I’m always surprised by what gets a big readership, but it also depends on whether or not someone links to your blog from a better known site. My Tati and Tarr articles have had a lot of hits, although the “180-degree rule” is the one that gets searched for the most, probably by new film students. That’s what it’s there for…

Great blog on Hitch!
In the past when I have written a piece or two on his style, the posts have usually attracted quite a few readers.
Still a legend!
Kind regards…

I think you’re right. I was trying to find a frame grab to prove it, but that’s definitely GVS talking to pseudo-Hitch.

“However, “only convention” has persuaded us that Renoir pinks don’t have a legitimate place on a van Gogh canvas, and the minute someone with money decides, rightly or wrongly, that more money can be made by applying them, you can bet that some reviewer somewhere will be waiting to offer aesthetic justifications for the maneuver.”
