They say you can freeze any one of his films at any second, put a frame around it and hang it on a wall. Precision and beautiful framing, staging and shot composition. The master of mise en scene.
Splendid, indeed! ...and yet, and yet...arguably most memorable: Lawrence atop the railway car... The frozen field outside the house in 'Zhivago.' The sea storm in 'Ryan's Daughter'.
Just before the explosion at the end of Bridge on the River Kwai, William Holden's character is felled by a bullet as he attempts to salvage the situation. When the woman he loves sees it from the hill above and leaps to her feet, it's one of the most beautiful things I've seen in my life.
David Lean has been my favorite motion picture director, ever since i discovered and started watching and seeing, hearing and feeling his provocatively gorgeous films both intimate and panoramic, forty years ago. David Lean often along with exquisitely talented cinematographer Freddie Young and master composer Maurice Jarre. They're the ultimate cinematic trinity.
Bravo fantastic work Adyfilk! You are a thoughtful collector of profound imagery from brilliant directors who represent the very best of our civilization! Thank you for sharing with us!
That’s great ! I can’t describe how amazing it is but what a work ! It’s absolutely mesmerizing !!! Pls continue like this we love what you’re doing ❤️❤️!
those 'ryan's daughter'' shots by the sea is heart wrenchingly beautiful.doctor zhivago, which i only managed to watch yesterday has so many astonishing long shots, and the epicness, the exhausting epicness of the story is superior to any war and peace. long shots were david lean's speciality. he could have done a lot of westerns to be sure. i don't like david lean's cinematography in close up dialogues as it conforms to the style of the 1950s, as does the thighly theatrical shakespearign delivery of the lines in those very very clipped queen's english accents.the beach shot in ''ryan's daughter'' arecomposed like an old photo i have of my mother as a young adult on holiday in france. that's what using real celluloid gives you-a painterly quality, where the colours blend together smoothly, rather than the pixellated rubbish of digital film, passage to india has so many wonderful freeze moment, and i literally do freeze david lean films or wind back to freeze a shot i adore.
Beautiful collection of images! But at 1-2 seconds per shot I just did not have time to appreciate each image properly. It was a bit like sprinting through the Tate Gallery. I gave up after one minute. Sorry!
This video, though it is good, would work even better if you remove the film titles in the corner. Better to list the titles at the end. That's just my opinion. Hope you make more.
Oh man, this video is about David Lean, having a quite a good taste of music by using the 2nd Rachmaninow piano concerto in his masterpiece "Brief Encounter". How can you destroy that by using such a cheap and shallow musical score in bad Hans Zimmer tradition...
This tribute is exceptionally made and well cut! Above all, this is absolutely touching. It makes me feel the urge to revisit Lean’s entire filmography🥹

Countless thanks, Sir David Lean.
How much glory and grandeur Lean has given us on film. Thanks for reminding me.
True. He has created some of the best epics/classics.🙏👍
Contemplating Sir David Lean’s dedication to delving into the depths of the human condition brings tears to my eyes. He was AUTHENTIC. 🔑
Goddam was this man's work a composite of genius.
Absolutely amazing!

Lean is a master of scale and scope
All his moovies are masterpieces
Lawrence of Arabia is very probably the most dramatic & beautiful EPIC film ever made. All of Lean's movies are remarkable and brilliant.👉💎
何たる映像美 迫力ある演出 デビット・リーンの映画は 映画館で見たい😀
All great flims by the brilliant David Lean but my favourite is Dr Zhivago
Magnifique
BEAUTIFUL INDEED

Thanks for the suggestion.👍
I asked you to do a tribute to Adoor like this. I think you forgot it..!!☹️☹️☹️
The high Alps to say adoo
I thought Julie Christie and Peter O'toole were siblings cuz they look almost identical
Perhaps Ms Manor and friends could offer up some marginal space for long range messageing
