‘Suddenly Something Clicked' Review: How to Make a Film Flow
When it comes to making a movie, directors have the big ideas, stars have the oversize salaries and studio executives have the loudly expressed opinions, but film editors know the most about process. They have to. In their often unheralded roles, editors are tasked not only with fashioning a story but discerning (and determining) a movie's rhythm, mood and emotion. Few editors have practiced the art as skillfully or intelligently as Walter Murch, whose work includes Francis Ford Coppola's 'The Conversation' (1974) and 'Apocalypse Now' (1979), Fred Zinnemann's 'Julia' (1977) and Anthony Minghella's 'The English Patient' (1996). He has also lent his ears to numerous productions as a widely acclaimed sound mixer and designer. For his efforts, he has been honored three times with Oscar wins. Mr. Murch, 82, is very articulate on his thoughts and theories about his trade. I have interviewed him on several occasions, including for a 2012 dual-profile of him and the director Philip Kaufman. He is the author or contributor to several books, the latest and best of which is 'Suddenly Something Clicked.' The author-editor's thoughtfulness, candor and wonkish attention to detail is on abundant display in the present volume, which is split into two sections—one on film editing, the other on sound design—but which is governed, throughout, by a rich, multidisciplinary density that at times feels free-associational. 'Theory mixes with experience, and practical tips jostle between metaphysics and neurology,' Mr. Murch writes. He offers extended exegeses on everything from the concept of 'persistence of vision' to the merits of standing up, rather than sitting down, at an editing machine.

A Creative Couple's 1920s Spanish-Style Home in L.A. Lists for $4.8 Million
David Hoffman and Jaime Kowal doled out $4 million for a century-old Los Angeles home in early 2023. The couple—he a comedic actor who stars as Doug alongside his trusty sidekick LiMu Emu in the Liberty Mutual Insurance commercials, and she a professional photographer and designer—have now decided to part ways with the Spanish Colonial Revival villa in a desirable enclave of Los Feliz, asking a dash under $4.8 million. Lauren Reichenberg, Daria Greenbaum, and Molly Kelly of Compass share the listing. Originally built in 1926 by Howard & Howard Architects and nestled on less than a quarter of an acre, the Normandie Avenue property was thoughtfully restored and modernized by the couple during their two-year tenure. Securely tucked away behind walls and gates, the creamy stucco and terracotta-roof structure has five bedrooms and four baths in roughly 3,500 square feet across three sun-drenched levels rife with refinished white oak floors, coved ceilings, arched doorways, casement windows, and vintage light fixtures.

Lists for $3 Million From the street, a brick walkway passes through a fountain-clad courtyard before emptying at a covered vestibule. The olive-hued front door opens into a living room anchored by a striking Batchelder fireplace. Beyond that is a kitchen outfitted with shaker-style cabinetry, an eat-in island, and top-tier appliances, as well as a dining and sitting area, a guest bedroom, and a full bath. Two upstairs en suite bedrooms include the primary suite, which features a tiled balcony offering up a picturesque view of the Griffith Observatory, dual walk-in closets, and a bath flaunting a marble soaking tub notched into a windowed and arched alcove. The lower level holds two additional bedrooms, one of which is currently set up as an office, plus a screening room, a den, and a sauna.

There's also an attached two-car garage resting behind a gated driveway out front. Though there's no word on why the pair has decided to sell, their departure seems bittersweet. 'For us, Normandie was a warm and magical home—one that welcomed in beautiful views of nature, the mountains, and the Griffith Observatory,' Hoffman and Kowal told Robb Report. 'Through every window and door, we were greeted with glimpses of iconic scenery, all while enjoying one of the most walkable neighborhoods and a truly special community.'Best of Robb Report The 10 Priciest Neighborhoods in America (And How They Got to Be That Way) In Pictures: Most Expensive Properties Click here to read the full article.
