Dieser Film steht auch 35 Jahre später noch immer wie ein Monument über dem ganzen Genre des Westerns. Über drei Stunden, die 1990 gewirkt haben, wie ein Manifest der Entschleunigung gegen das zynische Actionkino der Reagan Ära. Und die sich zugleich wie eine große Geste der Wiedergutmachung angefühlt haben. Das Weltkino hat das als humanistische Sensation gefeiert. Sieben Oscars. Standing Ovations. Endlich Respekt für indigene Figuren im Mainstream. Doch Respekt ist leider nicht dasselbe wie eine Dekolonisierung des Blickes. (ARD, Wh.)

«"I often quote Graham Greene – 'the credit balance of the writer is his childhood' – and in that sense I was a millionaire."»
—David Cornwell, best known as John le Carré, before the BBC.

Graham Greene, too, was a spy, among other things.
(You have read _The Human Factor_ and _Our Man in Havana_, haven't you?)

And here is a fragment from John le Carré's _Smiley's People_, where Smiley finds Esterhase in his element as a shady art dealer.

SMILEY (examining the underside of a bronze statuette)
Toby, if this is a Degas, shouldn't it be numbered?

ESTERHASE
Degas, George... Degas is a very gray area.

Oh, and do read _The Looking-Glass War_.

I just stumbled upon "Wind River" with #ElisabethOlsen, #JeremyRenner & #GrahamGreene. How did I never heard of this one before? It's such a beautiful piece of storytelling and it has me crying quite a lot here (I blame the perimenopause for that though 😅).

What a gem of a movie! -

Mit #GrahamGreene (1904-1991) kommt der erste Klassiker in meiner Erkundung des Polit-Thrillers, von dem ich schon einige Bücher mit Vergnügen gelesen habe.

Greene ist auch ein besonderer Fall, weil er aus einer Familie von (teils sogar Doppel-)Spionen stammt und als "Linker Großschriftsteller" (Schwarz) selbst für die Krone Geheimdiensttätigkeiten ausgeübt hat - gegen ein hübsches Zubrot, versteht sich.

Ich bin mal gespannt, welchen Roman ich aus Schwarz' Portrait als grundlegend herausziehe.

Very thankful that’s over! Here’s the beloved and very dearly missed Oneida actor & activist Graham Greene with a very important commercial (https://youtu.be/j3QOM4JxZQo?si=cqj1dc8GjckwWz8R)
