About this deal

He’s incapable of the most basic activities and can’t even lift himself off the couch, get into bed, or answer the door without heaving himself onto a walker. The guess is that there will be another big release down the road and the studios are saving or making new extras for that release.

The Whale” is being promoted as a comeback vehicle for Brendan Fraser, who hasn’t had a significant part in a film for a long time, kicking around B-movies and television for the last five years. I want this so bad, but this is shot at 6K and finished at 4K, and I know Criterion or someone is going to drop a 4K disc soon. between Charlie and Ellie, and Fraser and Sink really play off of each other beautifully in several "two hander" scenes. The Whale isn't best film of the year or anything but if you can make it past the first 2 minutes or so it's worth watching. Liz (Hong Chau; The Menu), Charlie's only friend, despises Thomas because she was adopted by the preacher of the church where Thomas worships and blames her brother's suicide on the church.You can easily find articles about this and understand why Aronofsky shot the film with that aspect ratio. Late in the film her icy, intractable veneer gives way when she becomes able to empathize with Charlie’s pain, physical but mostly emotional. Charlie’s apartment is seen through slightly soft focus creating a murky greenish haze, suggesting a sense of sadness and regret. While the film has drawn plenty of acclaim, it has also been met with plenty of backlash over the decision to cast Fraser (who wore a prosthetic fat suit) rather than an actor with a similar build to Charlie, as well as accusations of fatphobia over the film's premise. A reclusive English teacher suffering from severe obesity attempts to reconnect with his estranged teenage daughter for one last chance at redemption.

The other Blu-rays in the set will include 3 Cinema Lessons with Krzysztof Kieślowski, interviews with Juliette Binoche, Julie Delpy, Irène Jacob, editor Jacques Witta, and producer Marin Karmitz, “Making of” and Cannes featurettes, and the theatrical trailers. Black levels are inky without any crush in the dark hallway or the second bedroom where the lights don't work.

I have not read one single post for any of the billion tv shows from a showrunner giving a reasonable explanation why their television show was shot in an aspect ratio that doesn't fit the tv. I don't own a 4K player, nor am I interested (I own a 4k screen, though), I am personally more interested in the story I am being shown and how it is being shown to me. The screenplay avoids simple soap opera, with well-written dialogue, atypical central character, and first-rate direction. The film is more a character study than a typical narrative, its origins as a play evident in the limited location and dramatic entrances and exits. He's a man living alone, having regrets for choices he's made and choices that life has made for him, and in his profound sadness, which he wears on his body as a manifestation of the trauma that he has endured, which he's been trying to cure with consumption.

Sink is an up-and-coming talent and she portrays Ellie well; torn between her anger and hurt feelings to try and understand Charlie. Criterion also has a Blu-ray only version of The Double Life of Veronique available for those who may be interested.Fraser established himself as one of the world’s biggest movie stars in the '90s and early 2000s, appearing in the Mummy trilogy, George of the Jungle and Encino Man, but had dropped out of the limelight - until now. Affiliated with SEFCA, the Florida Film Critics Circle, and the Society of Professional Journalists, Allison's dedication to her craft is well-reflected in her work. The Sounds of the Sea: Scoring The Whale – Composer Rob Simonsen discusses writing the music for The Whale. He spoke about this in an interview with EW, where he said: "Beyond the creative challenges was the material itself,.
