Smile for Your Close Up: Portraits, Perspectives, and Point of View
There’s nothing more effective than a good Close Up. A Close Up shot of a Protagonist, or Antagonist, whose facial characteristics take up the majority of the screen, produces an intimate connection with the audience. When I think of the effectiveness of the Close Up, I immediately recall Michael Mann’s 1986 Masterpiece Manhunter. Those who’ve seen the Film instantly know what I’m talking about; that soft, vibrant stare of…

I couldn’t tell whether I was shivering from being cold or from the tension and suspense this movie flawlessly delivered. Either way, what an incredible movie going experience and one of the best surprises of 2021. It’s a harrowing examination of humanity and our inevitable primal nature.

Black Bag 2025
We’ll need to come back to this during Award Season. Fassbender is terrific, Marisa Abela is standout and slowly becoming a must watch after her breakout in Back to Black (2024), the blocking is mind blowing, and David Koepp’s tight, thrillingly paced Script… It’s one of Soderbergh’s very best as he goes 2 for 2 this year. Can’t wait to rewatch.
