So what’s everyone been watching? Over the weekend, I caught two movies I’d seen already (but hadn’t watched in quite a few years): Boogie Nights and Ran. One thing I noticed about both this time through is how often they use long, unbroken takes — though each does so in a completely different way. In Boogie Nights, Paul Thomas Anderson keeps the camera moving from point to point within his long takes, voyeuristically popping in on new groups of people and giving you the feeling of being in this whirling, vibrant party. In Ran, on the other hand, Akira Kurosawa tends to just let the scene go as his actors talk and debate, making it seem like you’re really watching these events unfold. It gives his actors a lot of room to work and can make for some pretty powerful, unflinching scenes as the camera refuses to break away from rising tempers, obvious lies, and devious persuasion. I really love them both — there’s just so much to dig into.

Anyway, this is one of the more interesting weeks for trailers, with the variety of style and subject bouncing all across the board, from a Tupac biopic to a Holocaust denial drama. There are nine trailers from this week below.
