In opening with the credits, he pays homage to the pre-1970s cinematic ‘golden age’, when this was the norm. Questions of legacy, tradition and emulation are tied up in the temporal concerns of Field’s film. On the other, it speaks to the hierarchies of production: where is the director – the ruling creative force – positioned? At the very beginning or the very end? Can the film start without him? On the one hand, it situates the labour and talent of the filmmaking team as foundational. For Field, the siting of the credits at the beginning of the film is an exercise in power, too. ‘You cannot start without me,’ she says of conducting during an early interview scene with New Yorker writer Adam Gopnik (playing himself). Tár’s prestigious career at the helm of several major orchestras around the globe has laid time at her fingertips. With every passing minute, the threat of temporality presents itself: its infiniteness, its capacity for revelation. The film opens with a full set of credits: the understood, inevitable closure to most cinematic projects. His creation here, the famed conductor Lydia Tár (a ferocious Cate Blanchett), hovers on the precipice of public and personal downfall as time creeps forward in the narrative. TÁR, American director Todd Field’s first film in 16 years, is consumed by the inevitability of time. Speaking of unorthodox pregnancies, it turns out that all the trouble was masterminded by Death's sibling, the seductive Desire. It was a dark and stormy night."), inspired by a sentence now generally derided as a literary cliche that opened the 1830 novel Paul Clifford by Edward George Bulwer-Lytton.ĭream (Sturridge) and Desire (Mason Alexander Park) Netflix The spider-obsessed couple Chantal and Zelda are also residents of the guest house, and their dream includes a recursive sentence that continually loops back on itself ("It was a dark and stormy night and the Captain said to the mate, Tell us a story mate, and this is the story. Here we see Barbie learn about her husband Ken's wandering eye, while Hal's duet with his drag alter ego suggests he's reconciled the different parts of his personality following a gory earlier dream. She's losing control of her powers, breaking down the barriers between individual dreams so her friends find their dream selves gathering in one unconscious place. He's grimly determined to destroy the vortex, which is bad news because it's actually a person: a young woman named Rose Walker, played by Vanesu Samunyai. The second half of the season sees Dream threatened by the emergence of a "dream vortex," something he once saw destroy the human and dreaming worlds. Vanesu Samunya (right) plays Rose Walker, who is also the vortex. 'Dark Emu injects a profound authenticity into the conversation about how we Australians understand our continent. 'If we look at the evidence presented to us by the explorers and explain to our children that Aboriginal people did build houses, did build dams, did sow, irrigate and till the land, did alter the course of rivers, did sew their clothes, and did construct a system of pan-continental government that gathered peace and prosperity, then it is likely we will admire and love our land all the more.' - Bruce Pascoe The evidence insists that Aboriginal people right across the continent were using domesticated plants, sowing, harvesting, irrigating and storing -behaviours inconsistent with the hunter-gatherer tag. Pascoe puts forward a compelling argument for a reconsideration of the hunter-gatherer label for pre-colonial Aboriginal Australians.

I’ve been afraid of re-reading this, since not all books of those early MM days live up to my excitement of that time.Īnd. I read with a single-minded focus and raced through the story like it was a novella instead of an epic novel. Jensen and Jared are two very memorable characters, and I completely fell in love with them. The characters are multi-layered and interesting and. There is something so pure and special about this story. How do I describe this book? It has an innocence about it. This book rises far above the realm of fan-fiction into something much, much greater. They are WORLDS apart and it just highlights the awesome skills of Felisblanco. The prose of "The Doors of Time" is so poetic and PERFECT that it makes "Beautiful Bastard" look like it was written by Forrest Gump. "The Doors of Time" makes "Beautiful Bastard" look like the author of "Beautiful Bastard" just wrote "nngngngn lkjkljjjjj kkokokkk" instead of words. I just finished reading Beautiful Bastard, another book that is fan fiction (basically). To me, it was just an amazing, magical story. I have never seen Supernatural and so I can't compare the book to the show. It was just a beautiful, romantic work of art.

As leader of the Rocky Mountain territory, Lilith has paid dearly for a position that kept her secrets safe. With bounty hunters sniffing at their heels, Reaper vows retribution and takes the Vultures to the one person no one expects-Lilith, the woman he once loved. Unfortunately, that reputation isn't enough to stop an old enemy from retaliating. After vowing to never again put his life on the line for another's ambitions, Reaper, leader of Fate's Vultures, has earned himself a formidable reputation. The world didn't end in fire and explosions, instead it collapsed slowly, like falling dominoes, an intensifying panic of disease, food shortages, wild weather and collapsing economies, until what remained of humanity battles for survival in a harsh new reality. When the hunter becomes the hunted, it's time to reap what you sowed. Imperfect and surprising and maybe better in the long run than certainties. Under The Never Sky was such a beautiful story, and I can’t wait to see where this series goes! And in life, at least in her new life, chances were the best she could hope for. And I absolutely loved how my emotions tangled together and parts kept my heart beating fast for a myriad of reasons. I loved how rich and soulful the characters were. But once I did, I fell madly in love with Under The Never Sky! I loved how the story continually built with fascinating ideas.
