Living (2022)
Beautiful motion picture
Just saw Living at the Telluride Film Festival and it is brilliantly made, beautiful, poignant, in short, a perfect film. Sad, yes, but marvelously uplifting with impeccable performances, directing, writing, production design, sets, cinematography, and score. Bill Nighy was pitch perfect as was Aimee Lou Wood and the entire cast. Absolutely loved it and was deeply moved. I have not seen the original Kurosawa version yet, but this is so well done it can't possibly disappoint. Kudos to everyone who made this new version. It's also an intriguing slice of life look at post-war British life. This film will give you hope and give you a new lease on life. A must see, but bring some Kleenex along.
The Electrical Life of Louis Wain (2021)
Fantastic on every level
This is a beautiful, moving film with incredible performances all around, especially by Benedict Cumberbatch, who deserves an Oscar nomination at least. All the technical categories from directing, writing, production design, makeup and costumes, to cinematography, editing and music are all exemplary. A wonderful film.
Ford v Ferrari (2019)
Fantastic
Just saw F v F at the Telluride Film Festival and it is phenomenal. Perfect performances, incredible visuals and editing, immersive sound, and a riveting story. A real winner. Christian Bale lost 70 pounds Defoe the role and is a delight. Damon is spot on. Catriona Balfe is excellent. All the actors playing Ford executives are excellent as well. Masterful direction from James Mangold. A must see.
