Ripley (2024)
Delicious slow and dark film noir
What i loved about this Ripley is how beautiful slow it is a times, building up the tension scene by scene. The sound, the light on the buildings, the pace is excellent
You luxuriate in its slowness at times ..
Andrew scot is tremendous as Thom Ripley
The entire cast to be fair is brilliant.
The attention to detail is incredible, invoking 60s Italy
To perfection
It brings something new as well as following the original books.,
It has a beautiful look to it, and Scot lets you see inside Ripley's head . Trying to make such a calculated predator of a human being sympathetic is difficult. But Scot shows Ripley's vulnerability as well as his calculated planing and detached psychopathic tendencies to perfection: Astounding piece of screen acting.
For me one of the best Netflix series i have seen
Lets hope we get a season two
I watched the entire first session in one go.
Tish (2023)
The truth will find away
Authentic and real Tish is a love letter from a daughter to her mother. But also a love letter to those forgotten and left on the scrapheap. The images she capture with her Olympus camera, that now hang in the Tate modern. Capture the working class world of the 70s and 80s Northeast like no other. Because Tish was born from the very soul of the places and people she photographed. From Capturing the soullessness of the phenomenally popular juvenile jazz bands of the time, regimented "FUN" for the working class kids! To the honesty and hope of the youth that was sadly betrayed by those in power.
There's a heartbreakingly moving moment where Tish's Daughter, Ella is captured as a child singing on an old recording made on a tape machine.
Twinkle Twinkle little star. The sound of a child's honestly, hope and innocent joy is there to hear. Tish is a beautifully made documentary.
