So as a film lover I thought why not do a weekly mini-fest honoring not only the old but the new Directors. Those Directors whom have and still give us our pure 100% cine-fix in a modernized 6sec vine & 5min youtube world that would prefer a watered down, diluted, music video versions of film. A 1h30mim montage peice with film credits slapped on at the start and then at the end, the celluloid version of processed food.
The plan then is to choose a Director which I think is great (yes it is my opinion) every week and watch all their films if possible or alternatively as much as can be watched.
For this week we have the Director of one of my personal favorites – wait, scratch that – a few of my personal favorites. Mr. Alexander Payne. Not going to do a whole big write up because … Just go watch his films – because that’s why!
First film we look at!
Citizen Ruth!
Staring: Laura Dern / Soowsie Kurtz (another personal favorite) / Mary Kay Place & Bert Reynolds to name a few!
Go watch it and love it!
The next film goes up tomorrow.
