Transcript

Will start with something here that is very important to me. It's the three dot g made by Krzysztof Kieslowski, three colors. More specifically, three color blue. That's real director master shit. Okay. That's the balance between and the the precision between the the communication between the the cinemographer, the director, the director, the cinematographer, and the composer. And, I will say that it's a movie that when I watch it, it's one of the rare movie that I I I'm I'm still moved to to tears by the cinematography. Voila.
