Excellent, yet again! I am friendly with Nick James, the former editor of Sight & Sound -- let me think about how I can reach out to him and "sell" you. I don't know what he's doing now, but maybe he can help you take the next step. I'll let you know.

Are you going to write about Godfather II? Thinking how much of that takes place outside, especially the street scenes in the early life of Vito. And Vito in both films is associated with the outdoors and Michael increasingly in darkened rooms…

It's already written! Great point about the lighting in Part II. The whole prequel/sequel structure allows us to compare Vito and Michael in real time, to see where Michael breaks away form his father and loses himself in ruthless violence
