Kubrick's films, from Dr. Strangelove to The Shining, offer proof of his ability to see people with all their quirks, a talent evident in his early photography.

The second season appears to go in a The White Lotus-esque direction with Oscar Isaac and Carey Mulligan as a couple whose fight is witnessed by two country-club employees.

Bucharest's buildings are marked with a bright-red disk, indicating that, in the next earthquake, this building could fall down, as explained by Radu Jude.

The gunshot scene in Bambi allows the audience to build fear, making them feel as frightened as Bambi, with visuals that resemble looking through tears.

The film's title, an obvious reference to profanity, also alludes to an incident dramatized later on, when John, on trial after inadvertently triggering a pub brawl, must give sworn testimony in court.

Film is like that. It developed from [the silent era] into Fellini and Bergman, Buñuel and David Lynch. [They] took these ideas and created a film that was really like a dream.

"It's true I spent most of my life being angry at him. The older I get, the more I feel like I never even knew him at all. My image of him now, I know, falls flat compared to reality."

In the history of cinema, there has never been a single script. It is a pervasive myth that film-making requires screenplays; in fact, most scenes are made up on the spot.

During a junket interview with OutNow, Gyllenhaal explained that the punctuation mark was included to represent the "whole lot of energy" that comes out when the historically muted Bride of Frankenstein is finally allowed to speak.

Not only does the streaming-only Netflix of the twenty-twenties no longer transmit movies on DVD through the mail (a service its younger users have trouble even imagining), it ranks approximately nowhere as a preferred cinephile destination. That has to do with a selection much diminished since the DVD days

10 Cloverfield Lane Mary Elizabeth Winstead, John Goodman and John Gallagher Jr are locked in an underground bunker for the majority of this left-field sequel to Cloverfield, with thrilling results. In the film's final throes, Winstead's character exits the bunker, and finds that her captor was telling the truth about an alien invasion above - a twist that completely and ruinously dissipates the hard-earned tension that came before.
