The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari

First time seeing The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari.

Amazing sets and supposedly the first "plot twist" ending.

It's always interesting to read about the people involved in making Weimar era movies.

Some of them had to leave and some of them stayed.

Une Femme Mariee

Comparison of four different releases of Godard's Une Femme Mariee. Last one is Blu-Ray...looks great.

I found these on DVD Beaver. What a great site, so nerdy.

Here are a few more of their Blu-Ray screenshots. Does anyone know of any books about Raoul Coutard? He is my favorite cinematographer and I'd love to see his photo work. I'm going to watch these interviews as soon as I get a chance.

Alice '03

"The first-ever film version of Lewis Carroll's tale has recently been restored by the BFI National Archive from severely damaged materials. Made just 37 years after Lewis Carroll wrote his novel and eight years after the birth of cinema, the adaptation was directed by Cecil Hepworth and Percy Stow, and was based on Sir John Tenniel's original illustrations."

"With a running time of just 12 minutes (8 of which survive), Alice in Wonderland was the longest film produced in England at that time. Film archivists have been able to restore the film's original colours for the first time in over 100 years."

Found on the TamTam Books blog
