This was a big one for us. The framing, color pallete, and pop- Americana imagery. I love how Burton envelops his audience into something far darker than you’re signing up for, and ensnaring the suburban landscape in what becomes a somewhat nightmarish hall of mirrors.

🪱Exposing myself as not being the cinephile I’d like to be! Eraserhead played as a tribute to David Lynch when he passed at my beloved local independent movie theatre. Went in totally blind, and sat on the edge of my seat the whole time. Spent the next hour dissecting and debating with my (cinephile) boyfriend. I love that weird little spermatozoa baby as if it were my own 💕💕💕
(boyf didn’t agree with my interpretation of motifs of motherhood and postpartum depression existing alongside Henry’s struggle with fatherhood until about 35 minutes into our lively debate. I got him to agree the two can coexist eventually)

🎵My favorite Todd tune. Hauntingly cinematic. This was a big reference for us on our score. We attempted to combine elements of Todd’s psychedelic breakdowns with exotica and romantic noirs (Nelson Riddle and Hermann) to capture the mental and emotional landscapes of our subjects. This song felt that way for us. Something that felt more like a dreamscape.

📽Todd Haynes’ SAFE is one of the best films of the nineties, and it’s a film we referenced a lot during our time on SOME KIND OF HEAVEN for its visual language. Julianne Moore plays Carol, a LA homemaker who inexplicably becomes ill with what seems to be a chronic and extreme aversion to her environment. When mainstream medicine offers no answers, she has to search elsewhere for help. The movie plays as a horror film where the only villains are Carol’s environment and frail body. The movie is engrossing and enigmatic, refusing easy answers and tidy resolutions. And lord knows, it’s become far more relevant today.
