Host Frankie Picasso and Chicago Movie Critic Brent Marchant deep dive into the following movies for your pleasure. Included in this review are
"Moonage Daydream" -- a long but excellent documentary about David Bowie -- not just the musician but the consummate artist and what drove him. Playing theatrically (and maybe available for streaming soon). Review link: https://brentmarchant.com/2022/10/09/moonage-daydream-brilliantly-profiles-a-consummate-artist/
“Tár”, the new drama with Cate Blanchett about a brilliant, compulsively driven orchestral conductor. This is playing in limited theatrical distribution at the moment, with wider distribution to come at the end of the month, but it may not be available in your area yet. Summary review available at https://brentmarchant.com/quick-cuts/tar/.
"Nothing Compares" -- an insightful documentary about the life, music and activism of Sinead O'Connor. Playing on the Showtime cable network and the Showtime Anytime streaming service. Summary review link: https://brentmarchant.com/quick-cuts/nothing-compares/
