The Dream of Matt

(video by jovossuck123)

I watched a couple of years ago the Dreams of Kurosawa, and I wanted to write on the blog something about, also on Ten Nights of Dreams by Sōseki, which are fabulous.

I decided to start with this video, authored by Matt (friends call him also Mat, so it's up2u).

It is a gorgeous video. Matt has definitely what we call esprit de finesse. His eyes see subtle details that we do not observe, and all he sees is rendered with a great sense of balance for the whole.

There is also another thing: the passion Matt has for the great masters of cinema; this video was created by him having in mind some images from movies by Tarkovsky and perhaps Wajda (think at Brzezina), or maybe from other movies that had followed the same path. And so the images in this video belong to the same world of the masters, speak the same language, use the same words.

I would say only one word of warning: there is a risk of narcissism in the video. Or not? Anyway, it's gorgeous.
