Spy Wars (2019)
Excellent series, but ...
Very annoying use of footage of the Russian flag flying when the action takes place prior to the fall of the USSR. Couldn't they find stock footage of the Soviet flag?
Quills (2000)
Best film of the year.
It is rare indeed that a film of this caliber is made. Intelligent writing, superb performances, and uncompromising film making make this a must see film. That a despicable character (the Marquis de Sade) can be made sympathetic is an achievement of unimaginable proportions and a credit to Doug Wright's (original play and screenplay) skill with the language, Geoffrey Rush's talent and dramatic/comedic range, and Philip Kaufman's mastery of the medium. Kate Winslet's portrayal of a virginal laundress is both impressive and enthralling. Michael Caine's doctor and Joaquin Phoenix's abbe round out a cast to be proud of. I would not be surprised to see multiple Academy Award nominations spring from this film.
