It’s Oscars weekend, and with the spotlight firmly on Tinseltown, it’s a good week to be heading to the flicks.
This year’s awards are being dominated by some mighty movies we have previously hailed on these pages, and it’s nice to see the Academy agreeing with a few of our judgments .
With all this and more hitting the flicks this week, it’s time to simply get comfy and break out the popcorn. Let’s do this...In writer-director Ava DuVernay’s beguiling biographical drama, Pulitzer Prize-winning journalist Isabel Wilkerson delivers an empowering talk about her nonfiction book, Caste: The Origins Of Our Discontents.
Soon after, newspaper editor Amari Selvan encourages Isabel to listen to an emergency services call made by the man who fatally shot Trayvon Martin. Filmed on location in the American South, Berlin and Delhi, Origin is another masterful portrait of the multi-faceted human condition from DuVernay. From there, terror-filled nightmares for Jessica continue while the others in the house – husband Max and another stepdaughter Taylor – also start experiencing strange things.
Stephen Fry provides the voice of Leonardo Da Vinci in an educational stop-motion animated adventure based on events in the artist, engineer and scientist’s life. Alas, the French monarch firmly insists Leonardo should devote his time to creating a large statue in his honour to impress visiting dignitaries Emperor Charles V of Spain and King Henry VIII of England.
