Cantinflas (2014)
Under-rated superb film "Cantinflas"
This magnificent film in Spanish is in fact magnificent: well produced, directed, written, casted and acted. Cantinflas was uniquely gifted and giving in Mexico. Stumbling across "Charlie"? Similar they were anyway. So magical moment in life. I am properly rating this at 9 out of 10. It must be discovered with English sub-titles if needed. Discover it and fall in love with Mario and his Cantinflas; with his talent, love, and passion for art at its best and for justice. J. P. Cunningham.
Falling (2020)
Superb
Couldn't be better. Superbly conceived, produced, written, directed and casted by our Vigo. Unforgettable and possibly offensive to millions of viewers today. Great! Instead of going into details here ,I'll say how remarkable and notable this particular work by our Vigo is and always will be. A lil' long? Probably for many, but no. Appears to me to be superb impressionist writing, as I advised David Cornwell (John leCarre) years ago, and had him write me back, agreeing about his own work. I want to snail=mail write Vigo soon. Will find a way. Long ago, I wrote my classmate Mary Steenburgen by contacting first the CEO of THE ACADEMY. Water always finds a way. Jim.
The French Dispatch of the Liberty, Kansas Evening Sun (2021)
Unforgettable
This film is remarkable and unforgettable. Anderson is brilliant as writer and director. Seems influenced by Woody Allen? Yes, but notably different? 'Tis.
Green Book (2018)
The Old South, not so long ago
I'd never heard of the Green Book until this film was promoted in 2018. I grew up as son of a judge, who was son of a judge in rural county in NE Arkansas. Arkansas roots going back to 1873. My first short story focused on young man running away, knowing that he'd be hanged for rape that he hadn't done. Black. I know racism well both in The South and elsewhere as well. This film is perfect in every way. It offers info and insight through magnificent writing, production, direction, and acting focused on layered characters and story. Couldn't be betta'. Betta' 'n butta'. I luvit' I do. Author J.P. Cunningham
