The Road to Perdition (2002 Sam Mendes)

"Why doesn't the boy drive the car up to the house?" Because it's not as dramatically interesting. It's the same with all those long corridors - they contain more drama than short ones.

Cannot ever tire of Conrad Hall's photography nor Thomas Newman's music, which imaginatively has an Irish feel. Newman goes out with one of his best, matched by a laconic Hanks. Jill Bilcock's editing also most welcome. A beautiful combination of talents.




'Every frame's a painting' - indeed.
