A challenging watch
No English subtitles. So I pulled up a translation app on my phone. Held it up to the tv speaker. The app did a live translation
It wasn't the best translation, but I got the gist 😆

ONNENPOTKU (1936)
"A Stroke of Luck"
Glory Leppänen. First woman to direct a Finnish feature. Her only film
She has a theatre background. The film feels a bit stage-like
A creaky melodrama. Business, romance, stolen money but revealing insights into the Finnish recession

I have now watched 1,000 films in my 2022 Sight & Sound new watch project
There are over 4,000 films on that greatest films list, but I wanted to focus on the ones I hadn't seen
Still many more great movies to watch. Hopefully I'll be done by 2032!

MERRILY WE GO TO HELL (1932)
Dorothy Arzner directs
Sylvia Sidney and Frederic March star. Marriage on the rocks and "on the rocks" (alcohol issues)

PARIS, TEXAS (1984)

FLASHPOINT (1984)
* Watch 3
Gimme some Texas noir, Kris Kristofferson and Treat Williams, Kurtwood Smith in asshole mode, a JFK conspiracy, and Tangerine Dream
A movie I saw on early video cassette. Kinda stuck with me
Ebert despises the ending

SPALDING GRAY'S MAP OF L.A. (1984)
Gray comes to L.A.
A mix of monologue and travelogue
Amidst a backdrop of cars, freeways, sun, and pools, I felt the piece was about Gray working out the fate of his mother
Even with lo-fi video, Gray's storytelling skills shine through

BEFORE STONEWALL (1984)
Highly watchable doc on the history of being gay in America
Not a complete picture, but it doesn't need to be
People speak their truths
Fascinating discussions on the different scenes and sub-scenes
Gay soldiers in WW2 was an illuminating segment

A SOLDIER'S STORY (1984)
* Watch 3 or 4
I first saw this as a kid in the theater. The concept of internalized racism was new to me
Many great young actors (Denzel!) and a powerhouse Caesar
Solid Jewison commentary. I learned Herbie Hancock improvised the score while watching a cut

I would do 5 film units
More organized and more brain thinking. More fun?

QT in Cinema Spec calls Carroll O' Connor "terrific" and Borgnine a "braying donkey". True!
