Jim Fouratt’s REEL DEAL: Movies that Matter

Published January 2016

BEST IN FILM 2015

We are not limiting ourselves to a Top Ten. Rather we have put together a list of narrative and documentary films of merit that you can use to queue on NetFlix or clip and post on your fridge door so when the film pops up on NetFlix, in a local theater or on Video On Demand you can see them. We prefer you see movies on big screens in dark spaces with human beings interacting with the content on the screen. I have seen all of these films … and I hope you can too.

So Let’s Go The Movies

NARRATIVE FILM

1. TANGERINE: Filmed on an iPhone, the perfect camera to capture the vitality and drama on the street where these tranny hookers live and captures a survival community. A serious comedy. Top place because of the technological innovation that will transform storytelling.

2. THE REVENANT: A Greek drama (father and son) played out in the US wilderness when French Canadians and US hunters vied for pelts and were slaughtering the native population who tomahawked back. Shot in natural light; it of all the films this year verges closest to a masterpiece…time will be the final judge.

3. SON OF SAUL: A Hungarian director explores the world of Jewish Capos in concentration camps. How the desire to live as long as possible when confronting the reality of death. The lead actor nuances the complexity of his situation with great skill. A compelling horror story that will leave you thinking long after you have left the theater.

4. SPOTLIGHT: Rather than TMZing the sexual molestation scandal that began unraveling when a Boston Globe investigation news unit discovered a pattern to the Roman Catholic Hierarchy coverup, Spotlight explores how critical investigative and long form journalism is so necessary in getting to the truth. A perfect ensemble cast—some stars—all of whom disappear into their characters.

5. THE BIG SHORT: Does for narrative films what Charles Ferguson’s documentary Inside Job did to Wall Street. Mind challenging and mind blowing…and most shockingly in 2015 nothing has essentially changed and no major person culpable has been found guilty. Essential viewing!

6. JOY: David O. Russell once again celebrates the “little guy/gal” as he spins a capitalist fantasy that if you work hard enough and don’t give up or refuse to take “no” for an answer, you too can wind up a billionaire. Jennifer Lawrence once again demonstrates why she is the best actress of her generation and seems incapable on screen of having an inauthentic moment. A feminist parable on 4 generations of women in one family.

7. CAROL: Director Todd Haynes and Cinematographer Ed Lackman frame a forbidden sapphic love story set in the conservative ‘50s with care to detail and authenticity. Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara play the two women, one who falls in lust and one who falls in love. A coming of age film as well as an insightful exposition of how class privilege does not protect a woman when the rules are broken.

8. BRIDGE OF SPIES: Steven Spielberg takes his master gift of storytelling and looks to a cold war hostage drama to ask a very essential question. As relevant today as it was in the ‘50s. What makes a good American? Mark Rylance as a Russian spy, and Tom Hanks a Wall Street lawyer assigned to take the spy case pro bono, tango and mirror each other in a profoundly provocative way.

9. MAD MAX: FURY ROAD: George Miller has taken the bad boy road runner and reformulated it as a feminist action film at its cinematic, mythic peak. From first frame to last, it straps you into your seat and takes you on a wild wild ride with Charlize Theron as the woman in charge. And when “old dykes on bikes” come to her rescue, it provides an epiphany of gender reversal triumph.

10. LOVE AND MERCY: What a surprise: a movie music bio that actually works. Beach Boy Brian Wilson, with all his brilliant song crafting skills and mental health issues on display, is rescued from a master/slave relation with a rogue therapist by the love and good intentions of a female car salesperson with whom he falls in love. Paul Dano (younger) and John Cusack (older Brian) soar.

DOCUMENTARIES

9350 documentaries were released in 2015. I saw Approximately 500. Here are my recommendations:

1. PEACE OFFICER: A look at police brutality and culpability told through the eyes of a Democrat non-Mormon elected to Sheriff in the largest county of all-White Utah. In the 70’s he brought a 3 person SWAT team to assist. 30 years later he saw how the SWAT team had grown and in fact had killed his son-in-law. Spending 3 years investigating, he uncovered the truth of how police can lie to protect each other. He has very strong views on what can be done to correct the system and restore police to the role of peacekeeper—not killer cop. He points out that it is not only skin color but also class that marks a person

2. IN Jackson Heights: Frederick Wiseman shows gentrification, not in theory but how it actually happens in Queens NYC. The little guy is tossed out like a rag that has no further use by greedy owners ruining the diversity of a community.

3. WHAT HAPPENED MISS SIMONE?: At 15 Simone was training to be the first black woman to play classical piano at Carnegie Hall when she did not get accepted at her music school of choice because her race seemed not to meet their criteria. How she became a blues singer, fell in love with the wrong kind of men, got into Black Power ‘60s politics and actually told Martin Luther King “I’m with Malcolm X” is just some of what is revealed. Liz Garbus leaves no stone unturned and at least to me raises the question: Can oppression drive one crazy regardless of talent or fame?

4. AN OPEN SECRET: The film that most of Hollywood industry honchos and SAG/AFTRA would if they could have, burned. Because it peels back the scab covering the open wound of pedophilia and child molestation in the movie industry. Shocking is the only word I have for the work that Berg has done.

5. WELCOME TO LEITH: Leith is a town in North Dakota pop. 24 including a perfectly integrated interracial couple. When a Christian Right Wing leader comes to town and starts waving big bucks around wanting to buy up the land and property a stage is set. You might be surprised by what happened. I was!

6. THE BLACK PANTHER PARTY: VANGUARD OF THE REVOLUTION:Stanley Nelson has been on a journey to not only educate young black people to the struggle against slavery and racism in the US but all of us. Here he takes on the Black Panther Party and does what few others have done. He makes them humans and shows what their real goals were in servicing the black community and how this was more a threat to J. Edgar Hoover than black leather jackets, berets and guns.

7. NO HOME MOVIE: The New York Film Festival was abuzz after the press screening of Chantal Ackerman’s new film and her arrival was much anticipated. But the day before the first public screening it was announced she had committed suicide. She was believed to have been distraught since the loss of her mother.

8. BEST OF ENEMIES: Delicious is the best word to describe the verbal and political sparring between two expert debaters on opposite ends of the political spectrum. Literary giant Gore Vidal with all his Hollywood sheen and Mr. Republican, Connecticut old money William F. Buckley. They clearly do not like each other but are civil and polite most of the time. If only the current batch of GOP candidates had sat and listened and studied the skills of these two master debaters.

9. DREAMCATCHER: A Sundance hit about a black sex worker who got out of jail and decided to change her life after 20 years on the street. She does this, and then makes her life goal to help other women trapped in the same lifestyle, providing a safety net when they want out. The subject, if given her own TV show, would give Oprah a run for her money.

10. THE HUNTING GROUND: Kirby Dick, fresh from the success of The Invisible War, presents his exposé of college administrators’ refusal to take real action in an effort to motivate change on campus. Bitter truth telling enhances this documentary and the fight for a solution.

"Manta Ray" by J. Ralph & Anohni (F.K.A. Antony - Original Song From Rac...

ANOHNI

(Antony of Antony and the Johnson's chosen name aka antony hagerty birth name ) has issued a heart full explanation of why he is not attending the Academy Awards tonight. Although this beautiful song, Manta Ray was nominated for BEST SONG the producers chose to not have it performed by Anohni I was glad when I learned v creative work was being honored by this nomination in the same way I was when Jaye Davidson was nominated for Best Supporting actor for v work in the Crying Game. When I read Anohni's statement issued yesterday where he states why he could not board the plane to attend the awards show I wept in resonance with his reasons . I remember first meeting Anohni in the downstairs dressing room of the Pyramid when he was performing in Blacklips his tribute company to british gender-free performance group Bluelips. I remember when v lived in an SRO on 15th street, worked at a copy shop and sang at fashion shows and was scorned by the gay male, disco and indie rock audience etc. I remember when he turned down a low paying Chris Blackwell ( Island records) exclusive contract and proceed to self fund his first album. I remember when David Tibet of Current 93 heard the album and offered to release it on his DURTO imprint. I remember when Antony And the Johnsons began performing as a group and Julia Kent and Thomas Dove/Bartlett were a part of the ensemble. I remember intro him to Rosemary Carroll the only lawyer of merit I knew in the music business I thought would get v unique talent and independent drive , I remember when everything changed for Antony when v won the prestigious British MERCURY PRIZE I remember when he he choose to sign with Secretly Canadian, a small indie record label in Canada that had a relationship with Geoff Travis' ROUGH TRADE ( who had released the David Russell “World of Echo” ) I remember the early collaborations with Charles Atlas, the video artist, I remember as the art world and discerning music lovers discoverd Antony and the Johnson . I watched as my secret became the world’s secret ..I remeber when ANTONI release a politcal song aboutm the environment just prior to the Paris Climate Change Conference Antoni sings 4 degree but this wasn't enough for the producers of the Oscar show. ANTONI took action in the way femme people of all gender expression do : with feeling, sensitivity, passion and strength rather than simple brute anger.

Antoni issued this statement yesterday ...and I wept as it resonated with me the truth of the engaged artist in the world today .

WHY I AM NOT ATTENDING THE ACADEMY AWARDS

by Anohni, Oscar Nominee for best song (“Manta Ray” with composer J. Ralph)

I am the only transgendered performer ever to have been nominated for an Academy Award, and for that I thank the artists who nominated me. (There was a trans songwriter nominee named Angela Morley in the early 70’s who did some great work behind the scenes.) I was in Asia when I found out the news. I rushed home to prepare something, in case the music nominees would be asked to perform. Everyone was calling with excited congratulations. A week later, Sam Smith, Lady Gaga and the Weeknd were rolled out as the evening’s entertainment with more performers “soon to be announced”. Confused, I sat and waited. Would someone be in touch? But as time bore on I heard nothing. I was besieged with people asking me if I was going to perform.

My anxiety increased as weeks passed. I slowly realized that the positive implication of this nomination was being retracted. The producers seemed to have decided to stage performances only by the singers who were deemed commercially viable. Composer David Lang’s song “Simple Song #3” performed by South Korean soprano Sumi Jo was also omitted.

It was degrading to watch the articles in Variety, The Daily Telegraph, Pitchfork, Stereogum, etc. start to appear. Eclipsing earlier notices of congratulations, now the papers were naming me as one of two artists to have been “cut” by the Academy due to “time constraints”. In the next sentence it was announced that Dave Grohl, not nominated in any category, had been added to the list of performers.

Everyone told me that I still ought to attend, that a walk down the red carpet would still be “good for my career”.

Last night I tried to force myself to get on the plane to fly to LA for all the nominee events, but the feelings of embarrassment and anger knocked me back, and I couldn’t get on the plane. I imagined how it would feel for me to sit amongst all those Hollywood stars, some of the brave ones approaching me with sad faces and condolences. There I was, feeling a sting of shame that reminded me of America’s earliest affirmations of my inadequacy as a transperson. I turned around at the airport and went back home.

As if to rub salt into the wound, the next morning the Oscars added that I was transgendered to the trivia page of their website.

I want to be clear — I know that I wasn’t excluded from the performance directly because I am transgendered. I was not invited to perform because I am relatively unknown in the U.S., singing a song about ecocide, and that might not sell advertising space. It is not me that is picking the performers for the night, and I know that I don't have an automatic right to be asked.

But if you trace the trail of breadcrumbs, the deeper truth of it is impossible to ignore. Like global warming, it is not one isolated event, but a series of events that occur over years to create a system that has sought to undermine me, at first as a feminine child, and later as an androgynous transwoman. It is a system of social oppression and diminished opportunities for transpeople that has been employed by capitalism in the US to crush our dreams and our collective spirit.

I was told during my 20s and 30s there was no chance that someone like me could have a career in music, and this perspective was reiterated by so many industry “professionals” and media outlets that I lost count. I almost gave up. Thankfully, fellow artists like Lou Reed advocated for me so intensely that I got a foothold despite the worst intentions of others. In that sense, I am one of the luckiest people in the world.

I enjoy that wild and reckless exhilaration that comes from naming my truth as best as I can; it is what Nina Simone might have called a “boon”. The truth is that I was not groomed for stardom and watered down for your enjoyment. As a transgendered artist, I have always occupied a place outside of the mainstream. I have gladly paid a price for speaking my truth in the face of loathing and idiocy.

At the age of 35 I was awarded the UK’s Mercury Prize. All the nominees were invited to perform that night. They lifted me from obscurity and celebrated me, setting off a chain of events that changed my life forever.

Now ten years later, I have sung for millions of people in some of the most beautiful theaters in the world, from the Royal Opera House in London to a tiny shed full of Aboriginal women elders in the Western Australian desert. I have accomplished so many of my dreams. I have collaborated with musicians and artists whom I deeply respect. I have held space for feminism, eco-consciousness, and trans advocacy for 2 decades. I have been afforded a platform to participate in the cultural conversation.

I brought my earnings from around the world home to New York City and paid my taxes. That money was spent by the U.S. government on Guantanamo Bay, drone bombs, surveillance, capital punishment, prisons for whistleblowers, corporate subsidies and bank bailouts.

In the United States it is all about money: those who have it and those who don’t. Identity politics are often used as a smokescreen to distract us from this viral culture of wealth extraction. When we are not extracting wealth from nature, we are extracting it from the working and middle classes.

So I have decided not to attend the Academy Awards this election year. I will not be lulled into submission with a few more well manufactured, feel-good ballads and a bit of good old fashioned T. and A. They are going to try to convince us that they have our best interests at heart by waving flags for identity politics and fake moral issues. But don't forget that many of these celebrities are the trophies of billionaire corporations whose only intention it is to manipulate you into giving them your consent and the last of your money. They have been paid to do a little tap dance to occupy you while Rome burns. These are the last days of a great American fake-out sponsored by Exxon Mobile, Walmart, Amazon, Google and Phillip Morris. America, a country that is no longer contained by physical borders, aspires only for more power and control. I want to maximize my usefulness and advocate for the preservation of biodiversity and the pursuit of human decency within my sphere of influence.

Antoni now identifies v gender expression as androgynous transwoman. Out of respect for his self-authorship I am using gender neutral pronouns as defined by the artist and trans role model Justin Vivian Bond in my writing. I have been doing this for the last two years. Not in conversation I use either the chosen proper name of the individual or their pronoun of choice
