In this episode of “Notes on a Scene,” Bradley Cooper and director Guillermo del Toro break down the scene where Stanton Carlisle (Bradley Cooper) is on a manhunt at the carnival for a wild man that has escaped capture. Cooper and Del Toro explain how they built up the complexity of this scene by layering mazes and labyrinth-like funhouse elements while highlighting visual premonitions that appear throughout the film.

Del Toro is a genius, but The Shape of Water feels like a case of The Emperor’s New Clothes. I cannot believe how lauded it was. 🤣

Pan’s Labyrinth all the way though.

  Son unos de los mejores conciertos, no puede ir pero de tan solo verlos desde pantalla, se que estuvo sorprendente.

Bradley Cooper’s performance was one of the best I have watched this year.
He deserves to be nominated for Best Actor for that final scene alone.

Bradley Cooper is a total student of the game. I can see him becoming a director later on in his career.

One of my all time favorite films! Tyrone Power and Joan Blondell at their best – and one of the most atmospheric films I’ve ever seen! (It’s right up there with Eyes Wide Shut!!) Looks like you’re keeping it classic – can’t wait to see it!!
