With Nothing to Say

More poem than film, here is a piece of art that cannot be watched, but rather experienced. It requires a complete abandonment of any conventional notion of what a film is and can be, and rather asks the viewer to just exist in the moment.

Michael Roemer’s groundbreaking first feature, sensitively shot by his close collaborator Robert M. Young, is a still-resonant expression of humanity in the face of virulent prejudice. Made at the height of the civil rights movement, NOTHING BUT A MAN reveals the toll of systemic racism through its honest portrait of a southern Black railroad worker (Ivan Dixon) confronting the daily challenges of discrimination and economic precarity, as he attempts to settle down with his new wife (jazz great Abbey Lincoln) and track down his father (Julius Harris). Admired by Malcolm X and now recognized as a landmark of American cinema, this tender film grounds its social critique in characters of unforgettable complexity and truth.

Nothing quite compares

Horror has long been a genre Andrew loved and I hated. Childhood trauma aside, this was the film, or rather the American remake of this film, that broke me. For well over a decade, I didn't watch a single film of horror. Today, we attempt to face those fears.

Like walking through Hell, without that warm feeling you get inside. A miserable experience, in a good way

Maybe the Coen brothers most underrated classic
