Sharp Objects

today marks the time i watched Jean Marc-Vallés's "Sharp Objects" yet again. this is in fact my favorite of Marc-Vallées work, my favorite series, potentially my favorite piece of media in god's internet. i believe its unnecessary to talk about how complex and detailed the story, the characters and the world is since its based on the work by Gillian Flynn whose characters are always grey and doubtful, but i believe Jean Marc-Valleé, like no other, with his delicate style, can translate any piece of media, that is so character based, to the screen. this leads me to talk about how insanely good the acting is. the actors are given these complex characters to portray and the director certainly know how to make the best of it, even the two actor who play younger Camile and Marian, who barely have any lines. the scene from the beginning of the last episode in the dinning room its the best exemple of this, where Amy Adams and Patricia Clarkson have this whole conversation with their eyes, which reminded me of another scene from Jean Marc-Valleé's series, another one of my favorites, "Big Little Lies", the scene when just by the look between Shailene Woodley, Nicole Kidman, Reese Witherspoon and Alexander Skarsgard the plot twist from the series is reviled. Marc-Valleé is a master in directing and filming eyes. this all, in my opinion, is complemented by his style of editing, especially the montage sequences, where he builds the mood for the scene, the episode or the tread for the viewer to hold to watch the next episode. his editing is really inspiring by the tone it builds and the pacing it holds while creating tension between characters and connections between scenes. this, at it's core, is a ghost story, my favorite kind (which i have to write an hole other thing about), and its as uncomfortable, as it is tender, as it is nostalgic to watch and its been engraved on my mind since i first saw it.
