  It tolls...for YOU : oOct 25, 2013 11:12 AM PDT | url
 
Added 1 new A* page:Continuing my tour of films expiring soon on Netflix streaming, I just finished "For Whom the Bell Tolls": Gary Cooper, Ingrid Bergman, good stuff--if you can get past Hemingway's sorta extreme idea of ideal male and female behavior. The look of it is interesting: in 1943 it wasn't even what you could call an early Technicolor film, but it's still got the punched-up black shadows of a black and white movie; you can see this right from the start, a night-time chase through the countryside after sabotaging a train. There's a lot of attention paid to the lighting, and some interesting tricks used to get shadows and colored lighting just so. It struck me that it's not all too dissimilar from what I'm doing with A* at the moment, namely that I draw it in ink like a black and white comic, then try to add a little more depth and definition with color over the dark shadows.
