Re: Jeez, 'phlouder. Outside of Outside, we agree on sumpin'


The interesting thing about Kane, for me, is that while it is supremely filmic -- its exploitations of angle are *exactly* what Bela Balazs was talking about! -- it is simultaneously one of the most _theatrical_ films out there. By that I don't mean that it's miming the stage; rather, elements of _Kane_ (for example, the lighting) employ to stunning effect a sort of stylized excess typical of the stage. For example, the light through the window in the depository is something you'd expect to see on Broadway, not in Hollywood.

Anyone else see parallels to German Expressionism?
