It's infrequent that that happens - great performances and magical cinematography and great direction.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I think that all the talented filmmakers sort of share, I think, a sense of allowing magic to happen; of creating a stable and secure environment for performers to feel they can push to the end of their ability.
It's always really surreal, being on a film set, but inside a beautiful, massive scene.
Once a film is made and it exists, someone somewhere is going to watch it and that is kind of the magic of it all.
Cinema is still a very young art form with extraordinary techniques and very impressive special effects but sometimes it seems the soul has been taken out of things.
That's what film can do in a way that TV and other long-form storytelling can't. It gives you this very immersive moment.
Movies are like magic tricks.
It's incredible to see the creativity, beauty and hardships people capture when filmmaking is opened up and shared with the world.
Making the ordinary potentially magical is what film should be all about.
The way the films look will never entertain an audience alone. It has to be in the service of a good story with great characters.
For any director with a little lucidity, masterpieces are films that come to you by accident.
