"Sidney Bechet shot someone because they said he played the wrong note."
Lots of stuff about Linus Sandgren's cinematography here. For example, the famous Mulholland Drive duet dance was rehearsed all day and shot between 7:20 and 7:40 pm. And the difficulty in coordinating the camera into the pool at the same moment the stunt man goes in. And just how the street night scenes were lit.
The film is so cinematic and emotional that it just wipes me out every time.
It was only our ninth viewing, actually. No it wasn't - it was our 10th - Q was right. (She always is.)
The Oscars went to:
Emma Stone
Damian Chazelle
Linus Sandgren
Justin Hurwitz
David Wasco and Sandy Reynolds-Wasco - Production Design
Best Song - City of Stars, music Hurwitz, lyrics Benj Pasek and Justine Paul. (Audition (The Fools Who Dream) was also nominated. On reflection, I think they picked the wrong song - Audition is better)
and the nominations:
Picture
Ryan
Tom Cross
Mary Zophres
Damian for Screenplay
Sound Mixing - Andy Nelson, Ai-Ling Lee (rather remarkable credits), Steven Morrow
Sound editing - Ai-Ling Lee, Mildred Iatrou
P.S. 7/10/23. Is there an echo of A Star Is Born to it? No, not really.
