INFAMOUS SECOND SON PAPER POWERS SERIES

The real knockout is the cinematography by Ari Wegner (вЂњLady MacbethвЂќ), which employs ingenious framing devices to showcase the sumptuous beauty of the golden northern plains. Savage, who was closeted at the time the novel was published, wrote it from his experiences growing up on a cattle ranch.The cast is impressive, most notably Cumberbatch, known mostly for his cerebral roles as Sherlock Holmes and вЂњDoctor StrangeвЂќ (2016), is unexpectedly brash and imposing here, and Smit-McPhee, the boy in Cormac McCarthyвЂ™s вЂњThe RoadвЂќ (2009), is vulnerable but with a steely resourcefulness. George gives wide deference to PhilвЂ™s gruff, cutting demeanor. George weds a single mother named Rose (Kirsten Dunst) and at first it seems like a happy union, but PhilвЂ™s harping on Rose triggers her to drink to escape his quiet cruelty, and he bullies her effeminate son Peter (Kodi Smit-McPhee). Soft-hearted George handles the business end, while Phil manages the cowhands with a maniacal swagger. The settingвЂ™s Montana in 1925, with the Burbank brothers Phil (Benedict Cumberbatch, вЂњThe Electric Life of Louis WainвЂќ) and George (Plemons, вЂњIвЂ™m thinking of Ending ThingsвЂќ) running a prosperous cattle ranch. Jane Campion, the director of вЂњSweetieвЂќ (1989) and вЂњThe PianoвЂќ (1993), who hasnвЂ™t made a feature film since 2009 (the Keats biopic вЂњBright StarвЂќ), returns to the big screen with this fabulous-looking Western based on the 1967 novel by Thomas Savage. In theaters and streaming вЂThe Power of the DogвЂ™ (2021) Note: The BrattleвЂ™s Covid policy requires proof of vaccination or a recent negative test result for admittance. Thursday night brings a 25th anniversary showing of the Coen brotherвЂ™s 1996 classic вЂњFargo,вЂќ and Friday and Saturday is on to вЂњLetвЂ™s Hear it for 1984вЂќ with Wes CravenвЂ™s вЂњA Nightmare on Elm StreetвЂќ and the Eddie Murphy comedy вЂњBeverly Hills Cop. In the late slot for вЂњWeird WednesdaysвЂќ is вЂњDark Star,вЂќ the gloriously lo-fi 1974 outer space debut from вЂњHalloweenвЂќ (1978) director John Carpenter. Wednesday, The Brattle screens вЂњMemories of a Murder,вЂќ the second feature from Academy Award-winning director Bong Joon-ho (вЂњThe Host,вЂќ вЂњParasiteвЂќ), a true-crime rewind of the first serial-killer case in Korea.
