The Big Not-So-Easy

Criterion’s own Danny Walton was featured in his hometown Times-Picayune for a film he recently shot on location in the New Orleans area, his thesis project for the School of Visual Arts, here in New York City. It was a personal project all around, shot on numerous locations in and around the city—including his former high school—and featuring Danny’s sister in the starring role. He was able to be so ambitious in part because of local help, which the article proudly highlights, as well as recounting the trials Danny went through in the months preceding the shoot. It’s quite a story, and we here at Criterion are very proud of him as well!

“His modern films are the much darker ones as they do not allow the distance his historical epics do. For this reason I think that we can enjoy the sumptuousness of his work on Seven Samurai and Ran . . .”

“I feel that Kurosawa's historical works have an elegance to their visual style and plots. His contemporary works are more gritty (epecially the earlier ones) and character driven. I prefer his contemporary . . .”

“Historical. They're what made me fall in love with the guy. Even though I think he's a master at depicting modern japan, I first and most deepest fell in love with his period pieces.”

“I guess I'm biased towards his historical films, because SEVEN SAMURAI and RASHOMON were the first Kurosawa films I ever saw. Its only in the last few years that I have seen a lot of his contemporary . . .”
