Another 2017 film, Mudbound, lives up to the quality of the novel. Well worth the 134 minutes of your life.

Saw this last night. It is very stylish, everything about it. It looks great. The acting was fantastic, especially the two older kids. Made me want to read the book, which I haven't read since the US-90s, again.
Also watched Clean with Adrien Brody. It's OK. Films about broody, solitary, "men with a past" saviour type characters have had their run at this point, IMO.
Nyt daily podcast did an episode about noah and the making of the film that was really good. I look forward to seeing it.
Clean sounds like a typical Adrien Broody flick.
I havent seen Barfly in ages ill have to give it another go. Factotum is one of my favorites that I watch every couple of years. I dont rewatch movies that often but for some reason this one always works for me. So many dark and funny lines.
Yeah he was on Fresh Air, too. I need to hear The Daily one.
Ha! Indeed. Adrien Broody, have not heard that but totally makes sense.
Barfly and Factotum are both good. I saw Barfly with my grandfather in a theater in NYC in 1987, I was 15. I'd never heard of Bukowski at the time but I knew of Rourke from previous films so I wanted to see it. Definitely left an impression on me.

Babylon - exhausting film. Had its moments and it wasnt bad per se' but 3:15 long and chaotic. def wait for the rental so you can pause it!
You mean this one?
Saw the billboards for that yesterday in Hollywood. Is it as good as this one?

Yes... I mixed the english and portuguese BR titles. lol.
1917 is also excellent, but the other one definitely holds its own. They're similar but also different... the Western Front one is more focused on... you guessed it, the frontlines... trench war. like, 3 million dead to advance 2 meters. lol.
