Rosemary’s Baby
The Passenger. As a film ever concluded so mysteriously?
And closer…
It’s a wonderful moment when you realise the camera is passing through the bars, an exhilarating freedom, in The Passenger.

Novecento/1900 (Bertolucci). Something of a collector’s item- De Niro and Depardieu both in hand; now how many people would believe the actress’s tale?

Volver
that glorious stop-motion zoom from the 400 Blows
what a load of beauties you’ve all been coming up with. Filmy Andy very neat presentation, and good to see Samantha’s of Double Life of Veronique. I’d intended to put in the beautiful ending of Rublev with the horses myself. As for Maya Deren, Col.Dax, here’s one by her husband Alexander Hammid, and his 1930 film Aimless Walk, surely an influence on Meshes of the Afternoon they worked on together
Aimless Walk

Picnic at Hanging Rock…
Mulholland Drive…
Suspiria…
Vertigo…
Nosferatu..
So many great images have already been posted, JP Belmondo, I love that shot from This Sporting Life, and Raw Deal Buffy, that Eternal Sunshine frame is unbelievably beautiful.
