Épisode 68 - How To Steal Like Wes Anderson - The Grand Budapest Hotel

8 septembre 2020

Thanks to MUBI for their support! Get your 30 day free trial of MUBI here: http://mubi.com/thomasflight This video essay examines how The Grand Budapest Hotel has one of Wes Anderson's most complete and extended references to another director's work -his recreation of a scene from Alfred Hitchcock's Torn Curtain. I show these scenes side-by-side, and talk about what makes something an artistic homage instead of a lazy rip-off.

Épisode 73 - Is Parasite Better in Black and White?

18 novembre 2020

Thanks to MUBI for their support! Get your 30 day free trial of MUBI here: http://mubi.com/thomasflight The Parasite Criterion Blu-Ray features a special black and white version of the film. In this video essay, I compare the color and B & W versions and talk about how watching the film in black and white affected the experience of watching the film for me. Not only does it provide a fresh perspective on Parasite as a film, but it helps us see some of the differences between color and black and white filmmaking in general. The video contains SPOILERS for Parasite. // WATCH MORE THOMAS FLIGHT -Ad-Free Videos and Exclusive Content on Nebula: https://go.nebula.tv/thomasflight -My Podcast Cinema of Meaning: Ad-free and early on Nebula: Nebula: https://nebula.tv/cinemaofmeaning Spotify: https://open.spotify.com/show/4n6zZZQjiKsLNfyldNAi8b iTunes: https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/cinema-of-meaning/id1611352831 -Rent or Buy My Experimental Documentary: https://labyrinthion.com -Read My Newsletter: https://thomasflight.substack.com/ // SUPPORT MY WORK -Support my Channel directly on Patreon: https://www.patreon.com/thomasflight Patrons get access to a discord community, monthly podcast reviews of everything I watch, and more! -Sign up for Nebula using my Link: https://go.nebula.tv/thomasflight Signing Up for Nebula using my link supports my channel financially. // FOLLOW ME -Twitter: https://twitter.com/thomasflight -Website: http://www.thomasflight.com -Letterboxd: https://letterboxd.com/thomasflight/ -TikTok: https://www.tiktok.com/@thomas.flight // CONTACT ME -sponsorship and Business inquiries: thomasflight@standard.tv -Questions, feedback, other stuff: contact@thomasflight.com (check out my FAQ as well: https://www.thomasflight.com/faq) #ThomasFlight #Movies Chapters: 0:00 Intro: Modern Black and White 1:56 I.

But he also spends a lot of time exploring spiritual and religious themes and subject matter in his films. Are these two aspects of Scorsese's work in conflict? Or can we resolve the Sacred and the Profane in Scorsese's films and see the bigger questions that run through the heart of his entire career? 0:00 Intro 0:51 I The Sacred and Profane 03:00 II "As far back as I can remember I always wanted to be a missionary" 07:08 III Stepping on the Image of Christ 10:41 IV You are the Judge. 13:24 V What can be Forgiven?
