CELLULOID DREAMS THE MOVIE SHOW -- 2/27/25

THIS WEEK'S SHOW:  Quiet White people in Florida??

THE QUIET ONES dramatizes a 2008 heist-- the biggest and most spectacular in Danish history-- by a multinational group of ambitious criminals, led by a struggling boxer willing to risk losing his family and everything that matters to him. Zooming in with us is director Frederik Louis Hviid.

From 2017:  In a budget motel near Disney World, the sometimes-disruptive behavior of a resident 6-year-old causes concern for her single mother and the sympathetic motel manager. Director/co-writer Sean Baker (TANGERINE & current Academy Award nominee for ANORA) takes us into THE FLORIDA PROJECT.  

From 2014:  The racial satire DEAR WHITE PEOPLE follows the stories of four black students at an Ivy League college where controversy breaks out over a popular but offensive Black-face party thrown by White students. It also became a hit Netflix series, and we chat about the film with its writer/director, Justin Simien (BAD HAIR).  

Then, "Screen Scene" movie reviews including ﻿EX-HUSBANDS; MY DEAD FRIEND ZOE; ﻿LIZA: A TRULY TERRIFIC ABSOLUTELY TRUE STORY; ﻿AMADEUS [4K][Warner Home Video]; ﻿DELICATESSEN [4K][Severin Films]; ANTIVIRAL [4K][Severin Films]; SEPTEMBER 5 [Paramount Home Video]; HARD TRUTHS [Decal Releasing] and THE ORDER [Vertical Entertainment].
