All That Heaven Allows

“All That Heaven Allows. Sirk, a master of staging. He uses mirrors, glass, reflections, and the actors moving in a way that creates one-minute, two-minute masters that are breathtaking. This movie is so beautiful. Sirk has the black-and-white values built in his color. And that’s how I did Nightmare Alley. Watch it in black and white, it works absolutely perfect. It’s not as expressive, it’s not as eloquent, it’s not as full of desire, but the image design is extremely powerful.”

“Where's all the Sirks and Ed Lachman my DP I think timed them for a Criterion so Written on the Wind, All That Heaven Allows... They're just, and Fassbinder would agree with me, two of the most perfect films ever made and they have to be seen by you guys, anybody, everybody.”

“All That Heaven Allows Jane Wyman is a whole mood in this movie like this movie is basically like How Stella Got Her Groove Back but with like white people in Connecticut...”
