On Construction of Griffith’s Films is a fascinating exploration into the mechanics of early cinema. This documentary takes a sequence from Griffith's Intolerance, focusing on a dialogue between a man and a woman. The use of shot and counter shot is meticulously presented across two monitors, which really highlights the nuances of narrative construction. The pacing feels deliberate, almost academic, as it delves into how Griffith manipulated film language to create emotional resonance. There's a sense of reverence for the craft here, making you think about how every cut serves a purpose. It's got a distinct flavor of scholarly exploration mixed with an appreciation for Griffith's innovations in storytelling. Definitely a more niche viewing, but rewarding for those who enjoy dissecting film techniques.
