Well, well, well. In addition to getting a touch of flu, my dad has gone into the hospital. He has pneumonia, and is improving, but there are a lot of things Jen and I have to manage, along with our usual duties.
So with any luck, tomorrow will be a writing day. I want to talk about Descendant, All That Breathes, and Geographies of Solitude as offering very different representations / models of activism. Individual vs. collective, diligent vs. obsessive, generalist vs. specialist, etc.
I also plan to offer a few words in measured praise of Living, and probably a lot of words extolling the many virtues of No Bears. Think about it: here's a guy who is currently in prison for the films he makes, and given the chance to make one more before facing his sentence, he produces a work that suggests that in fact, cinema destroys lives. Astonishing.
More to come...
