My girlfriend is involved in media production and film studies and today she mentioned the Orson Welles movie, "Touch of Evil." Whether or not this is a great movie is certainly open to interpretation, but it has some brilliant moments and compelling sequence shots (notably, the opening shot). The real treasure that I wanted to share here though was an old trailer for the film.
Touch of Evil Trailer
Kitschy and brilliant. This trailer is a masterpiece of film noir trailers.
Touch of Evil Opening
This includes the famous car bomb opening sequence, which is a real triumph of the sequence shot and sound design in particular.
Children of Men Sequence Shot
Children of Men was possibly my favorite film of last year. The film includes several stunning sequence shots (which is why I mention it here). This one in particular demonstrates why I think it's a sin that this film didn't win the Oscar for Best Cinematography.
