plato's cave twenty (being a film journal)

tony richardson - the entertainer - 1960

tony richardson - look back in anger - 1959

double feature at film forum. both tony richardson films are shot by oswald morris, and use the written word of john osborne. 

unique sound design in the entertainer with distant music (mostly harmonica) coming in and out of focus, with chris greenham as sound editor.

the perpetual trains in look back in anger are quite pleasurable aurally and visually.
