STILL A CLASSIC


Following the Academy’s greatest injustice in its history, I started exploring Peter O’Toole’s filmography with its most famous movie, an epic historic spectacle.

Although filmed in the early ‘60s, ”Lawrence of Arabia” is still a masterpiece of directing, camera, action sequences and special effects, done the old fashioned way, 100% analogue.

Subject itself, as well as the acting are still persuasive and applicable on the Middle Eastern geo-political situation, although occasionally naïve by today’s standards.

”Lawrence of Arabia” is a true gem of old-school filming that can be a lesson for the corny uninventive CGI filmmakers of today.
