I love the intentionality that this lecture brings to the task of studies without having to get tense about it, giving structure to something I've, up to this point, just kind of did with images that I react to or have some interesting quality, like facial expressions or composition of the shot. What is becoming increasingly clear is that for every aspect of an image, there is a lot to think about, or rather, get curious about. The internal dialogue becomes the internal conversation. And it also starts to make more sense why we start with the nude or its analogues. It's a training ground to begin asking questions about what we are looking at, what appeals, what the forms are doing, how gravity is acting, how the body is responding. But even then, it's easy to get caught up in anatomy rather than the act of asking questions. Looking forward to the next one. The 5th Element is an all time favourite and Jean-Paul Gaultier is a madman! Who better to team up with Luc Besson!

So many spoilers for the God Father! Considering it's been on my "to watch" list for 20+ years I'm shocked it took this long to have any of it spoiled. The analysis is really interesting.
