Yes. Empty. No, not for what it is... but for the sheer improbability of how it came to be. What do I mean by this? Okay, fair enough... let's suppose one of us could write such a masterpiece... such an ode to visual storytelling... certainly not out of the realm of possibility, right? Now how do you suppose such a masterpiece would be received by our beloved Hollywood… where skimming and skipping is an art form... skimming and skipping over all of your grand visual storytelling... all of those precious action lines? You can just see their dismay, can't you? Their puzzlement. Where's the dialogue? You mean it's eighty percent visual? Oh no, moviegoers--you know they'll never be able to digest that? (a chuckle) Far too obtuse. (a binder drops onto the desk with a thud) Read it for yourself...age, sex, IQ...it’s all there…that's your demographic. Your reply might be something along the lines of… Is not action the very essence of screenwriting? After all, the format rewards action and penalizes dialogue by allowing more of the former and less of the latter in the same page space. (a blank stare) Why a movie by its very name denotes action. (an exec taps the demographic binder…as if YOU DON‘T GET IT). You go on... A moving picture? A movie? And on and on… and on the battle rages...<BR/><BR/>It’s almost enough to make me want to become a director… then at least - if I were able to write such a masterpiece - I would have a shot at seeing it grace the silver screen... in all of its moving glory.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30413383.post-74569258632440569032008-09-06T20:39:00.000-04:002008-09-06T20:39:00.000-04:00I thought I knew a good majority of visual story t...I thought I knew a good majority of visual story telling, but this piece just blew me away.<BR/><BR/>Need to check the film out now.<BR/><BR/>Thanks MM, saving one screenwriter at a time.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30413383.post-43795894316575524802008-09-06T00:49:00.000-04:002008-09-06T00:49:00.000-04:00Perhaps the shot of the sugar cube in the coffee w...Perhaps the shot of the sugar cube in the coffee was better than either K or MM thought.<BR/><BR/>Because the shot has motion, over five seconds the coffee is absorbed and we watch the sugar cube change color, I saw it as more profound than just about the character. It seemed to me it was the way music is absorbed into a culture and permeates it, becoming one with it and thereby changing it.<BR/><BR/>And it is this power of music that eventually brings the character to a moment of change.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30413383.post-70752411354671705612008-09-05T11:34:00.000-04:002008-09-05T11:34:00.000-04:00Film IS a huge part of culture, even if filmmakers...Film IS a huge part of culture, even if filmmakers are only in it to make money. when "A Clockwork Orange" came out in the 70s, it had a huge impact on British youths and copycat crimes rose. plus, there are cult films, which eventually make its way into American culture (Star Wars nerds, anybody?).<BR/><BR/>anyway I've heard of Blue but have never managed to get a hold of it. but I should check it out sometimes soon, mmm?Sabina E.https://www.blogger.com/profile/14679639206346030919noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30413383.post-51693992387771500172008-09-05T10:35:00.000-04:002008-09-05T10:35:00.000-04:00I absolutely love Kieslowski's trilogy.

Even without sound or access to words, the movie still affects me the same way emotionally, if not more because I'm totally enchanted and entralled by the imagery. Juliette Binoche can convey so much with just her eyes and body language, it's amazing. And for her to bring to life Kieslowski's words made it heaven for me.<BR/><BR/>Great post, as usual. I learn way too much here. :) Looking forward to your next analysis.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30413383.post-38863055803645574422008-09-05T10:29:00.000-04:002008-09-05T10:29:00.000-04:00That was very interesting.

It does show that American film is totally different than European.<BR/><BR/>I'm really into images, whether they're full frame noticeable or in the corner of the eye.<BR/><BR/>I do believe that dialog can enhance images so I don't pare to too much of a minimum. But then I guess if I tried to write a script that used mainly images, it would work. I did a little sample I think here.<BR/><BR/>Also, I believe that banality is the key to tension. The memory image is the key. <BR/><BR/>Her breaking the hanging beads shows frustration and sadness. The knuckles along the wall seem to imply a lack of concern for herself.<BR/><BR/>Anyway, nice little vid. Admittedly, this is my first exposure to Keislowski. He loves the abstract as I do.Christian H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/16847810167041864292noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30413383.post-23766839942231356482008-09-05T09:48:00.000-04:002008-09-05T09:48:00.000-04:00It's years now since I've seen the trilogy, but I ...It's years now since I've seen the trilogy, but I remember Blue being the most difficult of the films because - as you point out - the protagonist is very difficult to connect with, she is so emotionally closed off for much of the film. For me that was always the significance of blue, which is a cold colour, and the emotions are like very deep currents flowing almost beyond perception far below the surface. I like very much nestori's explanation, though, despite knowing that this part of the trilogy was about freedom I'd never quite made the connection like that. Look forward to hearing your views on White and Red.<BR/><BR/>But you must watch Dekalog (in its entirety!). Many people will be familiar with A Short Film about Killing and A Short Film about Loving which are extracts from the series of ten roughly one-hour films each dealing with one of the ten commandments. The very first is one of the best, about the consequences of one man's hubris (Thou shalt have no other God...). The tragedy is inevitable but no less affecting for it (one for your tension collection, perhaps). Plus A Short Film about Killing should be compulsory viewing in states with the death penalty.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30413383.post-90480200993568051222008-09-05T09:05:00.000-04:002008-09-05T09:05:00.000-04:00I am one of the six people you mentioned (though w...I am one of the six people you mentioned (though we cannot forget the Double Life of Veronique, as well).Joshua Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08239067667651048280noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30413383.post-31716362624215951002008-09-05T06:09:00.000-04:002008-09-05T06:09:00.000-04:00Great post, indeed.

When I first saw Blue some years ago, I noticed the beautiful photography and intense atmosphere, but after watching it again many times the story really opened up to me and the emotional impact grew stronger.<BR/><BR/>It was enlightening for me to realize that it was a part of a trilogy of Freedom, Equality and Fraternity, and that Blue is about freedom. But it's not about freedom in the positive sense that we usually associate with freedom. Julie loses her husband and child and is know totally free, disconnected from the world - that's freedom for you. <BR/><BR/>It's an existentialist story about how humans cannot really cope with absolute freedom. Everyone needs something to hold on to, and that's why at the end of the movie we hear the words from the Book of Corinthians sung.

Rather than simply showing Julie accessing the medicine cabinet, Kieslowski starts the scene with her breaking the window in the ward which sets off the alarm.millar prescotthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08963642037866681492noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30413383.post-40360136998029391462008-09-05T01:54:00.000-04:002008-09-05T01:54:00.000-04:00Hey Laura,Brilliant points.

In any case, I knew you'd be the first to comment. I knew you'd love Kieslowski without even asking, and I thought of you frequently as I wrote this. Kieslowski is the first filmmaker that comes to my mind when hearing the phrase "visual poetry." I'm going through all of his films right now (in my Netflix queue) and will write more articles if inspired.<BR/><BR/>-MMMystery Manhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17486331815227364944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-30413383.post-43136469826689510002008-09-05T01:14:00.000-04:002008-09-05T01:14:00.000-04:00Blue is perhaps the best example of visual storyte...Blue is perhaps the best example of visual storytelling ever filmed...and the only movie I've seen that really captured what my own experience of grief was like after losing my husband. <BR/><BR/>One of the reasons Kieslowski developed such facility with telling things in an indirect visual manner rather than spelling them out was that he was working in a communist country, and many of the things he wanted to convey were dangerous.
