Martin Scorsese narrates this tribute to Val Lewton, the producer of a series of memorable low-budget horror films for RKO Studios. Raised by his mother and his aunt, his films often included strong female characters who find themselves in difficult situations and who have to grow up quickly. He is best remembered for the horror films he made at RKO starting in 1940. Starting with only a title - his first was The Cat People - he would meticulously oversee every aspect of the film's completion. Although categorized as horror films, his films never showed a monster, leaving it all to the viewers imagination, assisted by music, mood and lighting.
'The Shadow of the Sun' draws upon Derek Jarmanâs interest with alchemical processes as a metaphor for reprocessing Super-8 film. Jarman once described filmâs union of light and matter as âan alchemical conjunctionâ and experimented throughout his career with creating dream symbolism through the superimposition of image and action. Originally called English Apocalypse, the filmâs final title is derived from a 17th Century alchemical text that used the phrase as a synonym for the philosopherâs stone â the highly sought substance that turns base metals into gold and silver. The film was intended as a step toward the idea of an ambient video, that like its musical counterpart, was designed to enhance an environment.
