  1. Watched "Train Dreams" last night. 2023, director Clint Bentley. Based on the novella by Denis Johnson.

    I had avoided watching this film because I knew it would require my full emotional attention, and I wasn't sure I could give it that attention.

    Do not miss this film.

    This film is a poem. Let it speak to you.

    A film that shows a life lived with few words.

    (The life lived had few words. The film showing it has few words.)

    A film about loss and grief, among other things. The deepest loss, the deepest grief. Also about work, racism, integrity, friendship, all those things, each quietly allowed to show itself.

    A long, quiet, sad, life-affirming poem. An elegy.
