Lest We Forget

Splice Today 

It always struck me as strange that the quintessential New Year’s song—”Auld Lang Syne”—is what closes out the quintessential Christmas film, It’s a Wonderful Life. Thematically it makes sense: a celebration of friendships new and old, a threshold song of what's connected people and the relationships on their forward-feet. Capra’s film and the Robert Burns take on a Scottish folk song share a sentimentality. Capra’s film is one of people coming together, meant to be watched together, much as “Auld... Читать дальше...

McBride told The Associated Press that “there is so much joy... Читать дальше...

Monty Python’s Gem-Studded Dud

Splice Today 

Some of the funniest scenes ever filmed can be found in a movie that really isn’t fun. I mean Monty Python’s Life of Brian¸ the only Python film that makes me look at my watch. Perhaps exposure to the New Testament brings on preachiness. At any rate the boys had a big truth to announce, as opposed to a smaller truth they could explore. Announce their message they did, far too many times. Their whaling away at their chosen theme (“think for yourself”) recalls teetotalers who finally take a drink and find out why they shouldn’t.

The release and subsequent Academy Awards victory for Moonlight in 2016 ushered in a new American master in Barry Jenkins, the previously obscure writer-director whose debut film, Medicine for Melancholy, was underseen upon its initial release. Jenkins seemed primed to write the next chapter in the story of the black American experience, but his subsequent career has been frustratingly stagnant. Although Jenkins’ adaptation of the James Baldwin novel If Beale Street Could Talk was a masterpiece... Читать дальше...
