The Images of Severance: Ben Stiller on the Inhuman World of Lumon

Stiller, who directed six of the season’s nine episodes, and cinematographer Jessica Lee Gagné on creating the unsettling imagery inside Lumon, and breaking their own rules. 

Into the Black

Fired from Lumon, just after the audience has learned she is actually the wife Mark believed was dead, Ms. Casey is ushered into a black hallway where she’ll ascend the elevator one last time. The pitch-black hallway with its ominous red light has already appeared in the paintings Irving is doing at home—a hint at something future seasons of Severance might reveal.

Stiller: It’s a weird set. It was exciting also because it was a new set too. We talked a lot about the texture on the walls, having it feel like it matched the painting. It’s the most science fiction-y kind of set in the show, just the surreal nature of it. But it was really fun to get in there because you could see like there was just so much negative space. There were a lot of really fun angles to play with.

Gagné: We have a lot of moments where it kind of falls off to darkness in these hallways when they’re walking, like where are they going? It’s like the unknown of Lumon. And this specific component of the show narratively is one of the biggest unknowns, like, where is she going?… It seemed like the black in the underground Lumon world is referring to that unknown, and how much we really don’t know yet.

“Live burial” is the name of a conventual punishment that is popular in Gothic novels, but it is also, as phenomenological criticism can make clear, a more general description of the novels’ physical ambience. The psychoanalytic application of “live burial” to the repression of the libido is inevitable in these particular tales, especially since it is sexual activity that literal live burial most often punishes.

Escape at Dannemora / 2018

Michael Tolkin publicó en 1988 The Player, novela negra ambientada en Los Ángeles sobre los resortes que mueven la industria cinematográfica. En 1992 escribió el guión y produjo la película, Robert Altman, pleno, fue el director. Un clásico.

Junto a Brett Johnson, fue guionista de  algunos capítulos de Ray Donovan, aquella serie sobre bostonianos en Los Ángeles que parecía menor de lo que terminó siendo, incluyendo un Jon Voight imparable e incontrolable. Johnson también escribió capítulos de la tan premiada como aburrida Mad Men.

En 2018 estrenaron Escape at Dannemora, basada en una historia real sobre una fuga ocurrida en Nueva York en 2015. Sorprende el tono sereno y sin que le tiemble la mano al dirigir de Ben Stiller. Otro, al igual que Jason Bateman, que sigue los pasos de Beat Takeshi, de la comedia al drama. En permanente contención, revelando de a poco, dejando trabajar a sus actores y edificando sobre ellos. Tejiendo.

Patricia Arquette arriba, en donde da gusto verla y no en las desgracias de pretensión e incoherencia tipo High Desert. Benicio del Toro sorprendiendo, actuando desde la normalidad y dejando el estereotipo. Paul Dano y David Morse aportan también al drama intimista que se vuelve creíble y resiste la tentación de desbordarse.

Jessica Lee Gagné fotografiando en claroscuros , conectando con el tono y manteniendo coherencia en espacios abiertos y cerrados, de día y de noche. El ojo hace al fotógrafo y el Instagram de Lee Gagné lo prueba en cuadrados. Director y Cinefotógrafa volvieron a reunirse en Severance, pero esa es otra historia.

'Severance': the dystopia of work-life balance

‘Severance’: the dystopia of work-life balance

What if Ben Stiller, the actor, the unanointed head of the Frat (some would say interchanging the ‘a’ and the ‘r’ would be mot juste) Pack figured out a way to cleave his brain to—in a life lived in parallel—go behind the camera to fill a directorial canvas of stunning, cerebral output? (Escape at Dannemora, anyone?) Oh wait, that sounds like something Stiller, the director, offers in one of…

Hello. Me and my friends are trying to come up with a comprehensive list of women working in film. Do you have any suggestions for Directors of photography that are women?

If talking about women directors is my hobby, women cinematographers is like my side-side hobby. If this blog didn’t take so much of my time I’d make another one just dedicated to women cinematographers. I love them and they don’t get their due! Shout out to the women directors who hire women cinematographers, I especially love the collaborations of Claire Denis and Agnès Godard, Céline Sciamma and Crystel Fournier, Chloé Robichaud and Jessica Lee Gagné, Gia Coppola and Autumn Cheyanne Durald, and so many more I’m sure I’m forgetting.  

Check here and here for some terribly incomplete lists. There are way, way more out there:
