Rest in Peace, RJ Mitte

The talented actor who captured our hearts as Walter White Jr. (Flynn) in the iconic series Breaking Bad has passed away. He was only 34 years old.

When tasking himself with a follow-up to La Dolce Vita, Federico Fellini hit a massive creative wall. He forgot what film he wanted to make, the script was non-existent, and sets were built with no purpose.

Instead of walking away, he chose to make a movie about a director who doesn't know what movie he is making. The result was 8½ (1962)—a sublime, autobiographical journey through the chaotic subconscious of an artist that completely redefined modern surrealism.

For Casino (1995), Martin Scorsese refused to build a artificial casino replica on a Hollywood backlot. Instead, the production set up camp directly on the floor of Vegas's legendary Riviera Hotel and Casino, shooting during grueling graveyard shifts from 10 PM to 4 AM.

In Campbell's Kingdom (1957), British cinema witnessed a phenomenal clash of styles. Dirk Bogarde played the resilient, quiet hero fighting for his legacy, while Stanley Baker brought his signature, menacing grit to the screen as the ruthless antagonist.

Remembering Dušan Makavejev on what would have been his 94th birthday!

In Love Affair, or the Case of the Missing Switchboard Operator (1967), he blends documentary elements, eroticism and black comedy in an unconventional portrait of love and social conformity.

“It’s very difficult to say what makes you get involved in movies. You just see so many movies that at some point it becomes part of your life. As soon as you see ten, they become part of you. Movies always follow us as reference material or as some kind of dreamlike material for dealing with things we don’t understand in our lives. Movies give us solutions, or provide a whispering commentary on what is happening around us.”

Remembering Satoshi Kon on what would have been his 63rd birthday!

In Paprika (2006), he dissolves the boundaries between dreams and reality through fluid transitions, surreal imagery and astonishing visual transformations.

, 66 years ago, The Magnificent Seven (1960), directed by John Sturges, was released in the United States.

John Huston's core philosophy on the immersive power of cinema, broken down by context and tone:

"…Let me make an experiment, maybe you will understand better what I mean. Move your eyes, quickly, from an object on one side of this room to an object on the other side. In a film you would use the cut. Watch! There—you did exactly what I expected: in moving your head from one side of the room to the other, you briefly closed your eyes. Try it again, in the other direction. There! You see, you do it automatically. Once you know the distance between the two objects, you blink instinctively. That's a cut. If you were to pan, like we could do with the camera or as you could do with your eyes, from one side to the other, passing all the objects on the way, and then back again, it would become tedious beyond endurance. This does it for you. In the same way, almost all the devices of film have a physiological counterpart. It's a matter of learning—again—to use it..."
