Design Mastery

Filed under: General — m759 @ 4:48 pm

For T.S. Eliot on his birthday, a film review—

"… the Coens are… elegantly asserting design mastery…."

— Peter Bradshaw, review of "Inside Llewyn Davis" 
    in The Guardian  on May 18, 2013

Related material— Two Log24 posts from that date

Black Hole Revisited and Midnight in Bakhtin.

The former post presents a Jewish approach to
Eliot's concept of time and "the still point."
The latter post presents a more sophisticated approach. 

Perhaps the Coens' design mastery extends to the phrase
"time stops" of Kerouac. See the remarks by Dean Moriarty
in On the Road  quoted here in the previous post (Sept. 24).

The Coens' film contains, Bradshaw says, "a smoulderingly
Kerouac-y poet, played by Garrett Hedlund." Hedlund played
not Kerouac, but Moriarty, in the 2012 film of On the Road .
