Cinema 101

September 21, 2022September 20, 2022 Michael J. Casey

I guess you could say the low point arrived on March 27, 2022, with the broadcast of the 94th Academy Awards. No, the “slap heard ’round the world” wasn’t it—though that cast a pall over the proceedings, didn’t it?—but the … Continue reading Cinema 101

THE VESSEL

April 17, 2022March 21, 2022 Michael J. Casey

Shot on location in Puerto Rico, The Vessel is set in a town so ensconced in the aftermath of a tragedy the women wear only black. Ten years ago, a tidal wave struck the seaside village’s elementary school, killing all the children … Continue reading THE VESSEL

Written and directed by Terrence Malick, The Tree of Life—available on Blu-ray and DVD from The Criterion Collection—is a watershed moment in contemporary cinema.

Terrence Malick Retrospective

April 11, 2021April 10, 2021 Michael J. Casey

There comes a moment, nearly three-quarters through the abysmally dull and bizarre Deadhead Miles—starring Alan Arkin as a long-haul truck driver—where Arkin takes another driver aside to show him something in his cab. Curious, the driver peers into the truck and … Continue reading Terrence Malick Retrospective

A HIDDEN LIFE

April 4, 2021March 6, 2021 Michael J. Casey

Franz Jägerstätter’s arm would not rise. It couldn’t, not for Der Führer or any man, for that matter. His life belonged to the Lord. To the land. And his conviction condemned him to death at the hands of the Nazis … Continue reading A HIDDEN LIFE

This week in Film — THE TREE OF LIFE and other Palme d’Or winners

May 22, 2020May 21, 2020 Michael J. Casey

This weekend should be the conclusion of the 73rd Cannes Film Festival and the crowing of the new Palme d’Or, but it was not to be. A highly communicable virus had other plans, so we soldier on without one. Thankfully, … Continue reading This week in Film — THE TREE OF LIFE and other Palme d’Or winners

One of the best movies I saw at this year’s Telluride Film Festival was Terrence Malick’s A Hidden Life — a narrative based on the life of Franz Jägerstätter, an Austrian contentious objector who refused to raise right hand to … Continue reading This week in Film — OFFICIAL SECRETS
