Measuring Flicks

Ryan Gosling goes out strong with an Oscar-nominated turn as a crack-addicted middle-school teacher whose life is on the verge of absolute collapse, and whose only hope might be one of his pre-teen students…if only she can avoid a life selling crack on the street to scumbags like him. It’s a very Measuring Flicks Christmas Special with very special guest Cassandra Crose! It’s 2006’s…HALF NELSON.

Jeff Morgan’s Tour of the Masterworks continues with Chris Marker’s mind-exploding still-image picture experience La Jetée. It’s weird to cover something that is, essentially, the exact opposite of our wheelhouse: we do motion pictures. La Jetée is a, uh…hmm. “Non-motion picture”.

And one of the best we’ve ever seen.

The Kurosawa conversation expands into an examination of the pressures exerted by the online age on the art life. Jeff drops some wisdom, but only one drops his sword after the final draw…

Where has this flick been all our lives? From the director of The Crow, it’s the granddaddy of The Matrix. Gnostic philosophy in a timeless Neo-noire sci-fi occult package.
