Democracy Now (August 30, 2018) ["After progressive candidate Andrew Gillum pulled off a stunning upset in Florida’s Democratic primary for governor Tuesday, putting him on a path to become the state’s first African-American governor, he was attacked within hours by his Republican opponent—handpicked by Trump—who warned voters not to “monkey this up” by supporting Gillum. Even Fox said they they don’t condone his comments."]

Homan, Robert. "Think Different." The Boston Review (August 21, 2018) ["Apple recently became the first publicly traded American company to be valued at $1 trillion. It is also the world’s single greatest direct cause of inequality. This claim is not polemical, but statistical: Apple redistributes more wealth upward than any corporation or country on the planet."]
"‘Horror Implied, as Opposed to Explained… That’s Michael Mann’s Strength (Will)’—Manhunter." Cinephilia & Beyond (2018) [“Will Graham, the detective in Manhunter, finds himself trapped, stuck to some degree in madness and nightmare. It bores me to present the events of the story in a realist style. My approach instead is to conceptualize the elements of the plot, taking into consideration the various torments of the human spirit. My aim is to exteriorize the spiritual in the Expressionist manner, and this always leads me to reject realism. What drew me to the story was its connection to the essence of evil, which emerges in the process of dehumanization that leads a simple human being with no exceptional past to become a killer capable of the most terrible atrocities. And when the victims cease being human beings, they become morsels… bits of matter. I want to understand just what this is all about, and also something about dangerous psychopaths, as well as the influence of social context on the behavior of individuals, such as fascism, genocide. This was the theme I explored in The Keep, whose action is set during the Second World War."]
The Miseducation of Cameron Post (USA: Desiree Akhavan, 2018: 90 mins) "Based on the celebrated novel by Emily
M. Danforth, Akhavan’s second feature
follows the titular character (Chloë Grace
Moretz) in 1993 as she is sent to a gay conversion
therapy center after getting caught
with another girl on prom night. In the face
of intolerance and denial, Cameron meets
a group of fellow sinners, including amputee
stoner Jane (Sasha Lane) and her
friend Adam (Forrest Goodluck), a Lakota
Two-Spirit. Together, this group forms an
unlikely family with a will to fight. Akhavan
and Connor evoke the emotional layers of
Danforth’s novel with an effortless yet considered
attention to the spirit of the ’90s
and the audacious, moving performances
of the ensemble cast." -- "The Female Gaze" (2018)
