Film Reviews and Reflections: The Captain

I know I don’t take enough time to watch movies, not even the movies I need to watch. Case in point: this film was on my list for almost three years! As the poster above states, this film is “darkly evocative.” It is even filmed in black and white, giving it the feel of film…

Book Review and Reflections: The Last Hours in Paris
