Fascinating example of how to create worlds: to take existing structures, architecure, costumes and accesoires from places as divergent as Africa, Japan,Cappadocia,Italy,North India and Central Asia to combine them in a way that has never been done before- but countless times afterwards.Time Bandits Mykene, for example.Concentrating on exploring the visual possibilities of a given story,for better and for worse.Still a great,exceptional film,can´t imagine that´s being made in another time.<br />MarenAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9149411832127844385.post-80214218773835473762012-02-26T19:11:54.091-05:002012-02-26T19:11:54.091-05:00Thanks, Sam.
