Designed with sublime attention to detail
by regular David Lynch and Terrence Malick collaborator Jack Fisk; scored with nervy yet sweeping themes
by Jonny Greenwood; and photographed with exquisite tenderness
by Mihai Malaimare Jr., The
Master is the rare
modern film that
feels like the product of old studio craftsmanship.
The design of the book is both minimal and warm, which makes it
feel very much of the moment, but Kurashima was strongly influenced
by Hans Knuckel and Jurg Nanni's Seesaw (1994), also produced
by Swiss
masters of the
modern book, Lars Müller Publishers, which he says taught him about the sense of invisibility.
