“From Jean Seberg magazine” (1995)

At the same time, the visual essay of the actress of Mark Lappa Port, which is an effort behind the biography, cultural history, and the image of the movie screen, maintains the appearance of talking about her story in words. Mary Beth Heart, played by Mary Beth Heart, is the narrator of the movie, and in fact, a monology player with an amazing movie clip product for illustrations. Initially, Rappaport's movie explains how Hurt's Seberg chose her from her countless auditions to play Joan of Arc in “Saint JoAN” (1957). It looks like you're talking about a straight story of life. “The bad news was the movie,” says Severg. She reminds me that it is a curse that seems to be following the Joan of Arc movie. “It was the first time I burn in a crisis,” she says she talks about igniting as a set.

Severg is associated with the remaining period of the peak stard dam. Jean Luc Godard “out of breath” (1960), almost certainly gave her the most memorable role. She played schizophrenia in Robert Rossen's under scene “Lilith” (1964). The “Journal” Seaverg states that “Lilith” is “the most satisfying work experience”, but she seems to be worried that she is overlooked as a masculine perspective. Masu. SEBERG -or “SEBERG” is assumed that professional actors do not normally do the frequency of locking the eyes with a movie camera.

Rappaport quotes “Jean Seberg Story” in the credit “Jean Seberg Story”, which is a biographical bians by David Richards, but it is clear that his Severa is a channeling act at one point. 。 -Like history. One line of the movie compares the support of Severgu's Black Panthers with the frank advocacy of Jane Fonda's anti -Vietnamese war activities and Vanessa Red Grave's frank advocacy agency. Certainly, when Severg, who died in 40 in 1979, was talking about Fonda's workout video (“assuming a position to show Barbarella as a positive irritation”). It is clear that Severg's magazine is also clear. Progress act. Through the Severgu, duplicate port is kept in mind the double standards of history. (“Even Richard Nixon is a country that can reappear as a prominent elderly politician,” she says.

The visual quality of the clips that seem to be supplied from VideoTape appears to be poor today. It is especially painful to see the stunning cinemascope of Otto Preminger in the Bonjour Tristar, which has been trimmed for television. However, the insight of “From Jean Severg magazine” remains.

“David Lynch: The Art Life” (2017)

Stream at the maximum with the criterion channel. Rental on Amazon, Apple TV, Fandango at Home, Google Play.

David Lynch, who died earlier this month, actually plays himself in this documentary. This is a story of origin rather than an overview of a career. About the factors that formed a creative world of Lynch. “I had this idea of ​​drinking coffee, smoking cigarettes and drawing, and that's it,” Lynch says what it is like an artist. He talks about youthful impressions. “Maybe a little girl will come in, but it's basically an incredible happiness of working and living in that life.”

This movie often indicates that he is working on his paintings. His young daughter, Lula Boginia Lynch, is hanging. At one point, almost comically, he puts Angelo Badalamenti composition for her and bounces her back on his knees. It seems that the mixture of health and obstacles existed for lynchs from an early age. “I've never heard of my parents discussing anything,” he says. “They got along like a cool and microphone,” but dark clouds began to gather early. Lynch talked about when he was a kid, saw a naked woman, probably holding a bloody mouth, and walking out of the shadow and walking on the street. (This anecdote, which is often quoted as an inspiration for “Blue Velvet”, is not new for dedicated lynch, but it is still weird to hear Lynch.) The family moved from Aidaho to Virginia. I did it. It always looked like night. “

It was another artist and a friend's father, Bushnell Keiller, and provided an important spark. When he hears that the keyler is a painter, Lynch says, “I blew off all wiring. That's what I wanted to do from that moment.” He believes that the keys have given an important push for both their father and school education.

How much comes from the artist's heart, and how much does that mind come from how to interfere with life experience? As you explain that Lynch lives in Philadelphia, you may be paid to such annoying questions (at least at that time, he felt “thick, thick fear in the air”. His father remembers his terrifying time in his art experiment, and he should never have a child's sunshine (“I was afraid of me”). Lynch was known to hate explaining his art, but he was happy to explain his spirit for a sweet documentary.

“Black Box Diary” (2024)

Stream with Paramount+.

One of the five functions nominated for this year's best documentary Oscar, one of the most formal originals is the Black Box Diary directed by journalist Ito Island. The face of the #METOO movement in Japan. In the documentary, she records her own journalistic efforts to investigate the case, and records her personal and emotional fallouts of what happened to her. (She won a civil lawsuit in 2019.)

At one point, Ito talked about how the best way to revisit these events was from a kind of third person perspective. The film shows her in the process of completing the book “Black Box” published in the United States in 2021. 。 On the night when she was told that the attack had occurred, there was a terrible security camera video that was clearly dragged into the hotel in a semi -consciousness, and the researcher who first suggests taking the case seriously. There is sound at the same time.

However, as the title suggests, “Black Box Diary” is also a first -person movie. ITO contains videos that are emotionally vulnerable. She also has something that seems to be a legitimate delusion. (It is shown that she is looking for an apartment for eavesdropping.) And the film has a spotlight on how Japanese society has historically difficult to win women in sexual judicial cases. Masu. In the parliamentary video, the lawmakers question the reasons why the rape man was not arrested. “Please stop discussing private citizens in Congress,” says Chair. “We always talk about the citizens,” he answered.
