Pockets of Resistance
I don’t know about you, but I’m not yet ready to shift back into the normal movie year, just as the awards season hype train is taking off (see this week’s Billy Lynn’s Long Halftime Walk, the expansion of Moonlight and the slow rollout of Loving, to be followed by more big names once we pass Thanksgiving). Fortunately, there are a few films in small, brief runs that might help us cope with the coming age of devolution. The Northwest Film Forum has on Friday and Saturday Mauro Herce’s experimental documentary Dead Slow Ahead, about a container ship making its way from port to port and the men who work on it, dwarfed as they are by the size and sounds of machinery. The SIFF Uptown has two shows only of Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s Creepy, wherein the odd but seemingly nice enough guy next door turns out to be a totally unhinged nightmare of toxic patriarchy. The Sundance Cinemas continues its exclusive run of Kleber Mendonça Filho’s Aquarius, in which Sonia Braga obstinantly stands in the way of the destructive forces of real estate development. And in I Am Not Madame Bovary, at the Pacific Place, Fan Bingbing carries on a ten year war against the irrational laws and corrupt bureaucracy of the Chinese state, a system in which appearances are more important than truth.
