How every film is hand-scored →

In the decadent Roaring Twenties, a beautiful woman engages in affairs with two men, playing them against each other.

Our read · Divine (1977) reads as a heavy, steady, inventive drama entry — measured in intensity, mid-stakes in scope, cold in temperature, nihilistic in outlook, with a strong directorial signature. Hand-scored on twelve axes of taste — mood, pacing, weirdness, hope, stakes, humour, reality, density, warmth, auteur, intensity, and era — with a derived palette drawn from its dominant cinematography.
