The Bright Lights Film Journal has a couple of pieces by me in their latest issue, Cast Away and Ascenseur pour l'échafaud (Elevator to the Gallows), plus a brief take on Iron Man, from a few months back. The whole issue, not terribly safe for work, is here.
Cast Away, the Tom Hanks/Robert Zemeckis study in Pacific Island anomie, was a real surprise. Forrest Gump it ain’t. (That’s Tom, discovering fire, up on top.)
