Let's highlight some of the mentionable posts from this week that was posted in CineTV. We want to recognize exceptional pieces and let the authors know their efforts are not futile. This is also a fine way to get some more traction in their posts.

• @amirtheawesome1 wrote A Love Letter To Synecdoche, New York, his poignant ode to a masterful work from Charlie Kaufman, a renowened screenwriter turned filmmaker. A great film as well.

• @hubeyma wrote on Captain Fantastic with Viggo Mortenssen, a renowned yet polarizing film from 2016 that took a shot at consumerism, mass media culture and populism.

• @marvan777 is new to hive, but it appears they have sound knowledge on some of the technicalities on set. Their post Shots, Angles, Movements and Points of view of the camera is a good introduction to interested parties.

• @evaredskin is on top her game again. This week she wrote on Blazing Saddles (1974), an action-comedy far ahead of its time and quite crazy in its execution as well.

Rebecca (1940)

Rebecca, Hitchcock's early masterpiece was released this week. It is a film drenched with loss, possessiveness—served in a bowl of horror and thrill. The frames are meticulously formed as well as the classic Hitchcockian suspense is there to take the audience on a haunting ride.

Breathless (1960)

One of the founding films of The French New Wave, by one of the founders of the movement Jean-luc Goddard. His jump cuts and abrupt filmmaking technique became iconic later on. While the film can be praised for its ingenuity only, it is one of the greatest romantic films ever made. A poignant drama.

David Cronenberg

The master of body horror was born this week. This Videodrome, The fly, Existenz, Shivers are all quite pivotal for the genre itself. But Cronenberg also shines in other genres, proving he is not an one-trick pony. His films such as A history of violence and Eastern Promises are masterful gangster dramas.

Luc Besson

Besson tried so many things and while some of his work like Lucy is a complete failure, his Leon the professional and The fifth element remain intriguing and masterful works. He deserves to be cherished.

Gary Oldman

Oldman acted as a villain in Leon the professional, and he acted in many many many more cinema. His versatile acting portfolio presents him as a true human chameleon—always able to slip in a new character's shoe and change himself completely. There aren't many actors who can go toe-to-toe with Gary Oldman. He was born this week.
