Williams’s video also features a dizzying assault of flashing typography, which races through All of the Lights’s featured musicians. Speaking to the Daily Beast, Noé described Williams’s appropriation of his style as “a rip-off” and said he was particularly aggrieved by Williams’s repeated use of his own name in the credits.

Evoking crazed experimental work from the sixties (T.O.U.C.H.I.N.G, anyone?), Godard, advertisement and Noe’s assaultive style sequence designer Tom Kan brings this all together with his own sense of aesthetics. In this interview with Art of the Title, he breaks down his relationship with Noe and how he went about bringing his vision to the screen. Read the whole thing at Art of the Title.

I haven't seen a newsy item excite so many cinephiles in quite a while. Talking to Allocine, Ethan Hawke has let on that a followup to the delightfully Rohmeresque films he's made with Richard Linklater and Julie Delpy, Before Sunrise and Before Sunset, may be in the works.
