Mr. Rostan at the Movies: Artists Making Movies About Artists
Andrew Rostan was a film student before he realized that making comics was his horrible destiny, but he’s never shaken his love of cinema. Every two weeks, he’ll opine on either current pictures or important movies from the past.
“The Stray” by Margaret Keane…guess what I’m writing about today?
In my last column, I put two major Oscar contenders that told the biographies of scientists side by side. This time, I’m comparing movies about painters, which also feature great acting…but further work on every other cinematic level, one of which is among the best of the year.
“Landscape With Distant River and Bay” by Joseph Mallord William Turner…who got a movie about him that’s just as beautiful.
