2022

Berlin, Germany

Todd Field

Drama

What’s it all about: Cate Blanchett rips Gen Z a new one, then gets OK Boomer’ed in return. 

First Encounter: first viewing 

Prostitute Index: nil

Death By: cold, cold heart

Relics: #metoo downfalls being just for the boys

Hoops: social media as a handy plot device

Heartthrobs: Cate Blanchett, Nina Hoss

Pass/Fails the Test of Time: Bach

LoFi Magic: Cate Blanchett’s vivid anxiety dreams, the Berliner Philharmonie, Juilliard in one take

Words to live by: “Don’t be so eager to be offended.”

Makes me want to: visit Lincoln Center (or perhaps the Appel Room :) 

Candotti Take: “What a switch, this movie. It’s like a Radiohead song, it starts with guitar and ends with bells.” / “At least it’s not Tilda Swinton, she makes everything longer.”
