An intriguing blurb in J. Hoberman's list...
4. ON THE ROYAL ROAD: THE BURGHER KING (Elfriede Jelinek, Seagull Books)Nobel laureate Jelinek’s tragicomic satire, translated from German by Gitta Honegger, isn’t a movie, but it should be—a lengthy monologue delivered by the Muppet Miss Piggy, eyes bleeding à la Tiresias. Regarding the unnamed king: “He tells us that already earlier we thought like him that never thinks.”

As much as I enjoyed Summer of Soul (and take it on faith that Haynes' VU doc was great), I'm happy to see a non-music-centric doc cited.

The Mitchells vs. the Machines is a fun, ingenious, great-looking and quietly features a queer protagonist. Glad it won over any of the year's Disney offerings.

Watched "The Power of the Dog" last night. Maybe it was my COVID booster fogging up my head, but I found it almost too nuanced and subtle to follow. I did appreciate the performances and cinematography. Kirsten Dunst and Kodi Smit-McPhee were great. Jesses Plemons is always winning in schlub mode. Kind of made me want to rewatch season 2 of Fargo.
― bookmarkflaglink (Darin), Saturday, 4 December 2021 16:56 (two years ago) link
I had to warm up to it too. Once Campion establishes the characters, it gets goin'.

Yeah, the second half is def better.
