Eggers captures the vampyr of ancient folklore, in a gothic drama/horror/fairytale that has no equivalent in modern fiction... The hallucinatory nature of the editing captures the Count's powers in ways no vampire fiction has even come close to. Lily Rose Depp said that she studied Adjani in Possession for her performance, and although that appears on screen, she gives a much more rich and nuanced performance that this suggests. The cinematography and use of custom build camera lenses really shines…
Burroughs, much like Ballard has had uncanny luck in being adapted by people who have an almost religious care and respect for his work... Their work are so timeless that they almost feel contemporary no matter when or how you encounter them... Luca Guadagnino surrounds himself with a near perfect team... Craig captures much of Burroughs idiosyncrasies, brings William Lee to life as both an incarnation of the author and a vehicle for the audience... Drew Starkey is nothing short…
An absolutely touching documentary about Arthur Russell... His life and times are recounted with care by the people who loved and admired him most. In a class of its own as far as music documentaries go... Mandatory viewing for fans, and I'd go so far as to recommend it for those who've yet to take a dive into his work: the context and depth it brings to said work will only amplify the already stunning nature of his output.
