Alan reviews this gorgeously-rendered 2017 Todd Haynes film, which received a three-minute-long standing ovation when it was shown at the Cannes Film Festival.

Mr. Neutron is beguiled by the many flavors of Pacific Northwest pop music, as it infectiously invades his brain and heart with a mishmash of resplendent gravity and joy.

The Lone Reader takes aim at Henry Ford's incredible and futile effort to farm rubber trees and bring Midwestern small-town life to the Amazon jungle. A story of technological hubris and cultural arrogance, it's "Fordlandia," by Greg Grandin.

Music: "Tango," by Mischa Elman, Josef Bonime, I. Albeniz, Elman

A sweet love story set in 1970s Harlem. "Beale Street" features a hypnotically poetic environment, gorgeous cinematography, haunting music, exacting screenplay and incredible performances.

Alan Jacobson supplies "The Treatment".

Mr. Neutron searches his record closet for twang and bonyfidy country western stars from the Pacific Northwest.

Mr. Neutron is Ron Averill of Everett Public Library (WA)
