Captain Ahab **
Philippe Ramos, 2008

@ Uptown Cinema
Kind of like a fairy tale in the best sense. Very light, nonchalant storytelling that uses setting and mise en scene to communicate some of the story. Wouldn't it be amazing if, instead of simply structuring a (possible) series of films like a three-act unit, sequels or prequels were used to get more directly to deeper themes or to focus better on intangible, ineffable qualities of what we see on the screen. Perhaps that's what the Nolan brothers thought they were trying to do with The Dark Knight, but there are certainly other, better ways this could happen.
