I can honestly say this week’s two choices are heavily influenced by the fact that I’ve just finished watching Severance - an excellent show created by Dan Erickson, and directed by Ben Stiller and Aoife McArdle, which I’m sure you’re all watching / have heard about. But these choices also come from a challenge / interest I’ve always had when it comes to films and how they’re sold. How can one image capture the overarching story and overriding theme of an entire feature film?
