It's Scorsese and I particularly liked the ending, but I do wonder if there couldn't have been a bit more editing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ejp626 Posted November 11, 2023 Report Share Posted November 11, 2023 There is a Christian Petzold retrospective on at TIFF. I managed to snag the last ticket to Afire, his most recent and apparently quite uncharacteristic film. It's quite comic, mixed with darker themes. I liked it a lot, but not sure how deep I will get into his work if this one really is so different from his other films.

JSngry Posted November 12, 2023 Author Report Share Posted November 12, 2023 Excellent, except for a few shooting scenes that go on too long. But Van Cleef and Oates are in top form, and Forrest Tucker turns in a truly magnificent and garrulous performance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ejp626 Posted December 5, 2023 Report Share Posted December 5, 2023 The latest film from Studio Ghibli, The Boy and the Heron, comes out later this week. I'll probably try to catch it on Sunday, but if not, then the following week. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ejp626 Posted December 11, 2023 Report Share Posted December 11, 2023 Just back from The Boy and The Heron. Parts were really interesting. Someone in the audience at the end was loudly declaring that the internal logic and storytelling made no sense and she was deeply disappointed. I wasn't that dismayed, but it's not his best by far. My favorite is Howl's Moving Castle, though even that has a couple of weird gaps, papered over by "dream logic." I will say that I thought the book, How Do You Live?, would be far more prominent, based on some early discussions about the movie, but it is really not much more than a footnote.

ejp626 Posted December 15, 2023 Report Share Posted December 15, 2023 I just heard about American Fiction. It sounds pretty intriguing (about a Black English professor who decides to increase his book sales by writing a novel as if he were a homeboy). It should open in Toronto next Thurs., and I'll see about checking it out soon after that.

ejp626 Posted January 8 Report Share Posted January 8 Just saw Aki Kaurismäki's Fallen Leaves. On the whole I liked it, aside from the playing of alcoholism for laughs in a certain sense, plus the main character just deciding to stop drinking overnight and succeeding. I suppose this may happen in a very, very few cases, but this part of the plot didn't ring true for other reasons. I am likely to try to catch The Holdovers tomorrow. This is basically gone from the main theatres but is kicking around a few second-run theatres in Toronto.
