“When I was younger, I liked movies that were very strongly lit, like Blade Runner [1982]. But now I just want things to be more natural. I don’t know why that is. I think that people can’t go to a movie and see something that’s lit … It’s too photographic. I don’t think you can ever make a movie that looks amazing when you’re trying to make it look amazing.”

— Harris Savides, cinematographer. Been thinking about his images lately.

“After Marie Antoinette, I was over movies…then I met [cinematographer] Harris Savides, and he gave me a new outlook. He was really into doing things small and as simple as possible. He got me excited about making movies again, in a small-scale way.”

—- Sofia Coppola on making Somewhere and The Bling Ring with Harris Savides. The Bling Ring was the last film that Savides shot before he passed away last year.

Woody Allen: Fascinating documentary made for French TV in 1979.

This fascinating documentary captures Allen not long after his Oscar success with Annie Hall and the release of his follow-up movie Interiors. Made for French TV in 1979 by Jacques Meny, and actress/journalist, France Roche, this documentary takes the neurotic King of Comedy through his childhood, early career, and success as writer filmmaker. Though the voice over is French, Allen’s interview is in English. —Paul Gallagher

Film-making is about having something to say—something that can only be said in a film and not a short story, or a play, or a novel. That’s how Woody Allen described his movies—it’s the best way for him to express and explore his ideas, his feelings, and well, because he has ‘to do something for a living.’ It was June 1979, Woody Allen was said to be hiding in Paris. His latest film Manhattan, had opened in New York to overwhelming critical acclaim. As the reviews filtered back to his hotel suite, Woody talked about the movie and film-making to Barry Norman, for the BBC’s Film ‘79.

As Allen explained to Norman, Manhattan was inspired by a dinner conversation with Diane Keaton and cinematographer, Gordon Willis, where they discussed the idea of making a film in Black & White. ‘And as we talked about it, gradually a story spun out in my mind about it. And, you know, it could be anything, it could be a sudden anger over something or, the impulse to want to dress as a pirate. You know, any one of those things could do it.’

But why Manhattan? asked Norman.

‘I live in Manhattan and wouldn’t think of living anywhere else, really,’ said Allen, before going on to explain it’s a great place to live—‘because you know you’re alive.’ —Paul Gallagher

下午三點鐘：
這件事，不知如何說起
不是難以啟齒
這事稀鬆平常得很
只是也許是順序上的問題
我常搞不清楚事情的先後
比如
早上起床
要先吃早餐還是先刷牙
要先穿鞋還是先穿襪
要先化妝還是先照鏡
要先梳頭還是先戴帽
要先說「我出門了」還是先出門
接起電話
要先說「喂」還是等對方說

「喂」
你知道
有些事得真的去做了
它們才會停止困擾我
所以這件事我非得這麼寫下來
我一行一行地寫
你一步一步地讀
這樣順序自然就有了
此時也正逢你的遠行
這留言算是道別
也是陪伴
可供你消磨
但這話不知能陪你到哪
你且管走你的
不要因此誤了時
且多為瑣事
無意可會
不可詳讀
過目即忘
如果能單純地
計數字數
1 2 3 4
就再好不過了
1 2 3 4 5 6
沒有輕重頓挫
1 2 3 4 5 6
每個字都是介詞
1 2 3 4 5 6 7
都佔據你一樣的時間
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9
搭配你一樣的步距
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8
左腳右腳
1 2 3 4
左腳右腳
1 2 3 4
左腳左腳
1 2 3 4

如果不慎留心詳讀
保持步伐
即成往事

此時
在我寫下向你道別的此時
你根本還不知道你將要離去的事
但我卻事先知道了
看到這
你也許覺得訝異
即使訝異
也別遲疑你的步伐
我的語氣正流暢
我覺得這已無所謂
我絲毫不覺得需要解釋
這只是順序上的問題
我只是先向你道別了
但看你毫無準備
不免替你掛心
什麼時候出發?
要滾去哪裡?
你還一無所知吧
不過你的離去還是如期發生了
不是嗎
就像所有的事一樣
只要保持步伐
所有的事都會如期地開始
如期地結束

我得向你坦白
為了你遠行的順利
我嘗試著安排這些話的順序
在你還沒走得夠遠前
有些話必須言不盡意
如此它們才好悄悄跟著你
伴你
然後在你的身後著地
才不至於絆了你
有些話
得被你帶得夠遠
它們才能傳達得正確

在你還沒真正走遠前
還得小聲說
像是在你耳邊
然後在你身後
你會愈來愈小
最後會看不見你
我的音量會漸強
最後我會大聲喊

但你聽到的
就像剛剛在你耳邊一樣小聲
你會覺得距離沒有改變
如果能因此讓你覺得安心就好

I want to know more.
