Agreed: like they can't even hold a camera still? Camera operators figured that out in the goddamn 1910's! I think it would have more interesting outcomes if experienced and established directors applied the rules as opposed to upstarts and students. You have to master the basics before you can be a Mondrian or Rothko.
How can something be over-hyped when practically no one knows what it is, and it is mainly directed at students and practitioners of cinema? It's not like it is crypto or day trading or something, where it is plastered across every square inch of media and billions of dollars are spent shilling pyramid schemes. I'd call that over-hyped. But an esoteric cinema style that a small minority appreciate isn't really. Taste is taste. At least you tried it, good on you.
- drdaeman 4y agoI’d say Von Trier was overhyped in my personal echo chamber/network at some point. I can imagine, GP’s “overhyped” probably means the same thing about this Dogme stuff. Too many information sources (be it some mass media or peers) claim some exceptional quality and GP’s personal opinion digresses.
