Films you've watched recently.

I mean I'm no populist, but it's won more awards than 99% of films. Plus an incredible cast, an amazing soundtrack and a good overarching story. Sure, it's American schmaltz but it's well-written and Hanks is the James Stewart of our time.
Ah James Stewart----"Rear Window" (and the wonderful Grace Kelly) phew.

"Can't Scorsese make a film without De Nero?"

With a Roman leader?
 
Here is the trailer for the film that Ms Baldy and I are watching for the first time on here together...https://www.imdb.com/title/tt0087843/
 
IIRC De Niro didn't appear in Scorsee's The Last Tempations of Christ. :Winking:
Why was the last temptation of Christ 1988 banned?


Because of the film's departures from the gospel narratives—and especially a brief scene wherein Jesus and Mary Magdalene consummate their marriage—several Christian groups organized vocal protests and boycotts of the film prior to and upon its release.

Not for me!

Can't say I liked the film much myself either..Much prefered Dennis Potter's TV film Son of Man. (incidentaaly I used to see DP with a few of his mates on the terraces at Craven Cottage. Also used to know his very attractive wife when I worked in Harrow in social work).

Saw Call Jane earlier in SC's cine de auteur season.Exceellent performance by Sigourney Weaver as a 1968 abortonist.Obvious propaganda for Roe v Wade in the US but still a decent enough film.
