Avec La Casa Del Papel, Babylon Berlin, Au Service de la France, et bien d'autres exemples, c'est notre tour d'avoir une grosse série digne du Québec! Des idées?
I just learned that the director doesn’t storyboard, doesn’t use light/block light, and follows the movement of his actors and the creativity/curiosity of the moment. Incredible.
Since both seasons are only 7 episodes, I'm so glad to see they kept the singular director strategy for the season. This way each season feels like a more focused vision than if a new director was brought in for each episode. Also cool to see a woman helming the new season and so far, she is carrying out her vision well, with a nice mix of Vallées vision and her own. I hope if there is a 3rd season they bring in another, new director to direct all 7 episodes again.
He’s directed some amazing movies like Wild and Dallas Buyers Club but I think where he really shines is in limited series television. I watched Big Little Lies last year and it is so far my favorite television show that I have ever seen and now I’m watching Sharp Objects, which still has that eerie undertone that Big Little Lies had but it’s taken up a notch. Both have fantastic use of sound, direction, and editing. I wanted to see if he uses the same people for editing in any of his work and was surprised to find out that he edits a lot of his own work. I’d love to look into the mind of this guy or just sit down with him and pick his brain about filmmaking. I wonder if anyone else feels the same way but I think Jean Marc Vallée is incredibly talented.
I posted something similar in r/television but no one really wanted to discuss anything. I’m just really interested in Jean Marc Vallée and would love to discuss his filmmaking style with others interested.
I watched his movie Dallas Buyers Club which i thought was filmed beautifully. then I watched Big Little Lies last year and Sharp Objects this year. They all have this eerie undertone but cut together with great sound design, music, story and editing. I love how almost all of the films and tv shows he directs (and -as I was surprised to find- sometimes edits) seem to be filled with rich, complex characters and story lines told in an enjoyable almost mysterious way using everything but dialogue. I would love to sit down with this man and pick his brain on filmmaking I really thinks his work is just brilliant.
I would love to discuss Jean Marc Vallée with anyone interested or find other filmmakers who have similar storytelling styles.
