First I want to say that you have become my favorite contributor to this site. It seems like most of the articles I find myself clicking on have your name at the top. So thank you for that.
But in case it hasn't been pointed out already, I believe there is a factual error in this article. At the end of the intro, it looks like you implied that Robert Bresson directed Un Chien Andalou. I imagine this was just a slip up and you know who directed what!
Otherwise, another great article, and some great films to put on my list.
I can't wait for the day that an iphone can shoot 4k raw, and there's a whole market for different camera bodies with image stabilization, tons of battery power, swappable mounts, mic preamps etc.
that sounds awesome
Read Lolita, or watch the movie. It's kind of the reverse of the synopsis you posed here. It could spark something for you.
Also I like the advice of "go for a walk". For me personally, leaving my phone and gadgets at home and going on a long walk in the woods with a pack of smokes does a lot to get my gears turning.
I'm so thankful I was able to see this restoration on the big screen, in 4k no less.
