Decision To Leave Review Park Chan Wook Can T Seem To Fail

Park Chan-wook is iconic enough by now that his name alone will automatically make a new film seem interesting. That’s the contagious skill of great directors — it hardly matters what story they tell or which actors they cast; so long as their name is attached, you know what to expect. The thought of a Park movie immediately connotes a hyper-stylized combination of gorgeous imagery and sudden brutality, elitist classical music and slapstick comedy, truly disturbing plots, and incredibly luscious, romanticized cinema....

There have been many stories of battles between movie directors and film studios about what a film should look like but you would think by the time Scream arrived in 1996, Wes Craven had done enough to gain the trust of the top brass of Dimension Films and avoid any kind of tussle over who was best placed to dictate how the movie panned out on screen.

Exclusive Essie Davis On Playing Moms In One Day The Justice Of Bunny King And The Murmuring

Essie Davis has a kind of graceful formlessness to her. Like Cate Blanchett or Meryl Streep, there is almost a lack of ego in her which allows her to completely change depending on the role; she doesn’t inhabit characters, they inhabit her. From her many years starring as Miss Fisher and her acclaimed parts in shows like The Slap and Game of Thrones, to her international breakout in the modern masterpiece The Babadook and the acclaim of her recent role in Nitram, Davis is so good that more people know her characters’ names than her own....
