The MOVIE thread

Watched The Pope's Exorcist last night on Netflix starring Russel Crowe. Don't usually watch that type of movie, but decided to give it a try. It was pretty well done if you like that sort of thing. Crowe is always good. Had a little history lesson on the Spanish Inquisition.

Going to be a good movie to see in the theater. They don't make races like the Mille Miglia these days.

I’m re-watching Shoah. I have it on DVD from the Criterion Collection; don’t
know availability on streaming.

It was released in 1985, having taken 10 years to complete. So started production in 1975, just 30 years after WW2 ended, when there were still lots of survivors still around — former Nazis (unsurprisingly, nobody admits being SS), concentration camp survivors, townspeople who conveniently took over houses formerly owned by Jews who had been deported. All sorts of people who had eyewitness experience with the Holocaust.

It’s long — like, 9 hours. Can’t say it’s enjoyable, but it provides the best kind of witness — just letting people talk, without judgment, and they invariably hang themselves with their own words.
