Counter Arts Film: October Writing Prompt

Black History Month is upon us! — First, a thank you! Last month, I introduced our new monthly prompting plan for the Film section. Each month, the plan is to explore a different country. We started with India, a country that I feel has a lively and active film community which can struggle to capture Western audiences. Thank you to all…

The Best of British Cinema: I, Daniel Blake (2016)

Ken Loach’s 2016 drama is incredibly poignant and important, capturing some of the U.K.’s biggest problems with tact and accuracy — It’s been strange to see how I, Daniel Blake’s reception has widened over the years since its release. I was actually too young to see the film in cinemas when it initially released, but did see it around the time of…

Review: ‘The Wonderful Story of Henry Sugar’ Is Radical

Wes Anderson’s new adaptation of Roald Dahl’s story is beautiful but Anderson’s style can be abrasive — Upon seeing, some months ago, that Wes Anderson was returning to the writing of Roald Dahl and adapting another of his stories, my excitement was palpable. Anderson’s previous adaptation of Dahl’s writing, Fantastic Mr. Fox (to be covered next Saturday in my current Wes Anderson retrospective!), is one of his…

Review: Evil Dead Rise Lacks Creativity

The latest Evil Dead film is disappointingly mediocre. — The first two Evil Dead films were two of the first horror films I ever truly latched onto. To be clear — I never took to the third film, Army of Darkness, very much at all. To me, that one sent the comedic side of the films too far and…

Re-ranking the Films of Christopher Nolan

In a post-Oppenheimer world, let’s return to Nolan’s full body of work — Following Oppenheimer’s release, it seems to be a great time to look back on director Christopher Nolan’s full filmography. From my least favourite to the film of Nolan’s that I think is the greatest, let’s go over each and every one of his twelve films. 12. Insomnia (2002)

The Films of Wes Anderson: The Darjeeling Limited (and Hotel Chevalier)

Wes Anderson’s fifth feature and second (public) short film show more emotional maturity than before — Two reviews in one this week! I had initially planned on potentially doing an extra week for this focus after all of Anderson’s feature length films had been reviewed. Instead, my DVD copy of The Darjeeling Limited came with Hotel Chevalier, so here we are. I had forgotten that Chevalier…

Review: MITYA — TUU

MITYA’s debut LP, TUU, is energetic and retro, but becomes predictable — MITYA is a psychedelic pop project by self taught Belgradian Mitya Burmistov. Burmistov is a majorly ambitious artist, working with music, documentary filmmaking and owning his own label (MITYA). That ambition is also seen in his music, which adventurously moves between styles and genres. Immediately, TUU is quite impressive. Its…

Review: ‘Vicenta’ is Solid and Political Animated Film-Making

This Argentine documentary, directed by Darío Doria, is of great political importance even if its delivery is flawed — Note: This review does contain discussion of sexual abuse, one of Vicenta’s main topics. Vicenta is a film far more complicated than its title would suggest. …
