A wholesome, relatively traditional musical comedy from Ken Russell with a charming and skilled starring performance by Twiggy.

Fellini Satyricon 1969
A fanciful Rome of artifice and design hosts an ancient tale, with some modern revisions. In formal language to evoke the distant past characters vie for dominance, desires, and destruction. The ambition of the project is entrancing even when the result falls short.

Passing Strange 2009
Filming a stage play is a fool's game; you can't capture the power, intimacy and intensity of a great live show. Spike Lee played that fool's game and won. This is an amazing film.

Rocco and His Brothers 1960
There is a lot of great filmmaking in "Rocco and His Brothers" and some great acting but I remained unconvinced of the core principle of the film; that Rocco would sacrifice love, happiness, and the woman he loves for a brother who is selfish, brutal, hateful, destructive, and ungrateful. The movie asserts the primacy of family above all in the most despicable way.
