A great and insightful interview with Kevin Macdonald about his new documentary, High & Low — John Galliano, which does not sound like PR for Galliano's reputation and certainly not apologia for his vile anti-Semitic behavior back in the day.
At one point, Macdonald realizes Galliano is dealing with the documentary—over which he had no control—by making a fashion collection about being the subject of a documentary.
High & Low is streaming on Mubi.

Quote
Russell came in and took the character by the scruff of the neck. He totally understood what it could be. The thing about Russell is, that instead of doing that in a superficial Hollywood way, Russell just took that and said: 'Okay, I'm going to be eating chili dogs, I'm going to have the messiest apartment on earth, I'm going to be the nightmare you never want your daughter to go out with' and he created that. That's why he is a great actor. It's all in service to the character, and not many movie stars are like that.
Kevin Macdonald, on working with Russell Crowe on State of Play (2009)

W A T C H I N G
Saw it a few years ago. Wanted to watch it with my mom ever since.
Damn good movie. Speculative fiction about a WWIII, but with realism. Not some sci-fi mad max type of thing.
But it's a very emotionally heavy movie about civilian family caught up in a future world war. It's harrowing in that there have been instances of things that happen in the plot to real people and families in the real world wars in the past. Just lifted into a contemporary setting.
I never watched it with my dad for that reason. He witnessed things that were terribly unspeakable in his childhood in WWII. He lived with lifelong PTSD.
He could watch Soldier movies or action movies that were taking place in WWI & II, but I just didn't think this movie was safe for his mental wellness.
So if you've been in a war like in Ukraine, or you have family members that lived through a war as a civilian. I wouldn't recommend this film, or if you have PTSD from events like that.
It's not the imagery or violence, so much as the emotional weight of the characters and what they witness. Even some parts that are implied are almost more painful and heavy.
So be aware of that.
I mean it's a brilliant depiction. Really makes you think.
Just that I've been privy to my father's experiences, the movie caused me a bit of anxiety and light panic attack feelings. Like I'm edging toward a panic attack.
I just thought an FYI about it was important with the current state of affairs, and if I'm anxious from this movie then others might be.

State of Play (2009, Kevin Macdonald)
16/02/2024
State of Play is a 2009 film directed by Kevin Macdonald, based on the British BBC television miniseries of the same name.
In Washington, one night, a fleeing thief is killed by a man with a briefcase, who then also shoots a passerby on a bicycle who witnesses the story, who is hospitalized in coma. The following morning, a young woman, Sonia Baker, dies under a subway train: everyone thinks it's suicide; the young woman was the lover of MP Stephen Collins and was also his assistant.
In November 2007 Brad Pitt, initially cast in the role of the journalist, left the project due to disagreements and dissatisfaction with the script, and was replaced by Russell Crowe. Subsequently, due to delays in production, Edward Norton was forced to abandon the project due to commitments already made and was replaced, in the role of the politician, by Ben Affleck.

THE MAURITANIAN (2021) Grade: C+
Hooks you in quickly, 2nd act was slow. Not enough with the Benedict Cumberbatch character changing his mind. That was interesting. Needed more. Last 5 min or so felt rush.
