TRUFFAUT HITCHCOCK

 Among the many interesting things to be found at the If Charlie Parker Was A Gunslinger web log are audio files of many of the Truffaut-Hitchcock tapes, from which Truffaut's great book of interviews with Hitchcock was compiled. It's fascinating, and inspiring, to hear the actual voices of the two men talking about film with such wisdom and passion -- and, in the case of Hitchcock, often enough, sly misdirection. You can find the tapes here. Saturday, September 15
MOVIE DREAMTIME

 When we think of dreamlike films, or dream sequences within films, we inevitably think of the expressionistic style filmmakers often use to signal a dream state -- but of course real dreams do not present themselves in that way. We might, in a dream, find ourselves at home and discover a previously unnoticed door opening onto a previously unsuspected wing of the house -- but that wing is not appointed like the cabinet of Dr. Caligari . . . it is as convincingly real a place, in the dream, as the actual house we know.  |
