Since I’ve been on a world tour, I hadn’t had the chance to watch it, but this morning, I finally got to see James Gunn’s “Superman.” It was good. It was neither dark nor stylish, cool or even “super.” The perspective of the audience—the distance and elevation—is different from the “Superman” we used to LOOK UP (into the sky) to. This film gently observes the human being Clark Kent and Superman as one and approaches him from the same human perspective. It’s a heartwarming “human” film. The movie itself wasn’t “punk,” but “Punkrocker” by Teddybears, with vocals by our very own Iggy Pop, played during the credits — that part was pure punk, and it was amazing.

Saw Robert Eggers’ latest film, “Nosferatu.” First time back at Cinema Chante in a while. Turns out it was June 1st—completely sold out. It felt like being in a dream the entire time, utterly spellbinding. As a fan of “Egga-chan (Robert Eggers, of course)” and of the classic Nosferatu (Dracula), I was completely satisfied. The worldbuilding, production design, costumes, lighting, the use of shadows and smoke, and the homage-style direction were all superb. Classic gothic horror can indeed be art.
