I’ve already listed my favourite films from the year but I also wanted to take the time to highlight some of the best Production Design to come out of 2023 – of the films I’ve seen so far, of course. So here are 5 of my favourites…
Here is, what currently stands as, my favourite film of 2023. I’m pretty indecisive about the ordering here but it is worth noting that I am basing this on my personal enjoyment of the films. Also please bear in mind I still have lots on my watch list.
As our (non-existent) summer has come to an end and the air is growing colder, here is a list of films to welcome in the cosiest season of all, autumn! These are my go-to’s before diving into horror and Halloween movies.
Tim Burtons is a filmmaker with a very distinctive style. There are design elements and themes that are found across his whole portfolio of work. With Alice in Wonderland, it’s particularly interesting to see how he transforms such a well-known and iconic story into something of his own.
My set design of choice this week is the music video for Olivia Rodrigo’s latest single ‘Vampire’. Directed by Patra Collins and production designed by Nicholas des Jardins.
I’m starting with ‘Tick, Tick… Boom!’ as I watched this recently for the second time since it was first released to Netflix in 2021. Directed by Lin Manuel Miranda and Production Design by Alex DiGerlando.
