I know that Robert Eggers used paintings by Caspar David Friedrich and Christian Dahl as references for Nosferatu. When I saw the film, I was also reminded of Northern German artist Philipp Otto Runge (1777–1810). Obvious, right?

Great 🧵on multi-camera TV and the look of your favourite TV show from yesteryear👇

The death of multi-camera TV: a thread. I know most of you will know the technical parts of this (and may have read it in the other place) but bear with me. 1/ 🧵

Among other things, it deals with the legacy of slavery and colonialism.
It's as if The Fall of the House of Usher were set among the descendants of slave owners.

A film like a wonder. Strange, dreamy and yet political…

Pessimistic line of the day:

“Everything good dies here. Even the stars”
(Full dialog in the alt text)

I Walked with a Zombie
Jacques Tourneur, 1943

Screenplay by Curt Siodmak and Ardel Wray
#JacquesTourneur #CurtSiodmak #FilmSky

Paul Holland (Tom Conway): It's not beautiful.
Betsy Connell (Frances Dee): You read my thoughts, Mr. Holland.
Paul Holland: It's easy enough to read the thoughts of a newcomer. Everything seems beautiful because you don't understand. Those flying fish, they're not leaping for joy, they're jumping in terror. Bigger fish want to eat them. That luminous water, it takes its gleam from millions of tiny dead bodies. The glitter of putrescence. There's no beauty here, only death and decay.
Betsy Connell: You can't really believe that.
Paul Holland: Everything good dies here. Even the stars
