    Great talk. I actually own Painting With Light by Alton. For me, The Big Combo will always be the epitome of film noir. Recent film noir suggestion is Dark City. That is an incredibly great film noir with a sci-fi kick.

    For one of the most striking film for it's lighting I've ever seen was "The Third Man" with Orson Welles and Joseph Cotton (1949). I got a bit tired of the Zither by Anton Karas, but Robert Krasker work in this movie - characterized by expressionistic camera angles, chiaroscuro lighting and conspicuous close-ups made this one of my all time favorites.

    • @thethirdman225
      @thethirdman225 8 років тому +1

      +Inura Facititia Most of that film was done by an Australian called Robert Krasker. Another brilliant example of his work is David Lean's "Brief Encounter", which was made about three years earlier. I think it's the best lit film I've ever seen, although "The Third Man" is pretty obviously my favourite.

      @@thethirdman225 for a different opinion, one that I share. Here is a quote from the legendary American critic Manny Farber.
      "But it bears the usual foreign trademarks (pretentious camera, motorless design, self-conscious involvement with balloon hawker, prostitute, porter, belly dancer, tramp) over-elaborated to the point of being a monsterpiece. It uses such tiresome symbol-images as a door which swings with an irritating rhythm as though if had a will of its own; a tilted camera that leaves you feeling you have seen the film from a fetal position; fiendish composing in Vuillard’s spotty style, so that the screen crawls with patterns, textures, hulking shapes, a figure becoming less important than the moving ladder of shadow passing over it."

      @@thethirdman225And why should it? We all have our own taste, thank heaven. It is almost universally praised. Even Welles, whom I LOVE as a director, loves it. Too bad he didn't direct it--he knew just how many off kilter angles to use and when to stop. I got plenty of flak on a film noir site when I posted my whole review which mentioned some good points also. But not the overused Dutch angles or the overused soundtrack...lol.

    • @thethirdman225
      @thethirdman225 3 роки тому +1

      @@willieluncheonette5843 The thing about the Dutch tilts was that they were relatively new to the genre. It's not that they hadn't been used before but they were intended to add to the sense of mystery and confusion, mixed with a bombed out city. You either love them or you don't. Some say they're overdone. I don't think so. Looked at it from the perspective of a cinema goer in the 1940s, it was pretty radical.

    Yes - I would recommend the black foil if you can buy it (you may need to order it). As far as wattage - it depends on how much light you need. The higher the wattage, the brighter the bulb and the more heat it creates. I generally keep some low wattage bulbs (40w) a couple medium wattage (100w) and a few high wattage (150-200w) for variety.

    Actually filmed a Noir type short story back in the late '80's. Using donated equipment, costumes and cameras, we created a great suspense type movie (reminiscent of "The X-Files"). It was only 30 minutes and even earned an award. Lol...I still have the unopened box in my collection: A 24 Disc set titled "100 Greatest Mystery Movie Classics". I also retain the award winning trench coat.
