FilmGrab is possibly the best repertoire of cinema screenshots on the internet. The blog has been going for a long time now, meaning that it’s collection of beautiful cinematography is no longer just a great way to waste time, but a significant study into what cinematography means to a picture.
Anybody interested in framing, lighting, mise en scène and the analysis of visual storytelling can spend hours on this fantastic blog. Here’s a personal favourite: Geoffrey Unsworth and John Alcott’s work for Stanley Kubrick’s 2001: A Space Odyssey
Read Leonard Wheat’s online essays,”Misconceptions about 2001”& ”Fresh insights into 2001” if you don’t want to buy his 2000 book,”Kubrick’s 2001;A Triple Allegory”,showing all the characters and events are from Homer’s Odyssey and Nietzsche’s Thus Spoke Zarathustra-which also opens at dawn,ending with the sole survivor’s interrupted last supper!

Thank you for sharing images from the greatest film, and most unorthodox, ever made. My personal favorite.
This is still the best looking movie of all-time. Strange to think that on a purely aesthetic level, film has already peaked in 1968.
Probably the most beautiful slideshow I’ve ever seen. I’d forgotten just how much Kubrick understood mise-en-scene. We need more directors with this sense of beauty now.
