-rain in brute force, 1947 directed by jules dassin, cinematography by william h. daniels.
the beginning of this classic prison break film by jules dassin has various shots of the building in extreme rain, and sets the tone for the rest of the film (turbulent and unpredictable).
-snow in mccabe & mrs. miller, 1971 directed by robert altman, cinematography by vilmos zsigmond.
the ending follows warren beatty around as he is hunted in the snowy landscape, which worsens over the remainder of the film, until the screen is nearly white.
this section of the film was shot during a nine day snow outside of vancouver, and further heightened by double exposing snow over what was already shot.
the photography by vilmos zsigmond reminds me of the snow paintings by pieter bruegel.

Until my third time viewing this post, I really did think the first Bruegel was a McCabe and Mrs. Miller still.... Beautiful post!!!
it is mccabe and mrs miller, the only bruegel was the painter at the end.
just a trick.
the one with the fellows running is the most bruegelian i think, is that the one you mean?
those hungarians can relate to him better i think...
and the poles.
No, I fell into the trick (admittedly, I was probably looking at the image from the corner of my eye). But just ask Tarrl, I'm kind of Queen Gullible at times - don't even question the mystery... Barry Fitzgerald could show up on the doorstep and invite me for tea and I'd go without blinking...
that codger barry f. could trick the devil.
i am glad though, it was the first thing i thought watching that part of the movie, god it is such a great work.
i was telling t. to watch it with the altman commentary which is real informative, and entertaining as well.
