Todd is a GENIUS! He most definitely belongs in the same echelon as Douglas Sirk and Rainer Werner Fassbinder.

He's a fine film maker but not even remotely close to the genius of those two.

This is a fascinating discussion. I absolutely love Douglas Sirk’s films. When Todd here mentions show suffering.. in the films of that era, we would not have felt anything without the power of good acting. Today shock value, profanity, expensive clothes, hair and music are the invisible interloper. Where is the good acting here?

Keep an eye on the films directed by Tommy Lee Jones (The Homesman, The Three Burials of Melquiades Estrada) and Jon Torturro, like his film Fading Gigolo, and his film on Naples, (Passione) and you should see Paul Dano's directorial debut "Wildlife".

Sirk used emotion, to tell a story, and the background was an unspoken moment to drive the next scene. Rock Hudson gives Jane Wyman a clipping from a tree that he said only grows where there was love. She was a widow with much more love to give. She did not want to be like her peers.. catty, cliquish, bigoted, boorish and gossipy. The film moves slower in All That Heaven Allows, but that rhythm helps her find her own in the end.

Joan Fontaine was thinking, perhaps too much on Suspicion. Cary Grant was a gorgeous, sexy, lazy playboy. She was a buttoned up, prim woman. She kept thinking all the time about Johnny Aysgarth.. and then, wondering if he was going to kill her because he needed money.
