Lorris Chevalier, historical advisor, on WERWULF being deeply rooted in medieval thought: “Robert Eggers showed me 12 minutes of the movie. And I’m still having nightmares about it. It’s been 9 months. It’s gonna be a great piece.”

HEAT (1995) - FRAME 2057

It would take 8 hours for Pixar's computers to render a single frame of Toy Story in 1995.

This is one of my very favorites - top ten Toho. This and- obviously- War of the Gargantuans as a pair.

What even is time and space? Kurt Vonnegut's "Tralfamadorians don't see human beings as two-legged creatures, either. They see them as great millipedes - with babies' legs on one end and old people's legs at the other” So here's me walking through the world, leaving a 3D snapshot of every moment exactly when and where it happened. Feels a lot like onion skinning reality (to use the animation analogy). We are beings stuck in the arrow of time - who get momentary glimpses of what it means to break free from it. Perhaps this is one of those glimpses. Did not expect the last post to blow up like that. Really enjoyed the convos - thanks for all the love and the new rabbit holes to dive into.

2020s Horror legends

Before the "horror" genre existed, there was this masterpiece of German Expressionism:

David Fincher on his approach to directing SE7EN (1995): “I wanted it to be tough. First you thought it was gonna be a cop movie, then you thought it was gonna be a thriller, and then at the end it’s really a horror movie—It’s the fucking Exorcist, you don’t have any control over this, you’re just along for the ride. From the time he fucking opens the box and Morgan’s running to Brad and the killer, it’s like you realize that the end of this movie’s been written in stone and it’s been there for like eight or nine hours and you don’t have any choice. All of a sudden it became a horror movie, it’s like how do you deal with circumstances way beyond your control? You’re in the water and there’s a shark and you can’t swim faster than it can, or you’re in a spaceship and there’s a fucking monster running around and you can’t go outside. And here’s a man and the fate of his wife has been decided and it’s just a question of how he’s going to deal with it. It started off being a buddy movie, in the middle it becomes a thriller but they never really get in front of the train, and they thought the thriller ending was going to come and you just totally sucker punch ’em and hit ’em with a horror movie and I thought that was cool . . . just kind of fuck with their ideas of what entertainment should be.”

There's a lingering darkness that stays with you after you watch this film.

Franco Zeffirelli type of picture, but with Eggers' vision. Need some of that cinema of stink, herbal folklore, grimy Olde English worldbuilding.
