This week in film 🎞️ A favorite Hedda Gabler film version. Peter Greenaway does it again ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️. Unnerving flick about coping. Great nun performances.

This week in film: An epic historical drama. A shocking Clark & Korine partnership. Julie Walters for the win. A film that goes so deep it’s hard to keep your head above water.

Fave 4 Perfs: Dustin Hoffman, Chloë Sevigny, Janet Suzman, Julie Walters

Greenaway does it again! I found myself completely drawn into his world of the materialistic upper-class, where people have so much money they end up making the most outlandish requests just because they can.

Director: Peter Greenaway

Discovered the brilliant comedian Beverly “Pudgy” Wines yesterday. Compared to “Don Rickles” for her insult comedy. She was razor-sharp, quick and never missed a beat; I have no idea how she kept up!

Bold choices this week:
- Harmony Korine — brilliant filmmaker. Always disturbing, always real and always takes you on a journey.
- RWF’s last film. A visual feast.
- Delightful and hilarious. Every frame is a work of art.
- A crushing film.

Remembering the legendary and commanding Paul Scofield, intensely talented Oscar/Emmy/Tony-winning & Grammy-nominated actor, celebrated for his impeccable craft of Shakespearean and roles in THE TRAIN, A MAN FOR ALL SEASONS, A DELICATE BALANCE, QUIZ SHOW, ANNA KARENINA, and so much more.

Delightful and hilarious! Every frame is a work of art. Alec Guinness (and his co-star teeth), Katie Johnson and Peter Sellers chew the scenery. A treat for the senses in glorious Technicolor.

“First, they fascinate the fools. Then they muzzle the intelligent.”

Dead Man’s Wire for the win

- Michael Caine plays a ho
- RWF was very focused with this one
- What used to be a comedy has now become frightening
- Essence of 1970s response to a crisis event at a time only traditional media did the work of reporting

An absolute favorite.
My ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ review of THE MADNESS OF KING GEORGE boxd.it/cDL5fB

Sharp screenplay & deft performances balance biting satire of political intrigue with serious concerns of health & mental decline.

Laugh-out-loud funny & surprisingly empathetic. Gorgeously produced. Hawthorne & Mirren slay.

My theatre heart is full. I haven’t been to Broadway since 2019. Booked a flight and bought a few tickets today, including this adaptation that I’ve been dying to see 🎭
