based on the true story of loving v. virginia, a landmark civil rights decision, the film is a story of two halves .
finally released in 1941, john baxter’s love on the dole initially found itself turned down for production when its scenario was presented to the british board of film censors in the' 30s. taking exception to the film’s frank portrayal of social deprivation, the bbfc dismissed the work as “a very sordid story in very sordid surroundings”. the board’s squeamishness about the social conditions that the film highlighted was apparently only overcome by the advent of world war ii, and by concern that banning a film about workers’ rights was hardly an appropriate stance for a country fighting for freedom .
highlights include the return of the' go go power rangers' theme tune and elizabeth banks' ridiculous turn as rita repulsa, while lowlights are the acting and sadly not embracing the kookiness of the original show enough .

“if you love life, don' t waste time, for time is what life is made up of. ”
there' s an enormous power in the narrative device of understatement, since it creates drama by engaging the audience as a co - storyteller as opposed to doing what most dramatic films do, which is pummeling the audience with what they are supposed to be feeling. (okay, perhaps it' s not necessarily most dramas that do this, but in the us today, contemporary films tend to err on the side of on - the - nose as opposed to subtle .) i was reminded of the power of understatement this weekend when i saw ira sachs' s latest film, love is strange, which has rightfully become one of the most well - reviewed films of the year. (full disclosure: three of the film' s producers served as the producer and executive producers of my feature the heart machine. )
the film utilized the red - and - green anaglyph system for the 3d experience and also gave the audience the option of viewing one of two different endings to the film (in 2d) by looking through only the red or green lens of the spectacles, depending on whether the viewer wanted to see a happy or tragic ending .

much of that credit must go to sean roldan’s phenomenal music. you’d be surprised to see how effectively roldan uses the film’s illaiyara - esque sound to transport us to pandi’s flashback, a love story that’s set in the 1970s .
but once you get past all that the kids finally put on the costumes and jump into action. at this point, the audience i saw the film with cheered, because the movie has finally delivered on its promise. it' s the power rangers! zords! rita! goldar! fighting! but something is off... literally. the kids don' t wear their iconic masks, so we can see their faces almost the whole time. even in this huge, ludicrous action scene, the film refuses to fully embrace the mystique of the power rangers .
but the film' s most blatant camp comes from banks' colourfully arch performance as the mighty sorceress rita repulsa, a former power ranger who wants the crystal for herself. sarcastic and haughty, rita walks through the film as if she knows that power rangers is third - rate hollywood product, deciding that she might as well have a little fun. good triumphs over evil on screen, but for the audience, her villain is the clear victor against her overmatched, inexperienced co - stars .
the film is now considered lost, and no footage is known to exist. the film was re - released in 1923 - 24 in 2d as forbidden lover, which is now also lost .
power rangers is a series of bad decisions broken up with decent moments of adorable interactions between the rangers and banks' repulsa, but those moments are few and far in - between. power rangers had the chance to save itself from becoming the mess that it is, but israelite needed to take the movie in a single, specific direction. it could have been a dumb, ridiculous movie in the same vein as mighty morphin power rangers or an origin story like iron man, but it ends up being none of those things .
i wanted to die, i went black out... love was the scariest thing in the entire world... i didn' t want to love another human being ...

had the death scene in love is strange have been filmed and placed in the movie, there invariably would have been a certain defined range of emotional possibilities within which the audience would be prompted, by the film, to reside. without the scene being in the film, the audience is freed from any major dramatic obligations and instead is allowed to process the reality of the death - and the emotional resonance it contains - according to their own whims and tastes, their own way of being in the world and conceptualizing grief and loss. it' s this respect for the audience' s participation that makes the ending of love is strange so sublime and effective .

power rangers' saviour is its own knowingness, its own touch of self - reflective cynicism; though the key here is that it never launches itself into the full meta - attack we' ve come to expect in a post - deadpool era. the makings of cult adoration lie in that little touch of sincerity, which is why this film can get away with elizabeth banks standing in the middle of a town square screaming, “krispy kreme? !? ”

the film, as you probably know - since you hopefully aren' t reading this if you haven' t seen it! - concerns the marriage and consequent physical separation imposed upon longtime partners george (alfred molina) and ben (john lithgow) as they are forced to sell their new york apartment due to george' s unjust firing, which comes as a result of the couple' s decision to wed. the film is about the couple' s separation and the manner in which their lives intersect with those of their friends and relatives over the course of that separation, and the film' s narrative climax comes with the death of one of the members of the couple .
this year, as in the past, the festival paid straub its greatest tribute (the only valuable, though not infalli ble, objective test of a film' s importance i know of) when at the press screening of “othon” half the audience got up and walked out .
alderman, who is already adapting the book for tv with the producers of hit shows including life on mars and broadchurch, said: “i would love to turn it into a game — i’m currently working on the pilot but i would love it if we turned it into a tv show then i found a great partner to make a game out of it. ”
aragno proposed this method of separation and division to godard, who embraced it eagerly. (the shot recurs, almost identically, in the second half of the film, this time of a different couple walking away from each other in their home. )
some organizations have screened the film and organized an accompanying workshop to reflect on the emotions and questions the story evokes and to think about community development. young people viewing the film have been especially moved by the idea that individual choice and sacrifice can effect positive change, even in the midst of structural injustices that ultimately require broader societal transformation as well .

this is strange, since it has always been this song' s lyrics that have drawn me. i remember watching frankie goes to hollywood perform it on top of the pops, when holly johnson sat, centre stage, wearing a coat that seemed halfway between a boxer' s dressing gown and a set of pastoral robes – the perfect attire for a song that pitched love' s power as lying somewhere between the boxing ring and the pulpit .

as someone with no strong feelings for the power rangers franchise (i hated it as a kid and came to appreciate its charms as a parent), this is an interesting attempt to craft a grounded and character - driven adaptation, one that successfully blends genre with larger - than - life superhero spectacle. and if you might find it absurd to have a somber and violent power rangers movie, then we should note that it can coexist with the 800 - plus episodes of the more kid - friendly televised variation. at its best, power rangers is a throwback to the likes of masters of the universe and the first teenage mutant ninja turtles movie. it' s from a time when getting a darker, more serious big - budget feature based on your favorite kid - friendly property, one that felt like a real film, was a rare and splendid thing .

godard, something of a film historian himself, was likely aware of the dual - image concept advanced by the power of love, even if he wasn’t conscious of its influence. in any event, the technique as practiced by goodbye to language differs in two important respects. the first and most obvious is the image’s uncoupling and recoupling, which as godard and aragno manage it, elevates a conceptual innovation to the level of technical feat and creative triumph; another filmmaker might have thought to use the two planes of a 3 - d image to show two things at once, but doing so in such a manner that they could be seamlessly reintegrated is an achievement of another order.

fascinatingly and quite powerfully, sachs chooses to withhold the representation of this death from us; that is to say, the death scene is not in the film. the decision could perhaps sound counterintuitive if one hasn' t seen the film, but again, you, dear reader, have, so i suspect you had a similar reaction to my own: a great degree of pathos was felt! why is this the case? i think that the withholding of a crucial event from a narrative (even the climax) - if it can be easily understood, is plausible, and is, in retrospect, foreseeable - can be an incredibly powerful way of forcing the audience to join in the creation of the film' s narrative .
