The Celebration 1998
probably the most visually striking ~dream sequence~ i’ve ever seen, however brief. all my favorite blues are in this movie too (dusk, dawn, etc.) & i’ve never seen such an ominous chandelier, illuminating the room in splintered shards of light, like an exploding star. appreciated the gradual zooming out over the course of the film, away from claustrophobic portraits to eerie ensemble shots, digital grain making dinner guests look like specters. i do think the plot is maybe not as rich in subtext or nuanced as its visual language though.
