    UNDER THE INFLUENCE: “Midsommar,” directed by Ari Aster

    Ari Aster has not only proven himself to be a great director of horror (as he did so expertly in his 2018 feature debut “Hereditary”) but a great filmmaker as he takes his new film, “Midsommar” to the level of Art. According to Aster, a very bad breakup led to the creation of this spine-chilling nightmare, one made even more frightening due to the fact that it all takes place under the bright light of the sun. Our director gives us nowhere

    Chantal Akerman rising

    In this male-dominated business women filmmakers have always been too small a minority. There is progress being made but women’s voices deserve better recognition.

    Chantal Akerman was a founder of the art-of-turning-traditional-narrative-on-its-head school of filmmaking. This is evident in one of her finest works, 1975’s “Jeanne Dielman, 23 Qai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles.” This notable

    HBO’s “Deadwood” was a rather brilliant parable of corruption and violence that forever changed this country. The show’s now infamous “Deadwood Speak” (courtesy of the great David Milch) and its rich detail to character made it something truly unique.

    Fans were floored when the show was abruptly cancelled after season three and argued their favorite characters and s, at the expense of fluidity.

    On De Palma’s new murder mastery “Domino”

    Lite De Palma can still be good De Palma. “Domino” sees the master-filmmaker working with a lesser script yet coming out on top.

    The director had made clear his disgust with the making of this film, whose production at one point was in danger of being shut down because of money issues. De Palma still insists many crew members hadn’t been properly paid and says that this “was
