Episode 349 – Shadows (1959)
Update: 2025-09-01
Description
Flickering dizzying hypnotic light.
The director reaches out to snare your eyes, your mind, your heart.
First time. The director despoils the virgin film with his demands.
Light and shadows dance.
Up is down. Right is wrong.
Whatever the director says is truth for those few minutes in a dark theater.
Gum clings to your shoe.
The film clings to your soul.
Shadows. John Cassavetes. Meaning. Meaningless. There is nothing.
There is only the film.
— “Movies Am Good” by Max Kerowacky
Poll question: Is there a director that you really just can’t stand, whose name you see and just go “nope”?
