And now, The High Note (2020), directed by Nisha Ganatra, starring Dakota Johnson, Tracee Ellis Ross, Kelvin Harrison Jr., Zoë Chao, Bill Pullman, Eddie Izzard, and Ice Cube. It's a #film about the music industry. Like most #films, it didn't make much box office during the pandemic, but I'm not going to hold that against it.
Jack Nicholson holds the screen well enough in Sean Penn's debut as a writer director.
It's a piece of depression porn that contains all the self indulgent beats and hokey dialogue you might expect from a first timer (so much introspection!).
Somebody - I’ve never really got on with Miranda July’s films but this short for the Miu Miu Women’s Series is fun and enjoyable. Maybe I’ll give her features a go again. Any recommendations?
House of Tolerance - I started this months ago and got sidetracked but watched it again when it popped up on MUBI. Adele Haenel stars in this look at the lives of women in a French brothel from their point of view. It looks great, yes, but is full of searing rage and despair. In the US it was called House of Pleasure, when, mostly for the women in the film, their indentured lives are full of anything but pleasure.
Almost Entirely a Slight Disaster - A dry, droll Turkish film about your young people in the country, all of whom we see crying alone, as they face hardships. It’s funny, though; think Roy Andersson or Ali Kaurismäki.
Challengers - The trailer made me think I’d hate this film but I read lots of reviews praising it, and went in open-minded and hopeful. First off, Zendaya is good. But the characters are inanely one-dimensional, it jumps around all over the place, Trent Reznor’s techno drowns out the dialogue, and the ‘shock’ ending is telegraphed miles out. And worst of all it’s just boring. The first hour would have been a spinning-newspaper headline in a 1930s film. And it’s got tennis in it. Ha, to make the tennis interesting Guadagnino uses every cliché, making it look like the camera’s in the ball, sticking a GoPro on the racquet, and those scenes end up being laughable. TL:DR I didn’t like it.
We have a new shorts cinema showing a rolling programme throughout the festival and we think it will be a great way to showcase the generative art world.
If you have something short (~1-15 mins) you'd like shown, please email your name, a title and a link to:
Je viens de regarder John Wick 3. Dans ma mémoire il était moins bien que les deux premiers, et effectivement je dois dire que le scénario présente quelques faiblesses selon moi. Heureusement qu'on ne vient pas pour le scénar.
J'enchaîne maintenant sur le 4 que je n'ai pas encore vu.
📽️ I discovered earlier that HISTORY OF THE OCCULT is available on #Kanopy, so I guess tonight's movie is settled.
(It's also on #Tubi for those of you who don't have Kanopy, but if you have a library card in the U.S., I beseech you to check and see if you can access their amazing library of #films.)
I finally finished Poor Things and, wouldn't you know, it grew on me. Or maybe it was just Emma Stone's amazing acting that finally reached me. There were some funny moments, some great cinematography (particularly when she and Max were walking down the lane and it showed each with the background leaves and tree kaleidoscope blurry), and even some touching moments.
