Great tweet by Ben Mankiewicz on films about screenwriters
Ozu’s Tokyo Twilight
Tokyo Twilight stands out among the Ozu films I have seen. It’s got much more drama and action.
It’s buried in a Criterion DVD set. I wish it got its own release on Blu-ray.
The Killers (1946)
The Killers is an outstanding film noir starring Burt Lancaster and Ava Gardner. It’s available on disc from the Criterion Collection. Criterion has also included the 1964 version.

Film: In This Our Life
In This Our Life (1942) is not nearly as well known as it should be. It has never been on Blu-ray and was on DVD in a Bette Davis box set. It’s an excellent film and Davis is great in it.
Sterling Hayden was born on 3/26/16
He was an excellent actor. Try The Killing or Johnny Guitar.
Glass Onion and The Menu
Glass Onion and The Menu are 2022 films with a lot in common
ensemble casts
big fire at the end (convenient ending for the story)
eccentric rich bad guy
good people who survive the fire
an unexpected guest
mixture of comedy and drama
I recommend both of them
