November Movie #6: Maborosi (1995). A gorgeously rendered and deeply affecting portrait of absence and isolation.

November Movie #5: The Beat That My Heart Skipped (2005). Such an ecstatic and terrifying feeling to discover that a possibility you once believed closed to you suddenly—by sheer chance—reveals itself to be open once again. An exquisite piano thriller.

November Movie #4: Night of the Juggler (1980). A racist kidnapper with mommy issues. A New York so gritty you can feel it in your teeth. And an unstoppable James Brolin. The action never lets up.

If I could get my hands on a single movie prop it might very well be the hamster puppet from The Nutty Professor (1996)

Third November Movie: The Devil at Your Heels (1981). Inside you there are two Kens—and one of them wants to jump a car a mile over the Saint Lawrence River. What a hoot of a documentary about Canada’s very own mad stuntman.

Second of November: Frankenstein (2025). Beautiful sets. Beautiful shots. Beautiful people. Strangely, and disappointingly, lifeless.

My first watch of November: American Movie. Such an incredible dynamic between Mark and Uncle Bill—the dogged dreamer and the time-worn cynic.
