Watching Johnny Depp maneuver all the obstacles to his vision is joy. I couldn’t see Landau 99% of the time. That was Lugosi.  Lush black and white.

Was there a spare frame?  A spare word?  No. Just a taut 100 minutes of watching French Alan Alda do his thing.

1966

★★★★ Watched

At some points feeling like a feature length episode of the Twilight Zone, but with great, nearly experimental shooting.  A few sequences felt a bit overlong to me.  Interesting that they kept a couple of the shots of other cameramen during the wine festival in the Final Cut.  That threw me a bit.
