Parker’s film, loosely based in in point of fact, goes in behalf of the gut rather than the head in its assessment of Impenetrable South racism. When three public rights activists off from a small Mississippi metropolis in 1964, the FBI responds (two of the missing men were white) by sending in agents Dafoe and [...]
Four years after his cult classic “Days of Being Wild,” Hong Kong maverick stylist Wong Kar-wai trampolines back with “Chung King Express,” a quicksilver magical puzzle walk through the lives of a clump of young downtown loners. Hip pic, drenched in neo-’60s nostalgia, should adore cinephiles and prove an intriguing addition to the fest repertoire, [...]
Troy Hurtubise had a close encounter with a grizzly merit in the wilds of Canada, from which he escaped unhurt but decidedly affected. The affair changed his life, and he decided to construct a grizzly-proof suit to do “close-quarter” stand research. Filmmaker Peter Lynch paints an amusing and loving picturization of Troy and [...]
The complete type (39 minutes longer than the print originally released) ‘explains’ no more than the trim version, but at least Tarkovsky’s mysteries and enigmas are now intact. Rublev was a minor icon-painter of the early 1400s. Tarkovsky re-imagines him as a Christ-like cypher for the sufferings of a divided Russia under the Tartar invaders: [...]
