While laying in bed with a migraine, I decided to revisit David Lean’s (best?) film: BRIEF ENCOUNTER.
Celia Johnson is so exquisite in this. A truly underrated performance that deserves more attention.

In 1973, Katharine Hepburn appeared on The Dick Cavett Show in one of her first and rare interviews during her career, which became a two-part interview.
Here, in one of my favorite interviews, Hepburn talks about #BOTD #DavidLean and working on one of my favorite films, SUMMERTIME (1955):
Happy Heavenly Birthday to #DavidLean. Visionary filmmaker whose epic storytelling & craftsmanship redefined cinema. Began his career as an editor & screenwriter, honing a precision and attention to detail that highlighted his directing style .🎬🎞️ #BOTD in 1908 #DavidLean #FilmSky
"Film is a dramatised reality and it is the director's job to make it appear real... an audience should not be conscious of technique."

The spanish railway crew takes a break on the set of Lawrence of Arabia in Andalusia.
Fun fact: the locomotive 130-2035 is still there, some of the sand has disappeared and vegetation has grown back over the buried beast. Due to its classification as a natural park, excavation is impossible. 🚂 🎬 #filmsky 🐪🌵 #spain #davidlean

#BriefEncounter at 80: why we’re still falling for #DavidLean ’s 1945 #romance
