A blurb about Saltburn.

Saltburn

This movie is not about gay this or gay that. It is about obsession. Believe me, I know where of I speak when it comes to college frat boy love affairs. There is a tricky line between love and hate.  It's not that difficult to understand.

 

Oliver, played by Barry Keoghan crosses that line deftly. 

Felix played by Jacob Elordi on the other hand...

A Blurb About Paris Blues (1961)

 Paris Blues (1961)

    I love this period of jazz and film just prior to when I was born in 1963. The end of Camelot was nearing. Hope sprang eternal.

     Paris Blues is very evocative of a certain time and place. Anything was possible. Ram (Paul Newman) is the self absorbed musician trying to make a name for himself in the music world. Eddie (Sidney Poiter) is the soulful musician who is just happy where he is. Connie (Diahann Carroll) and Lillian (Joanne Woodward) turn both of their lives upside down when they come to visit Paris as tourists.

     I know the word bromance didn't exist back then but there was a certain chemistry between Newman and Poitier on screen. I wish there could have been more back story about their collaboration.
