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.”
