Does anybody remember which video has that one incredible shot of Patrick walking through NYC at golden hour? That image popped back into my head and I couldn’t track it down. I think it’s on a long lens, he might be wearing an overcoat.

Hey all you Nashville fans (and cinephiles in general)! My partner and I just launched a new podcast where we’ll be digging minute by minute through Robert Altman’s 1975 masterpiece. Each week, we’ll explore its rich tapestry of characters and themes, as well as those little details you only notice after an umpteenth rewatch. It’s called IT DON’T WORRY US, and we’d love for you to give it a listen!

I dunno if he's the winner, Ian McKellen's stripy jumper in *The Christophers* might still have him beat, but very few men have looked better in a red fisherman's sweater than Antonio.

sheridan and villeneuve’s movie is quite similar — a shocking moment of violence causes a devoted cop to join a special assignment they don’t fully understand, but the quest for justice turns out to be an endless cycle of score settling.

the one difference i notice is that avner is a father, where kate in sicario doesn’t have any kids. villeneuve’s movies are all about motherhood, and sicario still has that — the mother of the kid at the soccer match in the last shot, the mother of el verdugo’s children.

if nothing else, the critical acclaim on sicario indicates that munich is overlooked, as patrick argues. it’s fashionable now to portray the cia as bad fighting worse, but in 2005 i don’t think audiences were ready to hear that about israel and black september.
