TO JOY and THE KING (on CINE-FILE Chicago)

AuthorScott Pfeiffer DateFriday, July 20, 2018 at 01:40PM

This week I wrote about TO JOY, a relatively early film by Ingmar Bergman, that immortal poet of the human heart whose films were really songs of love and hate. It's playing at the Gene Siskel Film Center as part of their "Bergman 100" centennary celebration.

Now that Eugene Jaracki's stunning Elvis Presley film THE KING is back at the Music Box Theatre, I expanded my writeup from my previous capsule. The movie's a debate, an autocritique, an interrogation of the American Dream.  

You may read both reviews, over at CINE-FILE Chicago.
