the danse macabre is silent



have yet to find a good performance of the 4th movement in Prokofiev's Classical Symphony on YouTube. this one might be the best, but nothing really beats when Bernstein conducted @ Lincoln Center for the Young People's Concerts.

if it ain't baroque

Goethe

There is not a moment but preys upon you, -- and upon all around you, not a moment in which you do not yourself become a destroyer.

Possession


Love the camerawork in the office, and when the cam tracks in during the cafe scene. the perspective/angle while both sit on the other side of the bench is awesome.


This shot is incredible too. I love the way Adjani's coat billows open and she holds her fists behind her back so rigidly.


The scenes in this vid are pretty crazy, but the insanity really begins at 4:20.
