This film has some particularly fine acting in the lead role, one really great monologue, and some very good scenes, but it presents no good reason to remake IKIRU. It might have been more interesting to update the film to contemporary times.
Just a spectacular film with tremendous acting, cinematography and editing. Morley’s best film yet.
This is the first movie I saw that inspired my career. Even then, it took a few more years (the mid-1980s) until the Brattle Cinema (Richard Friedman was the booker, I believe?) begged to borrow a print from Janus Films and Kino International, and billed it as "the most romantic film of all time." Lines formed around the block, and then again when the Film Forum played it a few months later and its reputation was established. This was a…
One of my favorite films of all time. The comedic timing of the entire cast is impeccable. Brigham lives! Well, maybe not…

I was able to watch this film as part of the collection entitled "Short Films by Ayoka Chenzira," which was included with the recent physical media restoration of Alma's Rainbow. It is with this film in particular that it has become incredibly clear to me Chenzira has a uniquely strong and commendable body of work.
All three of the films I've watched so far - Syvilla: They Dance to Her Drum (1979), Hair Piece (1984), and The Lure and the…
"I didn't like being an animal."
Winter Soldier is an agonizingly painful Vietnam War documentary that observes an unofficial war crimes tribunal organized by Vietnam Veterans Against the War. Over a hundred veterans provided testimonies, but the film was totally ignored by the American news media and stayed under the radar until a re-release in 2005. Apparently, the Nixon administration had tried to seek out evidence to discredit the testimonies provided by Vietnam Veterans Against the War in Winter Soldier.…
I've seen just about every Vietnam film/documentary there is to see, but this was unlike any of the others. This honestly will fuck you up. This shows America at its worst. It's infuriating, revolting and, at the same time, genuinely humanizing through discussions of suffering and trauma from dehumanization (I don't say that lightly). This isn't meant to try to cause forgiveness for those who shamefully committed said "atrocities." It is a vessel to help us understand, even if it…

#23 - Winter Soldier
There's an interesting set of comparisons between 1972's Winter Soldier and 1974's Hearts and Minds. The latter was widely celebrated from its opening release, with critics lauding its unflinching depiction of life on both sides of the Vietnam war, showcasing the sheer horrors that US soldiers and the Vietnamese population (not just Viet Cong troops) suffered at the hands of those masters of war, sat…
