Five Great Short Films Inside Longer Ones They’re like Russian dolls, but cinematic. by Rick Paulas There are plenty of perfect sequences in movies: masterfully edited moments that stand out from the rest of the larger work. The shower scene in Psycho. The inter-cutting between baptism and massacre towards the end of The Godfather. The spooky CGI-laden orgy scene in Eyes Wide Shut. 5. Perhaps this scene made more sense in the grand scheme of Mulholland Drive’s initial production shoot, when it was supposed to be a TV pilot — maybe David Lynch’s plan was to have an entire series arc for the two characters in the diner. 4. You’re an hour or so into standard quickly-paced, dialogue-heavy Aaron Sorkin fare when all of a sudden, out of nowhere, David Fincher starts blasting an industrialized version of “In the Hall of the Mountain King” and unleashes this slickly-edited, dramatically-shot two-minute rowing race. 3. 2. 1.
