He then slathers on the sugary strings to further drive home that we are truly in magical realm of fantasy and wonder whether we like it or not.Īmazingly, in Besson’s original cut of Arthur and the Invisibles the characters are even more racist. So he has narrator David Suchet over-explain, in the most literal possible fashion, a plot that is already almost insultingly simple, a lazy hodgepodge of characters and themes from better children’s films. Then Arthur enters the fantastical animated world of the Minimoys, tiny creatures in a magical land and I experienced intense instant nostalgia for the comparatively sublime live-action opening where Arthur is an obnoxiously precocious little human boy and not some weird Minimoy hybrid.Īs a filmmaker Besson does not trust his audience.

I’ve written about some of David Bowie’s biggest and most important films and performances for this column but I’ve gravitated towards oddball projects even hardcore fans probably don’t know exist, obscurities like B.U.S.T.E.D, Just a Gigolo, Bandslam, The Hunger TV show and August.

I also recently began a series chronicling the films of bad boy auteur Oliver Stone. This generous patron is now paying for me to watch and write about the cult animated show Batman Beyond and I also recently began even more screamingly essential deep dives into the complete filmographies of troubled video vixen Tawny Kitaen and troubled former Noxzema pitch-woman Rebecca Gayheart. I’m deep into a project on the films of the late, great, fervently mourned David Bowie and I have now watched and written about every movie Sam Peckinpah made over the course of his tumultuous, wildly melodramatic psychodrama of a life and career. Or you can be like three kind patrons and use this column to commission a series of pieces about a filmmaker or actor. The price goes down to seventy-five dollars for all subsequent choices. It’s the career and site-sustaining column that gives YOU, the kindly, Christ-like, unbelievably sexy Nathan Rabin’s Happy Place patron, an opportunity to choose a movie that I must watch, and then write about, in exchange for a one-time, one hundred dollar pledge to the site’s Patreon account. Welcome, friends, to the latest entry in Control Nathan Rabin 4.0.
