He delivers dialogue like he’s calming a jittery leopard.” On Psycho] "Much of the film’s significance is summed up in a single visual metaphor, making use again of eyes, occurring at the film’s focal point (the murder of Marion): the astonishing cut from the close-up of the water and blood spiralling down the drain, to the close-up of the eye of the dead girl, with the camera spiralling outward from it. It is as if we have emerged from the depths behind the eye, the round hole of the drain leading down into an apparently bottomless darkness, the potentialities for horror that lie in the depths of us all, and which have their source in sex, which the remainder of the film is devoted to sounding.”

I've had the (dis)pleasure of watching View From the Top so, as soon as I discovered that it was going to be the topic for Richard Ayoade's third book, I knew I had to read this book. It was nearly 15 years ago now but I am still haunted by that film. The horrible orange outfit that Gwyneth and the cringe-inducing singalong during the credits. The film was badly made, badly written, and badly acted. We laughed our way through it. Definitely not something you can easily forget. And don't get me started on the feminist issues that the film raises or we'll be here all night. Whatever I think about the film, I was super excited In May 2020, it was announced that Ayoade would host the 2020 British Academy Television Awards, [84] [85] which was held behind closed doors due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
