Things that are great about MIDSOMMAR: 1. Florence Pugh. 2. Henrik Svensson's next-level production design. 3. Pawel Pogorzelski's slow, steady camera that lulls you into a state of calm. 4. Ari Aster meditating intensely about trauma and loss in the most fucked up ways.

The reason why the M:I - Fallout bathroom fight works so well is that it’s easy to believe these three men genuinely want to hurt each other. The ways it’s filmed and choreographed makes this visceral. Korean/Indonesian actions films do this well.

#GameofThrones rewatch notes: I've always loved this shot in "The Lion and the Rose." Very subtle, very graceful. Anette Haellmigk's lens effectively lulls (some of) the audience into a false sense of calm. All while a murder plot is unfolding in front of our eyes.
