    Sandy Powell is a powerhouse customer designer. I’m sure so is the guy. Please bring more off screen talent 🙂

      I really liked their design, but it was very subtle so not sure if it will.

    The Irishman instantly became a Scorsese classic

      Not really. It’s a great movie but it’s more of a staple of his than a classic imo. It’s also too long and the CG is noticable (although ignorable)

    David Bowie’s “Low” hair is alive and well.

    Irishman was cast well…30 years too late

      I thought it was great, very convincing in my opinion. The only scene i wasn’t a fan of was when de niro beat up the grocery store owner. Other than that its my favorite movie of the year

    Would love to see more costume designers in notes on a scene, such brilliant and particular artistry goes into costume design.

    love their comments about the ladies wearing outdated clothes because it was what they wore in their heyday. that brought a lot of authenticity.

    Designer of all types generally are invisible to most people. So this video is lovely for putting them on the spotlight (also, they’re part of the greats so,.. that help haha)
