“Portrait of a Lady on Fire”, is a two-hour long, French film that won writer/director Céline Sciamma Best Screenplay at the Cannes Film Festival in 2019.

Originally titled Portrait de la jeune fille en feu—in this story, la jeune fille is a young woman, untested by the real world.

If you choose to see this film, expect to patiently soak up long cinematic takes of wonder and beauty. This is a film is for those who don’t mind reading subtitles and who are open to seeing two women grow in attraction to each other. It is “Rated R for some nudity and sexuality”.

Cinema Cindy Reviews: ‘The Gentlemen’

by

By CYNTHIA BIDDLECOMB
Los Alamos

“The Gentlemen” is the kind of crime caper where the audience is made to root for one criminal over another. There are many intriguing characters, whose roles soon become clear.

Their dialogue is fast and witty, though the F-word and C-word are used liberally. Twists and turns in the action will keep you glued to your seat. And, although there is obligatory violence, including execution by gun, the audience is not subjected to too much blood, and no gore.

Note: nearly all the characters are men, presumably because men are the most likely to run drug empires.

All that Read More
