K Goes To The Cinema

K Goes To The Cinema is a personal art project related to my love of films and cinema. Based on Instagram, it features digital illustrations inspired by the films I watch.

Why K Goes To The Cinema? I've always enjoyed watching movies (and tv series!) and I feel very inspired after watching them – this is why I decided to combine my love of conceptual illustration and films in a dedicated project.

🎬 1917 (2020 ~ Directed by Sam Mendes) ⏳ Duri 🎬 1917 (2020 ~ Directed by Sam Mendes) ⏳ During World War I, two British soldiers must cross over into enemy territory to deliver a message that could save 1,600 of their fellow comrades. Welcome back to my illustration series dedicated to the 2020 Oscars, #KDoesTheOscars at @KGoesToTheCinema. 1917 earned 10 nominations, including Best Picture, Best Cinematography, Best Director and Best Original Score. I could not wait to watch 1917 and was not disappointed. Such an intense, organic, incredible movie! I was on the edge of my seat for most of the time – and in awe of the single continuous shot. In my illustration I wanted to recreate the immersive, rough textured feeling of the film and I chose one of the most powerful scenes to represent it. It’s chaos and light and dark and fear and unknown and hope all mixed together. Have you seen 1917?
#Inktober 31: ripe. And here we are, at the end o #Inktober 31: ripe. And here we are, at the end of Inktober 2019. I’m closing this series with a sort of controversial illustration from the movie Call me by your name (2017), directed by Luca Guadagnino. Why do I call it controversial? If you have seen the film, you’ll remember a certain scene where young Elio uses a ripe peach to pleasure himself. This is also a pivotal scene where he surrenders to his feelings for Oliver – a powerful meaning symbolised by a peach. Being Italian, I’m also glad to be closing my Inktober with a movie from an Italian director. A little bonus: during the peach scene we hear a song in the background from a great Italian singer songwriter – Radio Varsavia by Franco Battiato. If you’re curious go and give it a listen, and I also recommend checking out the translated lyrics. I hope you enjoyed my movie illustrated journey, I know that I had a great time! #kdoesinktober #inktober2019 #kdesignsthings #kdoesillustration #ink #inkillustration #digitalillustration #callmebyyourname #peach #ripe #peachscene #francobattiato #radiovarsavia
#Inktober 30: catch. There’s this tense scene i #Inktober 30: catch. There’s this tense scene in Moonrise Kingdom (2012), directed by Wes Anderson, where the characters fall from the top of a church in the middle of a storm and are dangling from a rope. Luckily, today’s word “catch” comes in handy and the characters are caught and saved, brought back to safety and happiness. I love how Wes Anderson did that, and this is one of my Inktober illustrations with less details because I wanted to capture the rough atmosphere of the scene. #kdoesinktober #inktober2019 #kdesignsthings #kdoesillustration #ink #inkillustration #digitalillustration #catch #moonrisekingdom #wesanderson
#Inktober 29: injured. Oh, how I loved the film L #Inktober 29: injured. Oh, how I loved the film Lady Bird (2017), directed by Greta Gerwig! I really wanted to illustrate it for Inktober and I was glad to get the opportunity to do so with the word injured. Christine has a broken arm, which happens in an accident that symbolises the relationship with her mother, and goes through a series of experiences where she wants to adopt a new identity and a new sense of self. At the end, though, she goes back to her roots. Such a splendid directorial debut for Greta Gerwig. #kdoesinktober #inktober2019 #kdesignsthings #kdoesillustration #ink #inkillustration #digitalillustration #ladybird #injured #christine #gretagerwig
#Inktober 28: ride. The word ride made me think o #Inktober 28: ride. The word ride made me think of American Honey (2016), directed by Andrea Arnold. At the beginning of Inktober I illustrated another film by the same director (Fish Tank) and here I’ve almost come full circle. American Honey is about a long and messy ride in the US where Star, the main character, tries to find herself and looks for a deeper meaning. #kdoesinktober #inktober2019 #kdesignsthings #kdoesillustration #ink #inkillustration #digitalillustration #americanhoney #ride #star #andreaarnold
#Inktober 27: coat. The first time I watched Napo #Inktober 27: coat. The first time I watched Napoleon Dynamite (2004), directed by Jared Hess, I didn’t understand it and pretty much disliked it. When I watched a second time, a few years later, I was able to appreciate its geeky humour and its undercurrent of loneliness and disconnection. So, for the word coat today, here you have Napoleon Dynamite in his uncool suit. #kdoesinktober #inktober2019 #kdesignsthings #kdoesillustration #ink #inkillustration #digitalillustration #napoleondynamite
#Inktober 26: dark. After going to the cinema to #Inktober 26: dark. After going to the cinema to see Joker (2019), directed by Todd Phillips, I’ve been thinking about an apt illustration and I found a way to incorporate it in my Inktober challenge. I was totally struck by Joker – as you might know I am not much into superheroes, but I thoroughly savoured Joker and was gripped by his slow descent into madness. Joker is such a dark, dark character that makes me incredibly sad. Have you seen it yet? #kdoesinktober #inktober2019 #kdesignsthings #kdoesillustration #ink #inkillustration #digitalillustration #joker #thejoker #joaquinphoenix #batman
#Inktober 25: tasty. Ratatouille (2007), directed #Inktober 25: tasty. Ratatouille (2007), directed by Brad Bird, is the ultimate choice for the word tasty! Little rat Remy is the sweetest chef ever, in the beautiful setting of Paris – Ratatouille is a wonderful animated film that I could watch over and over. #kdoesinktober #inktober2019 #kdesignsthings #kdoesillustration #ink #inkillustration #digitalillustration #ratatouille #ratatouillefilm #ratatouillemovie
#Inktober 24: dizzy. Memento (2000), directed by #Inktober 24: dizzy. Memento (2000), directed by Christopher Nolan, is the movie I’ve chosen for the word dizzy. Leonard – the main character – suffers from a rare form of memory loss and is unable to store recent memories. Why dizzy? The film follows two different timelines, one in chronological order and one in reverse, and this forces the audience to sympathise with Leonard’s memory loss. #kdoesinktober #inktober2019 #kdesignsthings #kdoesillustration #ink #inkillustration #digitalillustration #memento #christophernolan
