Rami Malek’s Cannes Drama Is Among the Best This Year
Rami Malek’s Jimmy may remind you of his Freddie Mercury in Bohemian Rhapsody. Malek won an Oscar then, and I won’t be surprised if this turn garners him more prizes.
he 80s in NYC was a scene, man. If you’re of a certain vintage, you may have actually heard this line — from the know-it-all seniors when you arrived in any liberal arts college in Delhi University as a newbie, those exalted beings who smoked Charminars and wore drainpipe jeans and floppy hair and big Beatles glasses who were, in hindsight, probably spouting received wisdom. There are no such gaps between perception and knowing in Ira Sachs’ marvellous re-creation of that very specific Reagan era in ‘The Man I Love’, which brings alive the sights and sounds of the city with the kind of pulsating energy that can come only from someone who has lived through it.
