The Pressure of Being Legendary in Baz Luhrmann’s Elvis

November 30, 2022November 30, 2022 by M.C. Myers
Elvis

Luhrmann’s obsession with the image of Elvis creates an issue of authenticity. He makes people love the icon without believing in the man.

Sin (Il Peccato) – Holy Unhappiness

August 25, 2022 by M.C. Myers
Sin

Sin is a portrait of an artist in pain, with god-defying amounts of melancholy. Lovers of classic art cinema will enjoy this more than he enjoyed himself.

Locating Realism in The Revenant

November 28, 2022May 11, 2022 by M.C. Myers
The Revenant

The Revenant is a powerful statement on cinematic realism affected but not marred by its real toil. It’s old cinema made epic again.

First Man: Cultural Breakthrough

March 27, 2022December 16, 2021 by M.C. Myers
First Man Ryan Gosling

With First Man, Damien Chazelle takes us to space and still thinks the most important things are the ones we left behind. The best film of 2018.

Rocco

In Rocco, thematic duplicity is even more apparent in the disjunction between the film and its subject, the international porn “giant,” Rocco Siffredi.
