"The Duke of Somerset 2" - a(nother) drawing of the actor Brian Deacon in Henry VI, Part 2 (1983) directed by Jane Howell, done 1/29/2024 in about 10 or 15 minutes with one piece of willow charcoal and no erasing

#brian deacon #my drawing #2024 #charcoal #i wanna say this is a gesture drawing but not quite. it is quite impressionistic. i do wanna do more practice drawings #(i say as if most of the stuff i post on here isn't half-assed scraps)#like. i don't do a lot of complete fully-shaded drawings but most of my time drawing lately has been immersed in one of those or another #including the one i've been working on for the past couple of weeks after i finished that self-portrait. it's got me quite anxious that one #every time i stop working on it (including today... i did this for an exercise after putting it down) i feel like im closer to finishing it #but a part of me thinks ill never be done with it #shakespeare #visual art #jane howell #henry vi part 2 #bbc television shakespeare #brian deacon if you're reading this and i know you're not. hi you are sooo pretty #(as usual you can tell i'm far more interested in drawing faces than i am clothing. loool)#these sorts of practice help to break up the tension when i'm working on smth more effortful #it reminds me oh yeah i'm not a complete shitass can't do nothin artist #i just happen to be stuck on something HARD? never heard of it

Vampyres (Daughters of Darkness, 1974)

"Who's there? Outside? I hear voices... Met him. Picked him up. On the roadside, no doubt. Just like Rupert. Just like me! Who are you? Where the hell do you come from? I must get away from here. I must get away from here!"

Back then it was just a slightly #Subpar brit horror with surprisingly strong sex and violence. And all these years later? Yeah... Kind of the same. Certainly it's not the #Strongest of the directors horror films not even the few made during his UK exile from Franco's Spain (Symptoms is in another league #Entirely). But it's fun enough. There are some aspects I appreciate more now; the absolute refusal to expound on certain mysterious aspects #Of the plot (who fired the shots in the opening scene? Why do clocks not work around the vampires?) probably annoyed me first time round #But now I kind of appreciate the total commitment tk making a weird creepy film which makes not a lick of sense. Poor Sally Faulkner though #She would give one of brit Horrors most accomplished performances a few years later in Norman J Warren's Prey but here she is absolutely #Abandoned by a paper thin script which gives her all the character depth of 'unhappy girl in caravan'. A last minute cameo by Michael Byrne #As a wine loving proto yuppie who gets gruesomely drained of his claret nearly steals the whole film out from under the leads

A Zed & Two Noughts

Direção: Peter Greenaway;

Roteiro: Peter Greenaway;

Gênero: Comédia; Drama.

País: Holanda e Reino Unido.

Peter Greenaway é um dos diretores mais eruditos do cinema. Sua proficuidade no universo das artes plásticas, da literatura e da música possibilitam uma criação estética singular e idiossincrática. Sua formação inicial nas artes plásticas transposta para o cinema resulta em filmes nos quais cada frame apresenta um universo de significados e composição, sobretudo em termos de simetrias e perspectivas. Os filmes de Greenaway causam impacto justamente por serem diferentes de todo o resto na história do cinema.

As narrativas dos filme de Greenaway existem em universos singulares - extremamente excêntricos, mas possíveis dentro da verossimilhança constituída em cada um desses universos. Em Zoo - filme que impacta desde o título: uma mistura de zoologia, letras do alfabeto e algarismos numéricos - acompanhamos as obsessões de dois zoólogos irmãos gêmeos a partir de um acidente causado por um cisne e que resultou na morte das esposas de ambos. Não é um filme facilmente palatável, mas suficientemente possível em seu universo próprio. Um crítico teria dito certa vez sobre este filme: “Como você poderia deixar de amar um filme com uma prostituta que conta histórias eróticas sobre sapos?”

Humor cáustico, teatralidade, zoologia, reflexões sobre os sentidos da vida e da morte, reflexões sobre simetrias (inclusive a maior delas, a coincidência no tempo de gestação e de decomposição do corpo humano: 9 meses) e, sobretudo, metalinguagem. Todos estes aspectos podem ser conferidos em Zoo - Um Z & Dois Zeros.
