Baker's talent for directing kids and professionals in 21st century American neorealism is undeniable. But these films are generally deeply pessimistic.

The Manchurian Candidate 2004
A happy ending where Hillary Clinton and Anthony Weiner get popped. As good as the paranoid political genre gets since the 70s. Plays the hits, Colby drowning, Ambassador hotel, Carlyle Group. Slept on. Woke FBI is just a necessary evil.to get thisnpicture made. Denzel as always acts his ass off. Love Bruno Ganz. Perfect role for Jeffrey Wright. Wyclef soundtrack lol.

Inherent Vice 2014
Great adaptation, while its funny this is way more Chinatown than Big Lebowski. That's the beauty of Pynchon and his exploration of California. Its like Adorno's quote that fascism is stupid but serious.

Touchez Pas au Grisbi 1954
Why this film is incredible: key dramatic turning point in the second act and Gabin says to his pal, 'here sit down, have some bread and rillette, oh hey I've got a bottle, a friend from Nantes give it to me'. Then the get into matching pyjamas together and have sleep over. What can I say I love my culture. The stunt driving was incredible, proper shoot outs too. Also Gabin fucks with his suit on apparently. All about food, dames and hanging with your pals. Beautiful
