Been tryna watch this for the better part of a decade and stumbled on a 4K Criterion restoration on YouTube. Good work, algorithm!
Haunting and beautiful, just like the opening song featured throughout. Also the little girl is just so mad creepy-cute lmfao the boy too but I want to fight him
I do not know if I knew Capote wrote this screenplay!
Started this at 3:30 AM yawning like hell and boy was I perked up by 4:00!
The cinematography and direction overall are absolutely stunning. Also the ghosts have such an evil look. I love it.
There’s a moving shot halfway through during a convo between Miss Giddens and Mrs. Grose and I was so in awe of the shot I had to rewind to catch the dialogue…..twice
Ngl gotta start pacing out the paranoia / gaslighting themes in films. I’ve been getting too high
