Wit (2001, Mike Nichols) A lit professor endures the full cycle of chemotherapy and dies. Not an easy watch. But, as a wise man once said, if it's easy it doesn't count. Based on the play by Margaret Edson. Emma Thompson is superb. Streamer.

It's all about the journey, right?



Spy Who Came In From The Cold (1965, Martin Ritt) Excellent Cold War espionage yarn based on (recently deceased) John le Carré's novel of the same name. A talking heads flick, for the most part, the film (anyway) is an intriguing character study that is served very well by Richard Burton. The Cold War atmosphere is wonderfully conveyed. Really brilliant camerawork by Oswald Morris. Makes the movie (imo).

There Was A Crooked Man (1970, Joseph Mankiewicz) Think it was Auden who said The desires of the heart is as crooked as corkscrews. This is a Western by one of the most literate directors to ever work in Hollywood. Why people continually expect John Ford or Sergio Leone melodramas baffles me. See Mel Brooks' Blazing Saddles for straight-up buffoonery. This is egghead territory.

The Rose (1979, Mark Rydell)
Thin rock star melodrama; something like a memorial to the late, great blues singer, Janis Joplin. Music makes it, of course. Bette Midler was never better.

After a friend repeatedly recommended the film for years I finally picked up a copy of Conny Plank - The Potential Of Noise. An instant favorite. Also found a playlist of all of the film's featured recordings. I was absolutely floored to learn that Plank produced Freur's debut LP, Doot Doot - one of my all-time favorite records. I have many of Plank's produced works on wax but the film inspired an even greater appreciation and awareness of his unparalleled influence on the kosmische Musik scene.

Highly recommended.
