Cinematic DNA

You really want to get under the skin of the experience of being without sound, and the things that become more pronounced as a result, like gesture, like expression. So, going back to films like 'The Passion of Joan of Arc' [Carl Theodor Dreyer, 1928] or 'The Crowd' or Murnau, really immersing ourselves in them.

I was very much looking at Robert Bresson's 'A Man Escaped' (1956) in terms of its meticulousness and its focus on objects and details, the rhythm of the escape and the making of things.
