Ep 181: “The Count of Monte Cristo” (2002)

March 01, 2022

We break into Jim Caviezel’s “The Count of Monte Cristo” and discuss:


  • Cinematography, framing, depth of field, and shutter angle;
  • Story & writing, why comedic beats cut the tension, Edmond’s true enemy;
  • Directing & Performance, adding significance to a moment, ending a scene with energy;
  • and other such stuff and things and stuff.

All generalizations are dangerous, even this one. – Alexandre Dumas
