There’s a certain molecular charge I get after watching a truly exciting film, and I rarely find myself feeling it these days. Modern cinema — particularly but not exclusively in America — has failed to rise to the present moment, politically, but also aesthetically and formally. The framing, blocking, and overall visual grammar have a condescending air, as if directors have surrendered to some insipid idea of who their audience is. And the stars? They barely gleam. But Black Bag is electrifying, with Soderbergh operating in his God mode — portraying highly competent people attempting to outwit one another in beautiful clothes, the light practically bending to their beauty and banter. It’s pure star power, delicious without an ounce of anything superfluous. The kind of production that reorients my gaze and opens up my heart to possibilities in life and cinema. Black Bag is a tremendous example that a film need not be making an explicit political point or obsessed with the political dimensions of its narrative to be worthwhile cinema. VULTURE MAG.

Quick note of thanks to all the Irish who showed up last night for our WAKING NED show. If you get the chance a trip to CELTIC CROSSROADS NW is a real treat.
