TIFF Notes Summary Part I The films and media I suggested during TIFF22 present elements which piece together to describe a conceptual through line. They’re not tidy or concise. Relying on the audience’s foreknowledge of context is a habit difficult…
Film Recommendation / Blade Runner: 2049 (2017) ‘Blade Runner:2049,‘ is perfect. It’s got everything I’ve been writing about. Whether that’s due to the nature of film storytelling, an inherent quality of human narrative, or my own knack for blending synchronicity…
Film Recommendation / Reprisal (2019) x TOTDY (2019) ‘Reprisal,‘ and ‘Too Old to Die Young.‘ These series are included because I’m making eleven posts instead of ten. This has been a kind of ‘winging it’ effort, of necessity, and I…

Film Recommendation / The Vanishing Lady (1950) – Escape This is another departure from film as a medium. You’ll forgive me. Storytelling elements, even when flawed, have a lot in common across mediums. Media? Mediums? Medium? Whatever. ‘The Vanishing Lady,‘…
Film Recommendation / Lions for Lambs (2007) ‘Lions For Lambs,‘ is a film which only really comes into its own when viewed according to a process. Up front it’s fairly simple. It’s when we grab hold of the film’s story…
Film Recommendation / YOU – Season One (2018) If you haven’t seen this series, you are doing yourself a disservice. It’s funny, and dark, and moving. It’s well written, and well made. Despite being a signal flare, a warning of…
