“It was weird. It wasn’t until I got to the second album that I really felt like I hit the people that I was aiming to with the first album, and that was just normal people. But actually the only way you can get to normal people is by… being big.”

“I discovered that what’s really important for a creator isn’t what we vaguely define as inspiration or even what it is we want to say, recall, regret, or rebel against. No, what’s important is the way we say it. Art is all about craftsmanship. Others can interpret craftsmanship as style if they wish. Style is what unites memory or recollection, ideology, sentiment, nostalgia, presentiment, to the way we express all that. It’s not what we say but how we say it that matters.”

- Federico Fellini

The Top Ten

Tue, 12 Oct 2010 13:59:00 +1300

I’m always asking people to name their favourite movies to find something great that I haven’t seen yet. So I figured I should share mine. A list like this is so personal, it doesn’t attest to their greatness on any objective level, just a subjective response, which is all one can really hope for.

Anyway here is my list, I would love for you to send me yours.

1. Andrei Roublev – Andrei Tarkovsky

2. Le Grande Illusion - Jean Renoir

3. The Beat My Heart Skipped – Jacques Audiard

4. Nights of Cabiria - Fellini

5. Badlands – Terrence Malick

6. The Good, The Bad and the Ugly – Sergio Leone

7. La Dolce Vita – Fellini

8. The Bicycle Thief – Vittorio Di Sica

9. Army in the Shadows – Melville

10. Sweet Smell of Success – Alexander Mackendrick

Surreal Exterior Studio Sets.

Naturalism is so dominant in commercials at the moment it is getting a little dull. Interior for Exterior studio sets create an eery dream-like dissonance that really gets inside your head. I have collected examples from The Bride of Frankentstein, Lemony Snickett and Night of the Hunter.
