    Broke boys don't deserve Malick.

    Also, I found these in some issues of American Cinematography. Thought maybe you guys would be interested in them. Each issue usually contains a page written by the director or cinematographer. Here are ones from Refn, Inarritu, and PTA.

    Despite being a movie fan for years, I've never actually bought a poster so I'm no help here.

    Movies on my radar for May:
    May 6-
    A Bigger Splash (Luca Guadagnino), Captain America: Civil War (Russo Brothers), The Idol (Hany Abu-Assad)
    May 13- Dheepan (Jacques Audiard), High Rise (Ben Wheatley), The Lobster (Yorgos Lanthimos), Love and Friendship (Whit Stillman), Sunset Song (Terence Davies)
    May 20- The Nice Guys (Shane Black), Neighbors 2: Sorority Rising (Nicholas Stoller)
    May 27- Chevalier (Athina Rachel Tsangari), X-Men: Apocalypse (Bryan Singer)

    Shocked how much I liked Pompeii, so I wrote a piece on Vulgar Auteurism/Pompeii

    Review Posted at Aesthetics of the Mind

    Abstract:

    Paul W.S. Anderson rejects history and unapologetically creates a fictional story which constantly makes reference to its own artificiality. Affective images (emotionally affecting stills), saturated colours, and the hyperbolization of reality are features of its imaginative aesthetic, of a unique and auteur-driven vision of a fictional world: an artificial play which generates much genuine human emotion. Love is its content, from the love of Milo and Cassia to the brotherhood of Milo and Atticus. Hyperbole is its syntax, from the superhero-like Gladiators to the dramatic mise-en-scene full of orange fire and red blood. And whether Roman, countryman, slave, or master, all becomes one under the sun of a flaming f---ing volcano.

    90/100 - Amazing.

    Cannes starts tomorrow and I was once again not invited. Speaking of which, has anyone seen last year's winner, Dheepan? Was going to try to see it this week.

    Got to see Dheepan which is a sensitive, affecting portrait of refugees struggling to make it in a foreign land...until it suddenly takes an irreconcilable turn towards Taxi Driver. It was as if the writers felt that their naturalistic, well-performed tale didn't have enough dramatic heft on its own, so they decided to take a jarring turn towards something more fantastic. A shame as much of this is very strong.
