ferrara, filmmaker painter

-    --

The French filmmaker Olivier Assayas once called Dangerous Game one of the most daring moments in the history of movies. Few films make moviemaking look so ugly, even though Ferrara maintains unshakeable faith in the beauty of movies themselves. In terms of lighting, Ferrara is one of the most precise and painterly of modern filmmakers, and his sense of the beautiful remains evident even in his films’s darkest moments
