Who's that Knocking at My Door

Martin Scorsese already understood one fundamental thing at the beginning of his career. Film is a visual and auditory medium, but that doesn't mean they have to be in absolute harmony. Film doesn't have to capture reality as we perceive it with our own eyes and ears. Film has the ability to capture reality in a new, unconventional way. "Who's That Knocking at My Door" is a beautiful example of this. There are scenes where the visual component presents something, but the real sounds are completely eliminated and replaced with music. I know that this is nothing new in film, but Scorsese uses it in such a quantity and in such a place where another creator wouldn't dare. This demonstrates how he played with film, how he experimented and allowed himself more than others. He may have been searching in part, but it is precisely in this search that the beauty of his films lies. He always manages to surprise you with some technical element, a form that is not completely standard. More: http://www.filmovy-denik.cz/2013/03/kdo-to-klepe-na-moje-dvere-1967-70.html (10/04/2013)
