The new movie has torture, gorgeous cinematography, including cool shots of the collider firing up, bizarre plot twists and turns, and, like the earlier movie, Mr. Hanks dashing into the library (in this case the fabled Vatican archives) at crucial moments to retrieve and decode in a few ticking minutes some long-lost document.
Ungainly, untamed, overstuffed and over the top, "Generation P" looks like money (the cool cinematography is by Aleksei Rodionov), but it baffles at least as often as it amuses.
Ms. Scherson's style — backed wholeheartedly by the cool cinematography of Ricardo de Angelis — may value mood over information, but it's the perfect vehicle for a portrait of two damaged souls grasping for a security they no longer possess.
But facts don't need to stand in the way of horror movie fantasies and cool marine cinematography.
Ericson Core's cinematography features some crazy-cool shots, like a glittering aerial view of a Los Angeles blacktop at night before a race; he makes it look like a jeweler's case, with a few glittering stones on either side.
And it lets you experience the creepiness for yourself, helped by the cool, clear "reportage" cinematography of the late Harris Savides, in his final movie.
The film's cool soundtrack, intimate cinematography and wonderful dance sequences only add to the entertainment factor of a touching script.
Its seductive but repellent depiction of celebrity culture remains as relevant as ever, and you couldn't find a better introduction to the ingredients of many of Fellini's best films: Nino Rota's magical music, Otello Martelli's stunning cinematography and Mastroianni's drop-dead cool.
Many of the filmmakers Mr. Campos admires — Fassbinder, Bruno Dumont, Michael Haneke — represent the more confrontational wing of European art film, a tradition that informs "Afterschool," with its absence of sentimentality and the cool formal control of its arresting widescreen cinematography.
With cinematography that is a character in itself, an aching, cool slow burn of unfolding drama, and an incredibly driven cast who continues to raise the bar, The 100 is unstoppable.
