Book Review
SHORT ТАKE LAST FLAG FLYING Director: Richard Unklater Country/Distributor: USA, Amazon ?tudio? & Lionsgate Opening: November 3 Contemporary film culture agonizes over sussing out and defining the ...political content of every release, eager to slot it into the "correct" side of the right-left divide. An adaptation of a 2005 novel by Darryl Ponicsan, a sequel to his own 1970 The Last Detail (the inspiration for Hal Ashby's 1973 New Hollywood cornerstone), Linklater's film catches up with the three former Vietnam vet buddies (whose names have been changed from the original), unexpectedly reunited when Doc (Steve Carel I) enlists their aid in the grim task of helping to transport and bury his dead son, killed while on duty in Iraq.
The tale of an uptight English couple, played with winking aplomb by Hugh Grant and Kristin Scott Thomas, and their fateful encounter with a wheelchairbound novelist (Peter Coyote) and his sexy wife ...(Emmanuelle Seigner) on a cruise ship, alienated viewers, who became impatient with the movie's arch dialogue and implausible plot twists. (A Kino Lorber Blu-ray release, www.kinolorber.com.)-Leonard Quart The Landlord Hal Ashby's directorial debut is both of its time as a poignant yet funny social satire exploring complex racial relations, and ahead of its time in presenting the psychological impact of gentrification among those to be displaced. Using the same restored transfer as a prior region-locked Blu-ray, this disc features a thorough commentary by critic Nick Pinkerton, covering its "docufictional" aspects, the shooting style of cinematographer Douglas Slocombe, and its links to the work of Joseph Losey, via Baker and the invaluable editing skills of Reginald Beck.

Magazine Article
Rosenman took these ideas, which rejiggered the ear's entire relationship with scale and harmony, and introduced them into edgy Hollywood pictures like East of Eden, The Cobweb, Rebel Without a ...Cause, Edge of the City, The Rise and Fall of Legs Diamond, The Chapman Report, Fantastic Voyage, and Countdown. Though Rosenman was recognized with two back-to-back Oscars in the 1970s, the awards were pointedly and ironically not for original compositions but for arrangements of preexisting ones: the classical mix of Handel, Schubert, and Bach in Kubrick's Barry Lyndon (1975) and Woody Guthrie's ballads in Hal Ashby's Bound for Glory (1976). (In Minnelli's 1955 The Cobweb, the first Hollywood score totally dependent upon Schönbergian serialism, Rosenman found the most potent chamber for his Wall of Panic.) In Edge of the City, when Rosenman's horns go into their frenzied runs, they are not really capturing the emotion of Axel Nordmann, longshoreman and U.S. army deserter; or even of Cassavetes, revolutionary artist soon to break out; but of all who have tried to plaster their personas over in calm tones, not realizing that a terror is radiating outward.
