Today, I finally managed to film the blood moon until it turned back into a full moon. The scenes will be part of my next film. I used the Schneider-Keuznach 240mm for the first time, a wonderfully reliable lens. And now it’s time for hand processing!

I’m preparing my new film “Do You Know the Night”, inspired by a haunting poem by German writer Karl May. The experimental film will be shot from autumn through spring in Waldheim and the Ore Mountains — on 16mm Kodak Double-X, the same raw, textured stock Robert Eggers used for “The Lighthouse“.

I've now seen the trailer and poster for Chistopher Nolan's “Odyssey” and can't stop thinking about Fritz Lang, who also films the “Odyssey” in Godard's film “Contempt”.

Ed Chigliak: “Pretty big line out there. I guess 'Forrest Gump' really is more popular than 'Nosferatu'. […] I bet you if Tom Hanks had played 'Nosteratu', eighty domestic, easy.”

RIP David Lynch (1946–2025): He was one of the main reasons why I started making movies. After his “Inland Empire”, nothing was the same for me. I will miss his art. He has now entered the Red Room. Thank you!

Jean Eustache's THE MOTHER AND THE WHORE was described by Cahiers du cinéma as the best film of the 1970s and is now on Blu-Ray from Criterion. To finally be able to see Eustache's masterpiece is a revelation for me: Leaud in his own free-spirited world, where, in my opinion, he is at his best.

Studiocanal's Blu-ray release of ten of Alfred Hitchcock's early films with new restorations and scores is a masterstroke: I have never seen his early silent and sound films in such good quality. A great pleasure! @studiocanal.com @plaion.bsky.social
