However, I think, this film is not about suicide but about the attitude to Continue reading...

You’re tearing me apart; Jim Stark (James Dean) tells his mother in Rebel without a Cause (1955). Miller (Sidney Poitier) in Blackboard Jungle (1955) responds to Richard Dadier (Gleen Ford) who asks him not to call him chief, “Sure, ‘chief’. That's what I been doing all the time.

In this scene from the East German film Divided Heaven (1964), Rita and Manfred have lunch and walk along the city, discussing politics, Waldred and their relationship. Director Konrad Wolf’s central motif is to separate the two characters from the world around them, allowing the pervasive and intrusive architecture of the city to dwarf them in order to make them feel closed in and separated from everyone else. Through the director’s creative use of cinematography, the city asserts itself as a character of its own.
The first shot pans along the exterior of a restaurant – a low Continue reading...

Movie 1: The Life of Oharu
