Dumbo Ears Looking At You, Kid…
Forget, for a moment, that Tim Burton didn’t actually like circuses as a kid – his heart broke for the captive animals, his throat constricted as trapeze artists somersaulted through the air – and this reimagination of Dumbo seems like the perfect fit. No other Hollywood filmmaker of the last four decades has so championed outsiders and celebrated makeshift families. What’s more, it was Burton’s 2010 billion-dollargrossing Alice In Wonderland that kickstarted the current wave of live-action takes on Disney’s cartoon classics.
US Bunny Games…
Us is a horror movie,” tweeted Jordan Peele recently, lest anyone got the wrong idea and started calling it ‘elevated horror’ or some such. Two years after Get Out stirred subtexts into suspense with hypnotic dexterity, Peele’s second feature refreshes and – indeed – reveres the influences of George A. Romero, John Carpenter and Wes Craven in recognising and amplifying horror’s scope for tension and implication. True, it doesn’t quite stick the landing. But it’s a twisted funhouse blast on top, and detailed enough below to reward revisits, preferably alongside its predecessor for maximum echo-chamber intrigue.
