i watched this l latest chapel neflick special called a closer. And i watched it twice, and the second time i liked it less. Some of the things that, you know, when you don't know what to expect in the first time through, might start to grate in the second revewing. I thought it was already kind of on the edge of o grating, just because he really does try to straightforwardly address his critics,. especially about the trans jokes.
David and Tamler dive into Ingmar Bergman’s 1966 masterpiece Persona, a film about two (?) women, Elisabet, a famous stage actress who has stopped speaking, and Alma the chatty young nurse assigned to care for her at an island cottage. What happens when the roles we play as parents, spouses, friends, and colleagues start to feel like dishonest performances, an endless series of desperate lies? Can we escape to an inner sanctum of truth and authenticity? Or is that putting on another mask, playing yet another part, telling a different set of lies? We offer some tentative interpretations of this rich and baffling film. Get that boy a normal sized sheet!
Plus we share some thoughts about the Chappelle special…
