The director of ‘The Great Beauty.’
Someone told me a few years ago to see a film — can’t remember which film, it wasn’t important. Go see it because it was beautifully shot. I went to see it, but rather than think it was beautifully shot — I thought the beauty was in the scenery, not in the cinematography. A good cinematographer can make most things look good. In this film, The Great Beauty, I think both forms are operating at full force. The scenery is beautiful, but he way they approach them, cinematically, is beautiful as well. It has a ‘summing‘ effect in the overall. So, to my mind, you get this doubling effect. Like Moore’s Law re: the doubling of transistor counts… And because of that — it’s very effective in adding emotion to a two dimensional image.
