About

Taylor & Tony are gone again! Thanks for watching! We returned in late 2024 for a limited series featuring brand new video essays, followed by a short film – "The Second," starring Paul Sun-Hyung Lee & Ethan Hwang. The original "Every Frame a Painting" was a series of video essays about film form, made from April 2014 to September 2016. We officially announced the end of the channel in December 2017. Nothing sinister, we just felt it was time. This post explains it all: https://medium.com/@tonyszhou/postmortem-1b338537fabc

Video Description

Even though Martin Scorsese is famous for his use of music, one of his best traits is his deliberate and powerful use of silence. Take a glimpse at fifty years of this simple technique from one of cinema's masters. SPOILERS for Shutter Island (2010), Superman (1978) and Man of Steel (2013) For educational purposes only.
