There’s a special kind of movie that’s inextricably linked to where it’s filmed. One of the greatest such movies, “Columbus,” didn’t get the attention it deserved, but there are no excuses now that it’s free to stream. Richard Brody revisits the film.
Revisiting “Columbus,” a Thrilling Drama of Growing Up Modernist
Kogonada’s first feature, starring Haley Lu Richardson, John Cho, and Parker Posey, highlights the inspirational power of the architecture for which Columbus, Indiana, is famed.

Thanks, Martha Park! This line-up makes sense to me.
Martha Park recommends apocalyptic nonfiction by Mark O’Connell, Emily Raboteau, Jeff Sharlet and more.
Nonfiction Against the End of the World: An Apocalypse Reading List
As a child, I grew up singing a song in church which ended with the lines, “As it was in the beginning / is now and ever shall be / world without end / amen, amen.” I loved the way the song sounded…

Y'all ever watch a 67-year-old man who famously used to do a LOT of heroin play for 2.5 hours straight and climb over multiple rows of chairs like he was maybe 30? Then watch that same man sing a song so lovely you wept like a baby?

Living Colour releases their debut LP today in 1988 — with “Cult of Personality”, a song inspired by a chat during rehearsal about what makes a leader charismatic.
“Vernon played a riff,” said drummer Will Calhoun. “And next we knew we had a song. All while we were setting up for sound check.”
