Nah.
flake - pm it then.
Nah.
Along those lines, watched Phantom of the Paradise tonight. Yes, some of it has aged badly. But bits are still brilliant and it's just a riot to look at. I still recommend it.De Palma - Interview with Brian De Palma made by Noam Baumbach. Meh, just a bit bland, no conflict, no challenges to De Palma's opinions. If you are big fan of his films probably worth a watch. Frankly I've never been that blown away by his work.
Manhunt: Deadly Games. Second series after Manhunt: Unabomber, one of the best recent crime drama series imo.
Started it last night and already 5 episodes in. It's exciellent....about the bombing at the Atlanta Olympics and following investigation. Interesting to see a series focused on US domestic terrorism and inability of agencies to work together. Holding off in doing any reading about the case until I've finished it.
I've been working my way through Yellowstone about a ranch and various family relationships:
Its a pretty easy watch.
Cheers, I know of FFH but never seen it. It is on my list, but I want to watch Imitation of Life first. (Plus got a big backlog of MUBI films).redsquirrel, if you haven't already seen it, would be worth watching Far From Heaven, Todd Haynes' take on Sirk (kind of a companion piece to ATHA). I really like Sirk's films and am glad they were reappraised after being dismissed for a long time as 'women's pictures' .
That's on my list of things to watch so glad it was good. Sounds like I'd need to be in the right frame of mind for it though so thanks for the warning!The Nightingale on Netflix. Bloody, brutal, brilliant feminist-revisionist-anticolonialist rape & revenge tale set in 1820s Tasmania. Excellent - a tiny bit over-egged in places as you seem to plunge ever deeper from one circle of hell to another, but full of spiky, difficult, intelligent questions (more like interrogations really) about the old western/outback movie tropes, and about Australia's bloody history. An extremely gruelling watch (trigger warnings for - well, more or less everything) but not exploitative - and there are moments of real insight and maybe even beauty. Mostly well acted and looks a dream.
Thanks for suggesting this - I'm now midway through it. Tbh I was originally drawn to it due to its similarities with the recent Richard Jewel (dir by Clint Eastwood) film, but this goes into more depth. Loving it so far
I wasn't aware of the film until I started googling after watching the series. Is it worth seeing?
