Sculpture and Prose: Ricky Gervais and 'Derek': a defence
http://edcrippscritic.blogspot.com/2013/04/ricky-gervais-and-derek-defence_18.html
A critic is a man who knows the way but can’t drive the car. (Kenneth Tynan). Thursday, 18 April 2013. Ricky Gervais and 'Derek': a defence. Is one of the great artistic works of the twenty-first century. It was the Waiting for Godot. Gervais and co-writer Stephen Merchant's follow-up, was a searing, complicated fable about fame, ambition and loyalty, and the sourest, sharpest satire of show-business since The Larry Sanders Show. The best since Extras, for what it's worth, is Lisa Kudrow's The Comeback.

Sculpture and Prose: The Master
http://edcrippscritic.blogspot.com/2012/11/the-master.html
A critic is a man who knows the way but can’t drive the car. (Kenneth Tynan). Tuesday, 27 November 2012. In 1996 with his debut Hard. A chamber-mooded, punchily performed crime drama. His follow-up Boogie Nights. A brash, bleak fantasia of lust and innocence lost. With its flawed grandiosity, dark Biblical tones and deadpan surrealism, Magnolia. 1999) is a cinematic. A broad-canvas parable seared with modern frustrations. Punch Drunk Love. The film hangs on the dynamic between. Farting and Hoffman warmly...

Sculpture and Prose: True Love
http://edcrippscritic.blogspot.com/2012/06/true-love.html
A critic is a man who knows the way but can’t drive the car. (Kenneth Tynan). Thursday, 21 June 2012. I don't tend to write about TV, but True Love. Is one of the finest pieces of British television of recent years and I want to spread the word. It is a really classy, bold, unusual take on a familiar subject, both more cinematic and more literary than one might expect from a BBC One drama (though it is produced by hallowed film production company Working Title). Over five episodes, True Love. The structu...

A critic is a man who knows the way but can’t drive the car. (Kenneth Tynan). Tuesday, 31 January 2012. Alexander Payne (along with Wes Anderson, Paul Thomas Anderson and Todd Haynes) is one of the few American filmmakers still able to make sophisticated, distinctive, independent-minded films. Payne harks back to a more intelligent, artistically rigorous. The New Hollywood of Five Easy Pieces. And The Last Picture Show. He is the F.

Sculpture and Prose: The Great Gatsby

A critic is a man who knows the way but can’t drive the car. (Kenneth Tynan). Friday, 31 May 2013. In my younger and more vulnerable years a friend gave me some advice that I've been turning over in my mind ever since. Box set. Nobody gives a toss if a scene reminds you of Béla Tarr. Or if a tracking shot is “so Nuri Bilge Ceylan. 8221; It’s Baz Lurhmann, for fuck’s sake! I wonder if it’s one of those books, like On The Road. Or Camus’ The. And the Machine, Lana del Rey and The XX): there’s a parti...

Sculpture and Prose: Moonrise Kingdom
http://edcrippscritic.blogspot.com/2012/05/moonrise-kingdom.html
A critic is a man who knows the way but can’t drive the car. (Kenneth Tynan). Tuesday, 29 May 2012. Why did she do it? I love Wes Anderson: the neo-Nouvelle Vague swagger, the precocious children, the middle-age ennui, the arch dialogue, the symmetrical compositions, the literary conceits (diaries, letters, books, chapter headings, narrators.). His debut. 1996), now a cult classic, is a Salingerian tour-de-force, an off-kilter caper film with lovely breakthrough performances from the. At times, it seems ...

Sculpture and Prose: Laughter in the Dark
http://edcrippscritic.blogspot.com/2012/09/laughter-in-dark.html
A critic is a man who knows the way but can’t drive the car. (Kenneth Tynan). Thursday, 27 September 2012. Laughter in the Dark. I went to see. Has its mildly funny moments, especially with old Rylance pantomiming to the front row, but it was telling which bits made her laugh: any vague mention of key plot or thematic buzzwords ('The Tower', Bosworth, a red rose, boars,. Audience) and those who preach and preen in art galleries. Is it just me? Am I a grumpy git? Was on the other night: I watched some of ...
