    • Martin Scorsese: ’3D is Liberating. Every Shot is Rethinking Cinema’
      As much as I’m skeptical of 3D in general and of the use of 3D in virtually every 3D film I’ve seen, I have to admit I’m pretty curious to see what Scorsese makes of it. it sounds like he’s really interested in figuring out how to use it cinematically: “At the end of a tough day’s filming at Shepperton studios, Scorsese seems genuinely fired up about the possibilities of the 3D format. ‘Every shot is rethinking cinema,’ he enthuses, ‘rethinking narrative – how to tell a story with a picture. Now, I’m not saying we have to keep throwing javelins at the camera, I’m not saying we use it as a gimmick, but it’s liberating. It’s literally a Rubik’s Cube every time you go out to design a shot, and work out a camera move, or a crane move. But it has a beauty to it also. People look like… like moving statues. They move like sculpture, as if sculpture is moving in a way. Like dancers…’”

    • Is Black Swan, Darren Aronofsky’s tawdry thriller, a work of camp?
      In case you haven’t heard, it’s a comedy. Or, at any rate, a movie that frequently invites laughter. Its pitch is theatrical, its style exaggerated, its general tenor absurd—in other words, as more than a few reviewers have noted, it could be said to exhibit the hallmarks of camp.
