how Godard accidentally revolutionized film editing in 'Breathless' (1960): his rough cut was 45 minutes too long, and, instead of cutting whole sequences like Hollywood did, Godard violently cut out middle frames within the same shot. the modern jump cut was born. x.com/JohnBarkerATRM/status/…

didn't understand the ending of a movie and actually thought about it for days instead of immediately looking up ‘ending explained' on youtube

33 years ago today, Richard Linklater’s ‘Dazed and Confused’ hit theaters.
the ultimate hangout movie. zero forced plot, immaculate 70s atmosphere, and the feeling of endless youth captured on film. effortlessly rewatchable. every song feels like entering a time machine into the 70s. x.com/CinemaTweets1/status/1…

80 years ago today, the first ever Cannes Film Festival officially opened in 1946.
originally conceived in 1939 to counter the Venice Film Festival, it launched on the French Riviera right after WWII and became the global epicenter of auteur cinema.

when shooting ‘Rashomon’ (1950), Akira Kurosawa and cinematographer Kazuo Miyagawa pointed the camera directly into the sun through tree canopies.
at the time, this was strictly forbidden in cinema because studio manuals claimed direct sunlight would burn the physical film stock. the result changed cinematic lighting forever.
this is also Akira Kurosawa’s best movie in my opinion and definitely worth watching. x.com/RadiantFilm/status/201…
