Origin of the final walk sequence in The Wild Bunch (1969) Directed by Sam Peckinpah #BOTD #filmsky

Sam Peckinpah’s The Wild Bunch isn’t just a Western. It’s a savage ballad of dying legends, drenched in gunpowder and regret. When the dust settles, only the myth remains. ⬇️⬇️⬇️ cinephiliabeyond.org/the-wild-bun...

GOLD! Brian De Palma wrote a remake of TREASURE OF THE SIERRA MADRE many years ago that added an intriguing twist to Huston's film. Instead of gold, he planned to make it about cocaine. 👀 A reading opportunity that should not be missed: drive.google.com/file/d/114xY... #Scriptsky

My essay on The Wild Bunch for @cinephiliabeyond.org cinephiliabeyond.org/the-wild-bun...

Antonioni said that ‘the future is already knocking at our door,’ and those pulsing bursts of fire at the start of Red Desert represent the future Antonioni speaks of, the one that is ‘already knocking at our door.’ The door in this case is the cinema screen we are staring at.

On the occasion of his birthday, we remember the legendary François Truffaut. Today we're bringing you a rare interview with Truffaut from the December 1973 issue of the essential FILMMAKERS NEWSLETTER magazine, two superb documentaries, and much more. cinephiliabeyond.org/conversation...

Between 1999 and 2002 Takeshi Miike made 16 feature films.

Perhaps the most interesting colour in Red Desert’s title sequence is the one that we don’t see, but that is referred to in a credit: ‘Thanks to Piero Tizzoni of Milan for giving us the use of his pink beach [spiaggia rosa] on the island of Budelli in Sardinia.’

This is quite priceless: page one of the Raging Bull shooting script. cinephiliabeyond.org/raging-bull/ With De Niro’s notes: “Always find ways to express self thru body,” “Remember, I’m not a fighter per se…,” “Just concentrate on knocking the motherfucker out.” #Scriptsky

‘The Getaway’ remains one of the highlights that Sam Peckinpah’s rich career has to offer.  You can read the screenplay by the great Walter Hill at the link below. #Scriptsky #Filmsky cinephiliabeyond.org/getaway-rema...

Beloved grim realist auteur Aki Kaurismaki quipped in a 2011 Guardian interview: “The only way for mankind to get out of this misery is to kill the one percent who own everything. The one percent who have put us in the position where humanity has no value.”
