“A picture that stays with you is made up of a hundred or more hidden things” with Alonso Duralde | The Movie Racket

“A picture that stays with you is made up of a hundred or more hidden things” with Alonso Duralde | The Movie Racket

Description

Film critic and author Alonso Duralde joins Michael Phillips to explore a piece of filmmaking wisdom from Vincente Minnelli: that a picture which stays with an audience is built from “a hundred or more hidden things.”

Drawing on films ranging from Meet Me in St. Louis, Some Came Running, If Beale Street Could Talk, and Teenage Sex and Death at Camp Miasma, they consider how production design, performance, music, camera movement, and seemingly minor visual choices accumulate into something lasting.
