So, we found the guy who's gonna make that FOLLIES movie everyone keeps talking about? Move over Rob Marshall.

10 minutes of genius. A few minor quibbles but 10 minutes of genius.

Compare it to Le chien andalou, the Surrealist film by Bunuel and Dali. (There's a subtle allusion to Le chien in a close up of eyes about halfway through; no razor blade, thank God!)
I think Follies at the Roxy is brilliant! But what i feel while watching it is more important than what I think.
P.S. Thanks to Phyllis Rogers Stone for linking to that. I'm pretty amazed how moving I found it.

That was amazing. He gets the tone and feel of Follies.

I've never been as affected by "One More Kiss" as I was watching this. Beautiful.

I've just learned that this photo of Marlene Dietrich as "Shanghai Lil" in Shanghai Express was used by David Edward Byrd to create the iconic poster for the 1972 Original Broadway production of Follies. How cool is that?
