The Spiel­berg Face

Kevin B. Lee | USA 2012, 9′, Video-Essay, Eng­lisch ohne UT
Spot­light

Die­ser Film über­trägt die cha­rak­te­ris­ti­schen Kame­ra­fahr­ten in Paul Tho­mas Ander­sons ers­ten fünf Fil­men auf eine zwei­di­men­sio­na­le Kar­te. So wird gezeigt, wie jede die­ser Sze­nen Teil einer fort­schrei­ten­den Ent­wick­lung die­ser cine­ma­to­gra­fi­schen Her­an­ge­hens­wei­se ist – vom Prunk der frü­hen Fil­me hin zu einer sub­ti­le­ren Ver­wen­dung, die eher auf Kom­po­si­ti­on als auf Bewe­gung aus ist.
