Another look at 1960 Michael Powell movie
really is trange; odd umble of tones
serious psyche investigation/ thriller-horror/ bizarre tongue in cheek comedy
showing how they are all part of one another?
plot ties up a little too neatly in the game of the overcoming of fear/ fear of oneself
not really as complex analysis of the dual nature of self-discovery exploitation of the camera as 'Blow Up'
But entertaining, and rather good fun
In a conservative way, it looks good
use of red lights sidelit, on all except Mark
generally pretty dull direction, classic continuity stuff largely except for a few tricks
direction of lighting is the key, but most of the time still three-point
wonderful first wide-shot, mixing up the lights
a genuinely strange, slightly wonky melange
