As Nick Roddick once wrote, Wim Wenders’ sense of movement is to “𝘵𝘳𝘢𝘷𝘦𝘭 𝘢𝘸𝘢𝘺 𝘧𝘳𝘰𝘮, 𝘯𝘰𝘵 𝘵𝘰𝘸𝘢𝘳𝘥”. Escapism has never looked so romantic. But that’s why 𝘗𝘢𝘳𝘪𝘴, 𝘛𝘦𝘹𝘢𝘴 (𝟷𝟿𝟾𝟺) works; simply, because it does not.
This is a James Gray extravaganza. A meticulously woven character study, harnessing melancholia to challenge an existential crisis.

Fincher’s American remake is a different beast entirely, taking a steelier approach that hosts an abundance of cinematic flair.
I’ll simply say that Nolan has added sci-fi elements to stories before. This is the first time he’s gone full cerebral sci-fi, and that’s my bread and butter.
Vertigo’s dense atmosphere does the film a lot of favours, made so visceral by the combined efforts of the performances, cinematography, and, perhaps most notably, Bernard Herrman’s fantastic, hypnotising score.
To integrate this act of self-destruction into a school comedy and disguise it as an implication of social association, it felt wrong. And I understand, that’s the entire purpose of Heathers.
