The History of Sound, The Art of Listening
The History of Sound is being sold as a World War I drama, but honestly, the war is mostly the studio’s way of tricking straight men into buying tickets to a queer folk-music romance. The trenches are off-screen; what we get instead is something much more interesting: a film about how we record each other – on wax, on paper, in memory – and how those recordings lie, distort and occasionally save us.

Revisiting The Grinch Who Stole Christmas – A Capitalist Fable in Green
The Grinch Who Stole Christmas—the holiday classic that sneaks in some biting social commentary under a thick layer of festive fluff, Jim Carrey’s rubber-faced antics and the unmistakable narration from everyone’s favourite Hannibal Lecter, Anthony Hopkins. On the surface, it’s a whimsical tale of a misanthropic green hermit who learns the value of community. But rewatch it as an adult, and you’ll find it’s not so much a heartwarming Christmas movie as it is a darkly funny ex
