Twin Peaks: Fire Walk With Me (1992)
Dir: David Lynch
DOP: Ron Garcia
“When this kind of fire starts, it is very hard to put out. The tender boughs of innocence burn first, and the wind rises, and then all goodness is in jeopardy.”

Thespotlight shining on Maddy in “Episode 14” is an important part of David Lynch’s cinematography for the Leland/BOB revelation scene. Before the scene, the spotlight shines on The Giant in The Roadhouse–a public place–and is mirrored when Maddy comes downstairs in the Palmer’s home–a private place. The Giant transmuted both places and focused on the difference between Leland’s public appearance and his private appearance (BOB).

The Waiting Room’s zig-zag floor pattern indicates a number of things. One is that it is neither The Black Lodge or The White Lodge but somewhere in between. Another is that although it is neither lodge, spirits from both lodges can still access it. Even another is that in season 1, episode 3 (“Zen or Skills to Catch a Killer”), the floor pattern is on Leland Palmer’s jacket, linking him to Laura’s murder.

All That Jazz (1979). Director/choreographer Bob Fosse tells his own life story as he details the sordid career of Joe Gideon, a womanizing, drug-using dancer.
God, the 52nd Academy Awards had a stacked Best Picture category - Kramer vs Kramer, Apocalypse Now, Norma Rae, Breaking Away and this. All that Jazz ultimately lost out to Kramer v Kramer, which is probably understandable, but to me, this really deserved to take it home. It’s rare after all that a movie can feel both this spectacular and this intimate, this personal and yet this accessible.
It just works on every level and I really loved it a lot. 9/10.
