A small announcement and another movie...

My cat lays pressed up next to my laptop and I think he just caused it to overheat.

I'm Not There

What an amazing movie. I like Bob Dylan's music, but I'm not an aficionado, still I walked away with an idea of the complexity of the man and of the history he lived through. I don't know much about technical film language, but the structure and methodology called to mind Jeanette Winterson for some reason. I think the non-linear storytelling, the pastiche, the character arcs that seemed individual but necessary in getting at the larger idea of the man, of his life. It was stunning to watch. I'm not sure this concept would have worked to represent anyone but Dylan. Cate Blanchett is a wonder in this film. I really don't want to over talk this...just go see the movie.

A final note...it is likely that since I have enjoyed, what?, five movies in a row? I predict the next movie I see will disappoint. No way I could go six for six. Lets hope I'm wrong. :-)
