For this Friday Movie Night, first up is The Fire Within (1963), a French alcoholism drama from renowned auteur Louis Malle, whose films Elevator in the Gallows (1958), My Dinner with Andre (1981), and Au Revoir Les Enfants (1987) we have already watched. A recovering alcoholic leaves a rehab center but struggles to re-integrate himself into life outside. He decides to meet up with some old friends as his old habits to threaten to undo him once again. Alcohol Bad: The Movie. This is considered one of the best French films of the 60s.
After that is Anora (2024), a screwball rom-com directed by Sean Baker, the guy behind Tangerine (2015) and The Florida Project (2017), both of which we previously watched. A New York sex worker meets the son of a Russian business mogul; they hit it off and marry, but the mogul is pissed and comes to America to cancel the marriage. Hilarity ensues. This is one of the frontrunners for the Oscars this year, and has already received numerous awards. Looks good; let’s watch.
We’ll start at 8PM EST on Hextube, right here:
