TCM Classic Film Festival 2020: Special Home Edition: Part Three, by David Bax

Bette Davis doesn’t technically play the title role in William Wyler’s Jezebel (1938) because that’s not actually her character’s name (it’s Julie) but, come on, it’s totally the title role. We can tell she’s trouble from her hall of fame...

TCM Classic Film Festival 2020: Special Home Edition: Part Two, by David Bax

After viewing a decidedly fumbled (though enjoyable) “Good Neighbor” film the previous day with Neptune’s Daughter, it was nice to catch up with Night Flight (1933), a tribute to the South American airmail industry directed by the great Clarence Brown....

Sundance 2020: Minari, by David Bax

In 1980, Ronald Reagan campaigned heavily to America’s farmers, who were faltering after a decade of rising gas and oil prices and Cold War embargoes, promising to turn things around for them. But by 1985, the first year of Reagan’s...

Sundance 2020: Whirlybird, by David Bax

Of all the fascinating ground Matt Yoka’s Whirlybird covers, it is perhaps most crucially a transgender story. Even when it’s not directly about that, the fact of it is there every time one of the interviewees refers to the movie’s...
