  2. Wicked Witch of the West

    Producer Mervyn Leroy's original idea for casting the Wicked Witch for The Wizard of Oz was inspired by Disney's adaption of Snow White - he wanted to make her slinky + seductive. He thought he'd found the perfect choice with actress Gale Sondergaard who'd won an Oscar the previous year for her Best Supporting Actress performance in his film Anthony Adverse.
    Others however disagreed, thinking witches should be ugly. They attempted to give Sondergaard 'The Ugly Treatment' with make-up, but the actress herself decided she no longer wanted the role.

    "In those days I was not about to make myself ugly! I have no regrets".

    Interview, 1980 with Dick Cavett when she was 81

  6. Watching Cold Crash Pictures defence of Gone With the Wind, as a pointed satire of confederate apologetics (part 2);

    It occurs to me that we could be seeing a reworking of the history depicted, on a larger geographical canvas. Let me unpack that a bit.

  7. Auch dem kürzlich verstorbenen David Lynch wollen wir Tribut zollen!

    Kaum ein anderer hat die Grenzen des Kinos so sehr verschoben wie er. Oder kennt noch jemand einen Regisseur, dessen Stil mit einem neuen Adjektiv bedacht wurde (dt.: #lynchesk, engl.: #lynchian)? Das gab es doch sonst nur in der Literatur, oder (#kafkaesk …)?

    Wer sich dieses außergewöhnliche Werk erschließen möchte, für den haben wir Lynchs Filmografie hier zur Ausleihe verfügbar:
    filmgalerie-phaseiv.de/cgi-bin

    Wie wäre es mit dem unersetzlichen #NeoNoir #BlueVelvet (1985) mit #DennisHopper, #IsabellaRosselini, #LauraDern und #KyleMcLachlan?
    filmgalerie-phaseiv.de/cgi-bin

    Begegnet ist uns Lynch bereits im Rahmen unserer #TourduCinema Noir mit #MulhollandDrive (2001).

    Wer das verpasst hat, sollte sich diesen beklemmenden #MysteryThriller spätestens jetzt bei uns ausleihen!

    Wie wäre es zum Beispiel mit dem beklemmenden Paranoia-Thriller „Der Dialog“ (The Conversation) von #FrancisFordCoppola aus dem Jahr 1973?
    filmgalerie-phaseiv.de/cgi-bin

    Begegnet ist uns Hackman bereits im Rahmen unserer „Tour du Cinéma Noir“ mit #ArthurPenn’s „Die heiße Spur“ (Night Moves) von 1975, den wir zusammen mit dem #ThaliaKino aufgeführt haben.

  12. "How Did German Expressionism Change The History of Cinema?"

    German Expressionism was the angsty, stylized, and intense postwar cinema of Weimar Germany. The nightmarish shadows and innovative compositions revolutionized filmmaking forever.
