Would program double feature of this and Blue Velvet.

Felt the need to revisit this for some reason … hmmm …

Anyway, Jeff Wigand is up there with Jack Aubrey and Bud White as Crowe’s best.

I need to see this again, asap. So many beautiful, soul-shaking images and moments. Patient, quiet, made with a master's authority and a searcher's fervor. (It can feel a bit long at times, though.) The last shot is glorious. Garfield perfectly captures the pride and lust of a man desperate to reflect the majesty of his Lord in all ways but the most important.

The perfect mental reset before the new workweek.
