A Visual Feast: A Celebration of the Cinematography of Hannibal

centaurianthropology:

I’ve been low-key around here about my growing infatuation with the television show ‘Hannibal.’  I had wanted to finish the show and really let it settle in my head before getting into it here, or all I would have been able to do was squee incoherently, because damn.  This show may be the best thing I’ve watched in years.  While other shows I watched stumbled or went through patches of seriously hinky storytelling, ‘Hannibal’ spent three seasons doing nothing but impressing me.

And what gorgeous seasons they were.  Honestly, this show might well be the most laboriously constructed, lovingly detailed, lavishly appointed show I’ve ever watched (and the fact that it has never been nominated for a single Emmy is a crime against television).  It’s art is effortless and strange in the way that few can pull off without feeling like it’s trying too hard.  If anything, I liken ‘Hannibal’ to ‘Twin Peaks’, only given license to be even more overtly surreal and horrifying. Even the violence (and there is a LOT of violence on ‘Hannibal’, to the point where even I found it unsettling at times, and I’ve participated in autopsies) is gorgeous.  Many wonderful pieces of meta have been written about the characters, and without doubt I love all of them.  They are all (except 3) absolutely horrible people, and I love every single one of them without exception.  And that’s a hell of a feat for a show to pull off.

But this post will focus on the visuals of the show than the character development.  I am especially interested in the way that the show blends hallucination, dream, and character revelation purely through visuals.  And to those of you wondering, yes, there will be some gore in this post.  I’ve not posted any of the spoilery gore or any of the stuff I don’t also find beautiful, but if blood is something you avoid, you may need to give this one a pass.  What can I say?  This is a horror show about a cannibal serial killer and a profiler who puts himself into killers’ shoes.  This was going to be a blood-soaked, gothic horror extravaganza if ever there was one.

If you’re still interested in seeing what’s got me so excited about this gorgeous, disturbing show, come on in past the cut and feast your eyes on the composition Hannibal.
