This is as good as editing gets

Descrizione:

A video essay about a memorable scene from “JFK” (1991), Oliver Stone’s masterpiece about Jim Garrison’s investigation of the Kennedy assassination and its multiple conspiracy theories. Pietro Scalia and Joe Hutshing won the Oscar of Best Film Editing for their unparalleled work in “JFK”, the greatest achievement in the art of montage since the silent era. Here I’ll analyze a 4‑minute scene featuring Joe Pesci’s character, Dave Ferrie, trying – and failing miserably – to deceive Jim (Kevin Costner) and his men Bill (Michael Rooker) and Lou (Jay O. Sanders).
