  • The Key to Riserva: a short film directed by Martin Scorsese and shot in the style of Alfred Hitchcock -- and also a wine advertisement. Wine aside, Scorsese does an excellent job capturing the visual tension of classic Hitchcock. (via aicn) (0) #

  • Martin Scorsese on Michaelangelo Antonioni.
    At the time there were two camps, the people who liked the Fellini film and the ones who liked “L’Avventura.” I knew I was firmly on Antonioni’s side of the line, but if you’d asked me at the time, I’m not sure I would have been able to explain why. I loved Fellini’s pictures and I admired “La Dolce Vita,” but I was challenged by “L’Avventura.”
    Interesting, because superficially the films are sort of similar, but I can understand why there would be two camps. Can anyone think of any two topically similar modern day films that split film lovers into two camps? (0) #
