#SilverScreenBlack reviews: 'Men' (2022)
⭐⭐⭐
(1hr 40mins)
📣Mad Men: A traumatised widow escapes to the country, but has second thoughts after realising its in the Village of the Tory Party.
Less frustrating than Alex Garland's 'Annihilation', but nowhere near as good as 'Ex Machina'.
👍Country lanes:
Innovative plot, direction, and sound design (esp. all three in the 'harmonies in the tunnel' scene!).

"Vividwater is both a gripping yet disturbing tale of power struggle with the "elixir of life" as a background.
The main protagonist Alex is torn between the haves and the have-nots and the dilemma of choosing the right from the wrong. Set in a future" Read more of this review » |

| Loved this book! Great world-building, fantastic sense of humour, and a highly original take on the city of Wellington. I really wish we get a sequel! | |

“I want to suggest to you that citizens of free societies, democracies, do not preserve their freedom by pussyfooting around their fellow-citizen's opinions, even their most cherished beliefs. In free societies, you must have the free play of ideas. There must be argument, and it must be impassioned and untrammeled. A free society is not calm and eventless place - that is the kind of static, dead society dictators try to create. Free societies are dynamic, noisy, turbulent, and full of radical disagreements. Skepticism and freedom are indissolubly linked; and it is the skepticism of journalists, their show-me, prove-it unwillingness to be impressed, that is perhaps their most important contribution to the freedom of the free world. It is the disrespect of journalists-for power, for orthodoxies, for party lines, for ideologies, for vanity, for arrogance, for folly, for pretension, for corruption, for stupidity, maybe even for editors-that I would like to celebrate...and that I urge you all, in freedom's name, to preserve.”
