Hypnotic, really creepy scene from The Portrait of a Lady (directed by Jane Campion) with some great acting especially by Malkovich. Love the way the director uses a different camera angle when the character of Malkovich confesses his love to Nicole Kidman (2:09) as if a spirit (love?) is visiting them. The lush score is by Polish composer Wojciech Kilar (Dracula score — indeed the soundtrack would fit perfectly in a horror film!)

The last 2 mins (finale) of the epic and cinematic Shostakovich Symphony no.11, a work accessible even by those who think classical music is boring.
Big and mighty soundscape - you really think the conductor is possesed by the end of it!

“And Beauty is a form of Genius - is higher, indeed, than Genius, as it needs no explanation…People say sometimes that Beauty is only superficial. That may be so. But at least it is not so superficial as Thought is. To me, Beauty is the wonder of wonders. It is only shallow people who do nut judge by appearances. The true mystery of the world is the visible, not the invisible.”
Lord Henry Wotton addressing Dorian Gray, in Oscar Wilde’s The Picture of Dorian Gray.
