‘The Blue Dragon’ uses very filmic language and involves a lot of technology. It is more cinematic than theatrical and was inspired by comic strips and graphic novels.
‘The Blacklist’ was really right place, right time. I read the script and met with Jon Bokenkamp, John Eisendrath, John Fox and John Davis, and we just hit it off. They understood that I was not so much trying to adapt to television, but adapt a cinematic style to the things that we were gonna do.
From a filmmaker’s point of view, there is something undeniably cinematic about a location like Santa Monica Boulevard, which is so chaotic and busy and over-stimulating.
Laced with a unique narrative technique, racy screenplay and top notch production values, ‘Lie’ is a new cinematic experience.
The spy genre is something which, as a fan of movies, a movie geek myself, I just love that cinematic joy that they bring.
Probably 90 percent of the stuff I make has inevitably been done before… Whether it’s playing Hamlet, which has been on the go for 400 years, or pieces from the cinematic world that also have been essayed before, I feel released by that.
There is no other way to break the frozen cinematic conventions than through a complete derangement of the official cinematic senses.
When we say ‘cinematic’, we tend to think John Ford and vistas and wide-open spaces. Or we think of kinetic camera movement or of a certain number of cinematic styles, like film noir.
So vast is the shadow cast by the MGM production of ‘The Wizard of Oz,’ so indelible are its characterizations, so perfect its music, and so assured is its cinematic immortality, that most people think of it as ‘The Original.’ In fact, it isn’t.
I think I’ve always been drawn to the notion of talk as cinematic.
I thought labs were such cinematic, spooky spaces.
I think in the wake of the domination of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, everyone is now looking for a grand plan.
I went to Bruges for a weekend away from London. I was supposed to be meeting a girl there the next day. It was a tentative arrangement. From the moment I saw the town, I thought, ‘This place is just so cinematic, so gorgeous.’ Every corner seemed to offer a new image.
God of War’ is traditionally known for these cinematic, pull back cameras, which I think are fantastic.
Our music over the years has been very cinematic. It’s surprising we never really got into film soundtracks.
Something impacts me emotionally, art is a kind of outlet, and I figure it’s the same for a lot of artists. The way my mind deals with things is cinematic.
And it’s one reason why I don’t go to a lot of movies – they’re more and more dominated by corporate values and fiscal concerns as opposed to cinematic concerns.
I find movies rely upon dialogue too much sometimes, and you lose the power of what really the most basic cinematic language is, which is the visual language.
In terms of specific cinematic influences, certainly I’d recommend ‘Juan de los Muertos,’ and I also really love this French zombie movie – ‘Les Revenants’ – where the dead reanimate for no apparent reason.
I’ve wanted to write good pop music, beautiful pop music – not just throwaways. I’ve always wanted to make it sound luscious and beautiful and cinematic.
We entered ‘Lucid Grey’ into the Georgetown festival on April 27, 2001. Now ‘Sound of My Voice’ is opening on April 27, 11 years later. It couldn’t have happened in a more perfectly cinematic way.
A book and a movie are different animals. You need a cinematic perspective to be involved in the motion pictures. And this is something I lack.
It’s hard to get an inner dialogue in a film. It’s not cinematic. But in a musical, the character can just turn to the audience and sing.
I love nonfiction the most. It’s hard to find a good nonfiction story, and that’s why I’m not as prolific, I guess, as a lot of people. They’re hard to find. I love the nonfiction writer Ben Macintyre. I think he’s terrific at the form of telling a story in a cinematic way.
I’m thrilled to continue the tradition of the spectacular, cinematic, horrifying, exciting and emotional storytelling of ‘The Walking Dead.’ I’m a huge fan of the comics, and started with the show on the other side of the set, as an avid viewer.
I purposely try to make my music cinematic. I try to inspire visuals even though I’m only an instrument of sound.
