![]() ![]() “No amount of money is enough to pay you to direct a movie,” says Scorsese, meaning there has to be creative satisfaction otherwise it’s just WOES. Not necessarily disheartening, just true. It seems to me that the only reason to make a movie is because it’s something that’s never been made before and is really part of your feelings about life and that therefore it should be something that you should finance as well as make, because that’s the only way that you can have the same rights that a painter has when he paints a picture or a poet has when he writes a poem or to a large extent a novelist has when he writes a novel. The way it’s been set up, and the way the whole profession has gone, it’s like, you have to tolerate so much stuff, you have to work on this movie for so long, under such unenlightened directives from the company financing it, and when it’s all said and done, they publish in the newspaper like the sports scores how much money it did, and they show it in a theater that’s like a box with ten other theaters and you have to not only hear the battery of critics that rightly or wrongly say their opinion, but absolutely everybody else I must confess, and this maybe sounds disheartening, but when I look at this and I think of all the work it is to make a movie, any movie, I have to say that unless it’s a theme or subject matter that you have to make, because it says something that has never been said before or just is in your soul and you have to get it out, I can’t see any point to wanting to make a film at all. ![]() It was a bit too much of a scene-stealer, that breast. Now that Sadie is dead, Eiko Ishioka has finally been able to crowbar her left tit back into her costume, which comes as bit of a relief. The above is probably the clearest view we get of him, tucked behind the mantel, and we still can’t see his jet-pack. But I like how Williams enhances his role by trying to stand in the back, out of the light, almost as if he didn’t want to be seen. Stoker doesn’t give Lucy’s suitors much more characterisation than Disney provided his dwarfs. Of course, in this scenario, Richard E Grant is Doc, Bill Williams is bashful and Cary Elwes is Dopey. Alan Parker wrote in the script for that, “They make love, as fluid as a flight of birds,” which deserves some kind of bad sex prize.Īs a child I just loved Snow White because she had beautiful black hair like my mother and I never could forget the glass coffinĪnd of course Snow White is raised from her coffin, as Sadie Frost will be… that’s a good hommage. The gory shagging also makes me think of ANGEL HEART, which is a sensation I resent. ![]() It’s not her favourite bit of THE SHINING anyway. “Yes, and you shouldn’t have done it,” admonishes Fiona. That’s clearly an hommage to Stanley Kubrick’s THE SHINING I don’t know what Sadie Frost smells like wet, but I’ll give her the benefit of the doubt. Well, wet dogs smell pretty awful, and stage blood never dries, so you’d have had a big red wet dog, FOREVER, I guess. Sadie Frost gets finally killed by a wolf, in bed - kinda looks like she’s cuddling a big friendly dog - and tsunami-gouts of blood splash in from all sides. (Apart from the sea, the moon, a few other little things.) ![]() Can this be true? Anyhow, this is the only location shot, it seems. He also says that as a result of shooting the scene there, Keanu and Winona were actually married for real. “My terrible experience has just been life.”Ĭoppola tells us that he originally shot the wedding in an abstract set with just shadows, but then decided to reshoot in a Russian Orthodox church in LA - abandoning his own idea of using minimalistic sets. The ending of COTTON CLUB, where the movie starts suddenly pulling together instead of pulling apart, is another.įiona is overjoyed to see Keanu has turned grey after his terrible experience with the naked ladies, because she has been transitioning to grey hair and has just gotten a haircut a lot like his. The big intercut is probably the closest thing Coppola has to a signature. So yes, doing a collection of actions simultaneously happening and edited together in parallel with a ritual is reminiscent of the time I did it first in the baptism sequence in THE GODFATHER There’s a lot going on here because of these various killing and awakening of Lucy. Yes! It’s time once again to play Watch Bram Stoker’s Dracula with Francis Coppola, from the comfort of your own home. ![]()
