Australia was a mistake

"Kiss Me Deadly" is the great iconic Hollywood film of the 1950s. There may be Hollywood films of that decade that are aesthetically greater, but none with more insight into America of the period.

I once showed it on a double bill with another apocalyptic end-of-the-world 50s masterpiece, Christopher Maclaine's "The End."

I remember the radio music scene. I'm sure critics are right about its connection to Hammer's "insight," but I'd like to consider it in a different context, that of the cultural references that occur throughout the film. For one thing, the Schubert "rhymes" with its negative other, namely the other Hammer-hears-classical-music scene in which Hammer breaks a rare Caruso record the opera singer owns as part of his interrogation technique. And, and this is important, his technique "works." He may "appreciate" music if it leads him to his goal, but in one of many signs that the film is about the total destruction of all values, cultural or otherwise, he is equally willing to destroy classical music if doing so also serves his goals. Not as brutal as those American directed naked pyramids at Abu Gharib, in the film it still comes as quite a shock, one of many little explosions, sudden eruptions, that prefigure the big explosion that ends us all. This pattern is enshrined quite literally in the film's script, when Nick the mechanic says "va-va-voom-POW," linking speed, sex and violence. "Va-va-voom" was a 50s expression that meant, roughly, "What an incredibly sexy-looking girl." Nick uses it to refer to the speed of a fast car, but at one point he also uses it with Hammer in connection
with finding "a couple of Greek girls."

>>82506850
The classical music reference also locates itself in the larger context of the film's references to past culture, particularly Soberin's invocation of mythology. These function as opposites to the film's twisted style, and opposites to William Mist's "Gallery of Modern Art," whose twisted paintings we see briefly. In the film, space is malleable, plastic, fluid, and is constantly consuming itself. We cut to high angles, to low angles, to images taken from behind bed frames, in a way that denies the imagery predictability and balance, and denies the viewer's feet firm ground. If in John Ford space is static and architectural, an old church building framed diagonally standing for the Euclidean lines that signal community and continuity, Aldrich's space here is utterly fluid and self-destroying. This quality is established in the very first shot, the credits sequence of a highway in which Hammer's car is perpetually consuming space that we can barely see, the highway's jagged white lines on black also prefiguring those black-and-white explosions (Hammer's use of thrown popcorn, for example) that occur throughout. Indeed, the whole use of black-white contrast, especially in night scenes, feels violent, and also leads us to the end, which is thus rooted in the "ordinary" settings of the film. Thus thematically cars are linked to violence too, which seems absolutely correct both for the film and for our nation as the last century: one vast and interconnected machine speeding toward its, and perhaps the world's, annihilation. Even minor characters at minor moments acknowledge impermanence. The man carrying furniture into someone's new home says something like, "House of my body, move in when I'm born, move out when I die."

>>82506878
This is also a pre-Interstate highway, pre-freeway film. A modern highway is multiple lanes, and designed with careful landscaping and well-planned curves to give the illusion of predictability and safety. Reflective posts on the side mark out the space, even at night. The two-laners of "Kiss Me Deadly" exist in a total void, bringing out the space-destroying nature of automobile travel just as modern Interstates try to convince one of the opposite.

The classic reference are mournful, elegiac. Nicholas Romano, we learn from the opera singer, was "sad for the way the world is" (quoted inexactly from memory). They are above all anachronistic: they signal a realm of learning and knowledge, of predictable and meaningful stories and symbolisms that the modern world has now passed by, just as it has passed by nineteenth century poetry and music. These things have been consumed by the annihilating speed of the cars that traverse our highways, spanning space and thus denying stability. Classical mythology and classical music and Romantic poetry are not Hammer's languages either, even if they may help him gain insight for a moment in a case he is pursuing for totally venal and self-serving ends. Hammer's language, instead, is that of physical violence. He even says that directly, something like "I like to speak a lot of languages so that...." with reference to some martial arts moves he used to floor an opponent.

>>82506909
This is also one of the greatest of sound films. It puts the few of today's "maximalist" exercises in sound design that I've seen, with their reliance on crude, almost pornographic swooshy stereo effects, to shame. The sound of the boxing club over Hammer's conversation, the sounds of car engines, contrast in a crucial way with the quiet scenes, such as Mike's conversations with Velma. And like the image the sound has its little prefiguring explosions too, such as the crooked autopsy doctor's screams when Hammer closes a door on his hand. All of this leads to the machine like whoosh, echoing that of car engines, that we hear the first time the "box" is opened briefly. Sound is also used to convey, I believe, a final betrayal. When Hammer is tied to a bed near the end, we hear on the radio the sound of a boxing match that suddenly reverses: is this not the boxing entrepreneur's new champ, the one he told Hammer to "bet your shirt" on, lying down and losing just as Hammer had predicted, reminding the entrepreneur that he would make more money with a crooked betting scheme in which the expected winner loses?

Anyone seen the latest Lav Dias film? It has won the Golden Lion in Venice last year, and is showing near my home for the next week or so. Since this one is relatively short - for his standards, that is, with 'only' four hours - I was thinking about watching it. Would anyone recommend it?

>>82514126
I recommend everyone here join this discord for laughs and merriment.

I don't think Adam Driver has a lot of range. He seems to be everywhere and is probably overexposed. I think he can be quite effective if used well. I've liked him on GIRLS and thought Jarmusch did quite well with him in PATTERSON (among Jarmusch's best - the best since BROKEN FLOWERS that's for sure). He seemed lightweight and inconsequential to me in that STAR WARS thing (but who cares?) and MIDNIGHT SPECIAL (bleh!). Those 2 Noah Baumbach films were more his speed.

>>82515669
