Only real exception is Talk Radio, most of which I can very easily credit to Eric Bogosian.
JFK strikes me as typically fevered Stone. If that's your kinda thing, the film certainly gives you a lot of it. The queer stuff is somehow even more grotesque than fellow GLADD-targets Silence of the Lambs and Basic Instinct.

Sorry, hon, but the film isn't as fevered and unhinged as the ILX thread I guess you haven't read (and you should).

I'll curl up with it tonight once I'm done work for the day.

Which means that a movie that definitely shouldn't have won best picture is also, unfortunately, the best movie in this lineup

I just couldn't find an entry point in any of it; struck me as the kind of late '80s drab nothingness

My fave Jim Sheridan DDL flick is maybe The Boxer, which is a solidly unpretentious irish troubles movie and has a pretty beautiful soundtrack. It's also maybe the most normie DDL role, very unflashy. But he's great. As is Emily Watson.

I've hated all the pre-Code Unknown Hanekes I've seen but haven't yet tried Seventh Continent. Is it worth it if I deeply loathe Funny Games and Benny's Video?

Xxp You can understand why it's impossible for DDL to resist her and why she'd go against the bullshit domestic rules the IRA had.

I would say give it a go. Its got a lot of warmth towards it's characters compared to Funny Games.
