3 things about Todd Haynes’ I’M NOT THERE
I’m Not There [2007] 1. Blanchett at a typewriter while the image of a black spider on a white background dissolves in and out. 2. The pseudo-Pete Seeger character grabbing an axe to cut the power to the amps. 3. Dylan … Continue reading
3 things About Steven Soderbergh’s THE GOOD GERMAN
The Good German [2006] 1. Blanchett’s face, a cracked Kabuki-like mask, “Why did you follow me?” 2. I can see why Tobey McGuire was cast, but he was too lightweight to be convincing. Even his sex scene was unconvincing, which … Continue reading

3 things about Victor Fleming’s DR. JEKYLL AND MR. HYDE
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde [1941] 1. Ingrid Bergman. Has never been more beautiful. Yet–and this is what floored me–there are certain scenes which are directly echoed in Blue Velvet: Isabella Rossellini standing in for her mom! “Yes, sir” and … Continue reading
