Had no idea Glazer's next would be a Holocaust film. Not sure what to think about that, but very intrigued.

Oh hello, "most anticipated film of 2021." I've actually been meaning to read that book, and now I suppose I'm gonna have to, although knowing Glazer, it might be a completely different beast.

I haven't seen enough of Birth to have an opinion on it, but I found Sexy Beast and Under the Skin both exceedingly tedious.

If Glazer is involved then I'm there.

glazer interests me as a filmmaker but a24 holocaust film is probably the easiest way to negate that

For some reason I kept picturing this in black and white.

December 8 release. Early December is going to be stone-cold legendary: this, Poor Things, Saltburn and The Bikeriders. November and December are insanely stacked. I don't really remember anything quite like it... Saltburn, May December, The Zone of Interest, The Killer, The Bikeriders, The Iron Claw, Eileen, Poor Things, Ferrari, Dune: Part 2, Magazine Dreams, Leave the World Behind, Napoleon, Rustin, The Hunger Games, Next Goal Wins

"no closeups" well that throws acting noms out the window. Most of these stylistic choices sound interesting especially how Schrader describes them (he's no stranger to these techniques either) but holding your actors in medium shots just undercuts them as performers. That's fine in a quirky Wes Anderson or Peter Greenaway joint where the actors are mostly there to serve the director's aesthetic but it didn't work at all in Roma and I'm worried about it in a Holocaust drama tbh...
imagine First Reformed with no closeups

Glazer's direction is the star of the show here. The point is to show domesticity and mundanity in the literal shadow of one of the greatest atrocities mankind has ever known.

At what point does it cross the line into a kind of dehumanization itself... I'm speculating but no closeups is something that worries me especially in a story about human suffering. I don't want this to be another Dunkirk where it's all about the director behind the camera at the expense of the human beings in front of it. excited but apprehensive is how I'd describe feeling about this one.

But that's the thing of it: the mundanity is at the expense of humanity, because the banality of evil that allowed the machinery of the Holocaust to run unfettered was rooted in people just looking the other way and just living their lives even as all of this was going on. Glazer's intent is to show how people could live their lives largely uninterrupted as millions were dying, and that it is the same then as it has always been and (sadly) always will be. People can be cognizant of great evil in the world, but they still live their lives in its shadow.

I posted yesterday about mise-en-scène - as done by Malle - well that trailer is a kind of dazzling example of it and the movies "contrasting" theme: * Baby and dog and man (man and beast) on different sides of a garden - or path * 2 beds - one awake, one asleep * 3 windows with double crosses with "light" only on one in a more pronounced way out of darkness * A flower blooms (beauty, nature) - a woman poses in the mirror (vanity, a sin) ................and that was in 1 minute ..........
