you can't think of nothing

on a big eric rohmer kick at the moment. between l'amour d'apres-midi and la collectionneuse i'm a confirmed fan. his remaining four moral tales have been pushed to the top of my netflix. below are the screen captures from the interstitials/credit and title cards of la collectionneuse, showing rohmer enjoying the availability of color in his first non-black and white film. one other interesting tidbit, every shot in the film was done in one take (the shooting ratio was a remarkable 1.5:1). even more incredible given nestor almendros' beautiful cinematography on 16mm (a format mandated by rohmer to keep costs down). makes you think about all that film stock going to waste out there...
