Cinematic Wonder plays at the New Jersey Film Festival Jim Haynes AV Concert

by Irene Fizer - published 2024-10-15

The opening shot of the planet Jupiter’s swirling rings of fire, in Anita LaBelle and Albert Gabriel Nigrin’s 2024 experimental film Ascension from the Disco Inferno, becomes deeply ominous in retrospect, as a vision of an uninhabitable, hellish orb.   As the film tracks the descent of two club girls into an infernal discotheque—seemingly located in the cavernous basement of an abandoned mall, and lit by a glittering disco ball that bathes the space in crimson-colored sparks—the two women are revealed to be modern-day maenads, i.e., female followers of Dionysus, in search of a mindless state of bliss summoned via the copious ingestion of liquor and rituals of ecstatic dance.

New Release Review - "A Different Man"

by Eric Hillis, TheMovieWaffler.com - published 2024-10-09

The initial conversation around Tom McCarthy's 2003 directorial debut The Station Agent was centred on why the filmmaker opted to cast a little person in the lead role when the part wasn't specifically tailored for such an actor. But in Peter Dinklage, McCarthy discovered a star, and Dinklage's performance was so striking that other filmmakers began writing little people into their scripts just to work with him. It wasn't long before Dinklage was being cast in roles that made no reference to his stature. Today, nobody bats an eyelid when Dinklage is cast in the sort of roles a little person would never have been considered for a couple of decades ago.
