Motherless Brooklyn (2019)
.jpg)
In 1950s New York, a lonely private detective afflicted with Tourette's Syndrome ventures to solve the murder of his mentor and only friend.
Idiosyncratic adaptation of a Jonathan Lethem novel reduces the original's narrative into a superbly acted and cast and complex neo noir crime drama; the 1950s period settings are excellent.

Shadow in the Cloud (2020)
.jpg)
A female WWII pilot traveling with top secret documents on a B-17 Flying Fortress encounters an evil presence on board the flight.
Basically silly mash-up of several genres with a agreeable feminist touch is pulp indeed, but a lot of fun to be had along the way.

Charlotte et son Jules (1960)
.jpg)
A jilted man rants at his mostly silent former lover.
Satirical early short film by Jean-Luc Godard (who dubs Belmondo's voice) is slightly amusing for the misogynist and madcap rant the guy delivers, but does get enervating soon.

New York
Two young strike sympathizers on roller skates distribute leaflets in Union Square, NYC, 1916
Author: Robert Walser
Robert Walser was a German-speaking Swiss writer.
Walser is understood to be the missing link between Kleist and Kafka.
"Indeed", writes Susan Sontag, "at the time [of Walser's writing], it
was more likely to be Kafka [who was understood] through the prism of
Walser."
