CHUNHYANG: Im Kwon-taek’s Shotgun Marriage
Written for the Busan International Film Festival’s Korean Film retrospective catalogue, Fall 2013. — J.R.
Preface
I can’t pretend to be familiar with Korean history in general and traditional Korean music in particular. But rather than attempt to disguise my ignorance with a handful of facts gleaned from superficial research, I prefer to approach Chunhyang (2000, [...]

Global Discoveries on DVD: Misnomers and Displacements (my 7th column)
From Cinema Scope #20 (Autumn 2004). My apologies for some of the format irregularities below, which haven’t been able to fix. — J.R.
One of the most flagrant lacks in most jazz films is the spectacle of musicians listening to each another. Back in the early 60s, when I was frequenting a lot [...]

Aerograd
From the Chicago Reader (June 1, 2002). — J.R.
The first feature Alexander Dovzhenko made outside his native Ukraine (1935, 93 min.) takes place in a vast Siberian forest on the Pacific coast populated by religious villagers, hunters and adventurers, and Japanese spies, where the Soviets planned to establish an airfield and a city. Frankly operatic [...]

Pynchon on the Beach
My review of Thomas Pynchon’s lamentable Inherent Vice, for Slate (August 3, 2009). Much less lamentable — actually quite good in spots — is Pynchon’s more recent Bleeding Edge. — J.R.
“In this lively yarn, Thomas Pynchon, working in an unaccustomed genre, provides a classic illustration of the principle that if [...]

Dumb Like Me [SICKO]
From the Chicago Reader (June 29, 2007). — J.R.
SICKO ***
DIRECTED AND WRITTEN BY MICHAEL MOORE
One of the standard charges leveled against Michael Moore’s Fahrenheit 9/11 (2004) was that it was preaching to the converted. I don’t think this is entirely true: Moore credits himself with helping to turn this country against the war in Iraq, [...]
