По наводке nlothik. Деревенский детектив с блистательной Кейт Винслет в главной роли. 7 эпизодов. Довольно-таки чернушно, так что на любителя. Чем-то напоминает английский сериал, где аналогичную роль играет Оливия Колмэн.
Ну, батенька, вы хватили. Deer Hunter вообще один из лучших фильмов всех времен и народов, таких больше не делают. И жанр другой и формат совсем другой.
"The Deer Hunter" is said to be about many subjects...but more than anything else, it is a heartbreakingly effective fictional machine that evokes the agony of the Vietnam time... It ends on a curious note: The singing of 'God Bless America.' I won't tell you how it arrives at that particular moment (the unfolding of the final passages should occur to you as events in life) but I do want to observe that the lyrics of "God Bless America" have never before seemed to me to contain such an infinity of possible meanings, some tragic, some unspeakably sad, some few still defiantly hopeful.
2021, Mare of Easttown :
It takes only two episodes for HBO’s ambitious Mare of Easttown to tick off virtually every hardship associated with the quirky, underdog, salt-of-the-earth people of Delaware County, Pennsylvania. That bingo card from hell includes, among other miseries, substance abuse, untreated mental illness, teen pregnancy, violence, cramped row homes, dead-end jobs, and Roman Catholicism. Strangely, this plot-driven and escapist police procedural is mired in a grittiness that would typically kill the fun. And yet that authenticity has become the main appeal of the show, drawing rightful praise and even a parody on Saturday Night Live.
When Mare interacts with her gay daughter, or her college professor love interest, or her Black former classmate, or the town’s Black police chief (an embarrassingly recent thing in the whiter Delco neighborhoods), politics simply cease to exist. It’s as if the characters have been transported to some pocket universe where neither Trump nor Clinton won in 2016. And if Mare really is an outlier, a cop who leans to the left, then that would be a source of even greater tension. At the very least, the writers would need to dedicate an entire episode to an uncomfortable holiday dinner. (Come on, HBO. Give us a Mare of Easttown Christmas Special!)
