Cinema du Look / 2

Inside this enlarged sophomore edition, expect interviews, essays, photography, art and industry profiles on the subject of ‘material’. Highlighting the paramount importance of surfaces in cultivating a rich visual onscreen language, the issue dives into the archives of the likes of Paul Morrissey and Isabella Rossellini with New York-transplant and cinema preservationist Michael Chaiken, examines the interplay of pleasure and power in the canon of Paul Verhoeven, documents instances of fragrance on-screen, takes a deep dive inside costume designer Shirley Russell’s world (and wardrobe) and uncovers the meaning behind some of the most influential looks from Luchino Visconti’s iconographic filmography. 

Above all, as Dorit writes,‘Cinema du Look is about a passion for the visual pleasures of cinema.’

Cinema du Look is a new biannual publication that exists as a magazine, a reference book and a keepsake: a bridge between the worlds of film and style, with leading voices from both fields exploring the parallels and differences of these two industries that collectively shape our cultural landscape.
