Black Noise (2023)
Has it's moments
After watching The Black Noise, I found myself entertained despite the noticeable flaws in its plot. The film, while presenting a few narrative gaps that could be a distraction for some, managed to keep me engaged throughout its runtime.
What struck me most was the evident effort behind the production. The attention to detail in set design and the dynamic cinematography were hard to miss, reflecting the crew's dedication to crafting an immersive viewing experience. The performances added to this effect, with the cast delivering their roles with an energy that seemed to compensate for the weaker aspects of the script.
The plot, though not without its inconsistencies, was paced well enough to maintain interest. The film didn't seem to aim for serious critique but rather focused on providing an entertaining experience, which it did quite successfully. Overall, The Black Noise is a prime example of how a film can have its imperfections and still offer a fun, engaging watch, especially when the hard work and passion behind it are so apparent.
The Red Shoes: 75th Anniversary (2023)
A Deep Dive into Theater and Film
This is a captivating and enlightening documentary that delves into the enduring impact of The Red Shoes, an iconic piece in both theater and film. What really sets this documentary apart are the contributions from Shannon Davidson and Ashley Shaw. Davidson, who takes on the role of Moira Shearer, and Shaw, who has performed in the ballet version of The Red Shoes, offer a wealth of personal experience and perspective.
This aspect of the documentary adds a significant layer of depth and makes it a compelling watch for anyone interested in the intersection of theater, film, and ballet. I loved it.
