we’re watching MANK tonight and my immediate thought is that the lighting is bad
i’m not comparing the lighting to color films, i’m comparing the lighting to the films MANK is trying to invoke. even something as dark and shadowy as RAW DEAL (1948) which takes place mostly indoors, has bright highlights 
okay, here’s the thing. i am actually totally for a movie that tries to emulate the look and rhythms of a film from the late 1930s and early 1940s. but if you’re going to do it, do it! it is distracting to me, for example, that the editing rhythms are still very modern.
amanda seyfried is great though
