Draws on

What the speakers say they, or a film of theirs, drew on. Each is a speaker's account: “the maker said so” when they report the maker's own words, “the host's read” when the read is theirs.

Lenny (1974): 1 line

  1. craft (structure) · through Star 80 (1983), which they shot: Lenny ⇒ Star 80 (the host's read). Star 80's interview framing/superstructure echoes Lenny's, and Lenny is the origin of the Chevy-Chase-style voice.
    “This movie, you have the interview, this sort of superstructure that he loves so much”

Sweet Charity (1969): 1 line

  1. unmapped (technique) · through Star 80 (1983), which they shot: Sweet Charity ⇒ Star 80 (the host's read). Fosse's choreographic insert/isolation technique reappears in Star 80, applied to ugly material.
    “There's even the, I mean, the whole fossy isolation of the body parts thing, right?”

Drawn on by

What the speakers say drew on them or a film of theirs, marked the same way.

The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (2011): 1 line

  1. craft (visual reference) · them, directly: Sven Nykvist ⇒ The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo (the maker said so). Someone on the shoot (Fincher, or the DP by the garbled name) wanted a Sven Nykvist look: warm fires, cold rooms.
    “I wanted to do a whole Sven Nikfist thing”

What was said about them, by kind

craft (2)

  1. craft (craft): Star 80 → Sven Nykvist. Fosse brought in the European master Nykvist to shoot Star 80 rather than his usual cinematographer.
    “Like, so it's Fosse working with a great cinematographer, but not someone he knows.”
