I havent seen every film ever made but I have seen a few thousand and this stands out as one of the very best photographed films I have ever seen, just amazing. So many great sets, locations and structures all captured beautifully. And the story and all the rest was pretty good too.

LOOOOOOVE this movie~! I sure hope that the...one armed man's bar really exists.
Darn! What was it called again?
Auntie Mame: "Live! Life's a banquet and most poor suckers are starving to death!"
I thought the backwards tracking shot through the soldiers arming their bayonets was especially impressive.

"Why are you wearing that stupid man suit?"
Yeah, that was one of my favorite shots. The long shot were Jodie Foster is finally introduced was amazing too; when the camera began to move I immediately thought of the long shot in Atonement, and then it kept going and going... I love those kind of shots.

Agreed. I just watched it for the first time on Youtube so it was a little blurry, but even still I could see how beautiful of a film it is. The art direction and cinemtography were flawless and the locations were stunning. Such a poetic, beautifully crafted film.
shareThe cinematography is brilliant. But so are another series of flashbacks, ca. 1910, to Mathilde's and Manech's first friendship as children, beautifully staged on the Breton coast and in a lighthouse. The scenes in 1920s Paris, rural France, and Corsica are vivid, crowded, and in landscape scenes, beautiful. And the 1920 sequences of searching and investigating become increasingly dark and deadly, scary in their own right.
As you are, I was. As I am, you will be.
