"Kevin Conran's Sky Captain and the Art of Tomorrow"

 

"SKY CAPTAIN & THE WORLD OF TOMORROW burst into the sky and onto theater screens in 2004. With it came groundbreaking methods and techniques that would change the way movies were made. The real story behind the film began many years earlier and in Kevin Conran’s Art of Sky Captain & The World of Tomorrow, fans will be treated to behind-the-scenes stories marking the movie’s unique journey to the screen. As the first of its kind,this landmark film embraced the look and feel of the old serials even as it pushed the boundaries of modern film making technology. The film would inspire a whole new generation of creators eager to adopt its innovative techniques―techniques that are now commonplace in every studio in Hollywood and around the world. Featuring the revolutionary artistic contributions of the film’s principle visual architect, this stunning collection of Kevin Conran's trailblazing illustrations and designs includes incomplete, unpublished and never-before-seen work. This comprehensive retrospective is the first official collection of the film’s artwork sourced from Kevin Conran’s private collection and spanning over 20 years of the movie's history."  Take a look here.

Pretty cool stuff,

"Nach Mitternacht" aka "After Midnight"

 
 
"Frankfurt am Main, 1936.  Sanna Moder is in love with her cousin Franz, and she and her friends try and enjoy life and what freedom they have in a city and country that is falling deeper under Nazi rule."  This is an intereting look into Germany as it slowly turns into Nazi Germany.  Worth a once over so give it a go here.

Worth a once over,

The novel by Irmgard Keun in which the movie was inspired by.

"Tragedy follows a Nazi, his wife, her art teacher and the Japanese ambassador's daughter in prewar Berlin." Typical flick of its time and genre so if it's your kind flick, give it a go here.  
 

Nothing too exciting,

"After an officer dies during an explosives demonstration a newly transferred officer is tasked by the commandant to investigate if it was an accident or if there is more."  This was a pretty good flick so give it a go below and see what you think.


Not a bad flick,
