Aside from the DFI-funded film screenings, the program also Advanced lessons included in Any deans of the movie world Share their experiences in conversation with Richard Pena with Clips from the movies they worked on on.
One of This year she was the masters of Jacqueline West – AL costume well-known designer for Ha work in Movies like “The Revenant and Dune”. It’s always refreshing to look at filmmaking and the photography process through eyes of A professional whose point of view we rarely hear.
Also, I was totally on board When Jacqueline West said, “The costume is where the actor meets the character,” especially as a person who Take Shakespeare as first And last word on how “apparel The man often declares.
And not herself an avid reader of Her college literature described her college years as “foundational” for several years times for how You approach her work, especially when she’s working on Historical drama projects. the West mother He was also A famous designer and after several attempts to try not to follow in Her footsteps, she set up clothes store in Los Angeles (Los Angeles) next To the restaurant It is frequently visited by movie stars. And before you know it, according to her, “I got involved in photography business. “
During his master’s classes, he was first A clip they showed was from the movie “Quills.” in Which is very young Kate Winslet plays a washerwoman who He serves in the asylum where the Marquis de Sade was being held. West explained how for all project I went to historical resources and got bored over graphics in in order to get the correct details. For “Quills” and many other films, production set up their own workshops to make costumes.
West has cooperated with Many famous directors times Including Terrence Malick. For the Masters, they showed a clip from “Knight of Cups “in which many participated people I own party in Los Angeles house About a pool also Starring the famous Antonio Banderas. West explained how for This movie they rented almost all the clothes and they signed the warranty for everyone of they.
“Malik is the god of water,” West continued, and that in Every movie has it characters He was made to go into the water. When Malek suggested this while filming of “Knight of cups” Also, West had to put her foot down. As a compromise, Banderas came to the rescue and said he’d be happy to do so. jump inside the pool Same as it was wearing his own suit.
A movie where the actors can barely survive wearing Their wardrobe was “The Revenant”. West said story of how The stakes were high real Because they didn’t want actors to freeze death. She said she studied magazines of Fur trappers and traders in In order to secure the bearskin for film, she had to obtain a dealer’s license herself.
Looks like they killed the two biggest bears in a year And she had to make an offer for they. The magazines and records I read revealed that hunters would start off with “European clothing” But as conditions grew more severe, they would add Animal skins on their clothes, and often all of them costume will finish up being made of animal leather.
Another “movie”. project that the West did on It was “Dune” and this time, she was trying to keep the cast calm instead of warm. When approaching Villeneuve for the projectShe explains that she’s not into science fiction and he replies that it was perfect because he didn’t want Sci-fi look.
her inspiration when designing costumes for The film was of course Tuareg, and again notes of travel book who He was in Middle East came in easy. When I talked about “Dune” I revealed it for the lead Roles in particular, regardless of costumehas always given the actor a spell of Some sort in to request for them to enter into role. the one She gave Chalamet to wear a “sash” printed inside his suit with Maad Dib – Desert Mouse from the Dunes worldrevealed Nina E. Roth in daily screen.
The answer to the question of What happened to these costumes After all this time and energy was invested in it, West told story of how Terrence Malick was all costumes Burned after shooting of “New World”, the West only managed to save one that he wears leadto be delivered to a museum.
This was a harsh advertisement indeedwe take just I watched a clip from “Dune” where people Try to survive on burning planet, made I wonder about sustainability of cinema industry.
the apparel It is said that the industry one of worst offenders in depletion of the planet’s water resources. West also described “still suits” in “Dune” and how They turn body waste in drinking water againI’m used to how The film industry needed its own “steady suit”, at least by recycling the custom-made costumes and groups.
