What Do We See When We Look at the Sky? “Koberidze’s film is my idea of why cinema exists.”
I have a new episode of my radio show, “The Music and the Movies,” this week: 70s Neo-Noir. We listen to the moods of Chinatown, The Long Goodbye, Night Moves, and other re-imaginings of noir. Produced by Voice of Vashon.
Also still up: movies and music and Paris.
Scarecrow Academy, the online discussion series presented by Scarecrow Video in Seattle, concludes its semester on “The Art in Noir: Film Noir and the Director,” on Saturday, 11/20, at 2 pm Pacific Time, with a conversation about Ivan Passer’s 1981 film Cutter’s Way. It’s free, via Zoom – join us, hmm? I intro the thing below:
Three vintage reviews posted this week at my other blog, What a Feeling!: Denys Arcand’s Jesus of Montreal, an arthouse hit from Canada by way of the gospels; Laszlo Pal’s Journey to Spirit Island, a kids’ adventure shot in the San Juan Islands; and Eric Weston’s The Iron Triangle, a Vietnam-from-the-North-perspective with Beau Bridges and Haing S. Ngor.
