I still think this is the critical piece I'm most proud to have written. It's on Jules Dassin's heist masterpiece RIFIFI (1955), and I'd be honored if you read it. https://t.co/1XBxF6F7x0

Rififi was Dassin’s comeback film, his revenge fantasy film, a revenge not only on foes across the pond but on capitalism itself.

This feels very King Lear. Reading between the lines, it appears that Trump's underlings are becoming a little too obvious about their expectations of taking power during his rapid physical decline. You could already see it with how Stephen Miller is doing a ton of TV interviews
Trump: "I want my cabinet to behave like [Xi Jinping's staff]. I'm demanding that....I've never seen men so scared in their lives...JD doesn't behave like that. JD butts into conversations."

Here's my English review for the second highest-grossing Mexican movie of the year. Didn't like it one bit, but I go into why I watched it and mention some other Mexican movies worth checking out. Give it a read! And share if you liked it. https://t.co/siJitj8YQP

"When I get depressed by what is happening in the world around us I try to remember those scenes we filmed in the desert in 1970, in the faces of the young people in Punishment Park, in their commitment to another way of living..." - Peter Watkins (1935-2025) RIP
