DAILY VID: KEY TO RESERVA

Scorsese sells out and directs a Hitchcock homage!

I've often wondered if movies could be made today with the same distinct colour scheme and style of by-gone era's. David Fincher's brilliant Zodiac is one such movie which almost feels like it could have been made in the 70's. I remember watching David Lynch's best work The Elephant Man many years ago and believing it WAS made in the 40's alongside the Universal horror monsters. And now we get proof from the legendary Martin Scorsese that it is indeed possible to make shoot footage not only in the same style but most definitly the tone and colour scheme of Alfred Hitchcock.

I love this little vid, no doubt in some part because North by Northwest is one of my favourite films of all time. Don't get too caught up on whether Scorsese sold out with this sequence, it's just a bit none serious fun. It's a complete homage short - and no don't believe for a second that this was a unfinished Hitchcock film.

I would LOVE to see Tarantino do something similar with Sergio Leone!

DAILY VID - which has no connection to /Film€™s VOTD or Moriarty€™s ONE THING I LOVE TODAY from AICN€ (honest) is a brand new feature where we showcase one video I have found cool, humorous, insightful or all of the above!
