I watched this film for the first time about a year ago and now watched this film for the fourth time. Nowadays when I think about what film to watch next, I find myself always asking; "Should I watch Blade Runner 2049 again?" Now after finishing this I am still eager to watch it again, waiting for the next opportunity to do so. Villeneuve has done his magic on me, I'm completely in love with this.
The cinematography is maybe…
My new favorite thing. So subtle, so gentle, so beautiful.
Perfect character study of people obsessively needing to be in control. Handles two narcissists but remains to be a beautiful love story still.
So beautifully shot that it makes me levitate. That ballroom scene maybe my favorite shot of all time.
PTA might be the goat.
Bergmans maybe most spiritual feature. The Bergman delivers critique around religion in all of his films, but this one its maybe most eminent; the terrors of oppressive, disciplined faith being more terrible than the character of death itself.
The frames where also spot on as always.
Brilliant stuff.
A true classic thats status can be understood, with the amazing camerawork and this mush of a Fellinis self-analysis mixed with dreams and regrets of the past.
Also very very messy and loud and in-your-face in a way that makes this a bit boring to follow unfortunately. Like so much is happening so it feels like nothing is happening.
Big one-off for the time being, but for me comes of as a hard to watch mess.
