Irreversible, I could not stand the camera work in some scenes, you know where the camera goes all over the place, round and rouns, awful.
The style wasn't for everyone, however it did increase the intensitity of the already overly intense feel of the film.
Plus there are other parts without the crazy spinning camera that were very well done as well.
I was just gonna say Baraka when I saw there was a new post! How did that work?
Well here's a couple more...
Traffic - Use of film grain coming over the border n' such...wow.
Gangs of New York - The into, the Four Points gangs round up, etc...can't take my eyes off the first 10-15 mins of that movie...luscious.
Casablanca - Great lighting and camera angles in the club, etc...beautiful.
Raising Arizona - Some of those highway shots with the biker n' all...gosh!
Final Fantasy: Advent Children - It should still count...difference is it's a virtual camera. Regardless, the shots are impressive.
And can't believe no one's said Raging Bull yet - No particular example...it's all good.
