The Last Train

I met her in a laundromat in Nakano at half past midnight. Not the most promising place to meet someone. But then, if you think about it, there really aren’t any promising places. People meet wherever they happen to be when they least want to meet anyone. I was fifty-four, and I’d been living alone […]

See the Pentagon and Die

According to a popular myth, Americans have never fought a war on their own soil. In fact, they have—and quite spectacularly. In 1812, the United States declared war on the British Empire and came perilously close to losing it. Britain was fighting Napoleon at the same time—which tells you something about the scale of its […]

Vance Has a Problem: His Friendship with Tucker Carlson

The Republican Party is slowly shedding the original version of Trumpism. And Tucker Carlson has become toxic to political careers. J.D. Vance is not apologizing for his friendship with Carlson—at least not yet. But he is making it clear that he does not agree with him. Vice President J.D. Vance has increasingly been filling in […]

Who Will Inherit Old Europe’s Tab?

The Economist recently published a timely warning: America’s sovereign debt is massive, but Europe faces the true existential crisis. The most revealing aspect of this predicament, however, is not the raw figures. It is the question of why the structural cracks in the European architecture are suddenly erupting into the open right now. The underlying […]

Shards of My Memory

A earthly platform. Do not grieve, Nor cry aloud. To all our wails he’s deaf. One of us has left for paradise— He’ll meet God there, for surely God exists. — V. Vysotsky Time flows, time rushes on, dragging us into its whirlpools, shattering the fragile little boats of our memories into splinters. Sometimes it […]

Integrity

Is it possible to be loyal to Trump and preserve one’s integrity? There’s been a lot of discussion this past week about the meaning of integrity. You didn’t hear the word used directly; it was alluded to indirectly — in wondering whether Lindsey Graham was an immoral opportunist or clever pragmatist; in suspecting Todd Blanche […]

A Childhood Filled with Ancient Mysteries

I have loved reading for as long as I can remember, but when I was nine years old, my life changed dramatically. Up on the top shelf of a closet, I discovered a mysterious old book. Its pages were loose and worn, and its black-and-white illustrations beckoned me toward distant, enigmatic lands. It was King […]

Modern Relevance of Dostoevsky

Dostoevsky sets the events of his Brothers Karamazov in the style of Greek Tragedy. At least the events concerning Fyodor Karamazov, the father of all Karamazov’s brothers. Throughout the novel, Fyodor is on the collision course. All he does is challenging invisible hand of justice, pushing further and further into moral black hole. He rapes […]

Madama Butterfly and the Japan of the Western Imagination

It is fascinating that Madama Butterfly, or Cio-Cio-San, has long been regarded as one of the most “Japanese” of European operas. Yet, in reality, it tells us far more about Western perceptions of Japan at the turn of the nineteenth and twentieth centuries than about Japan itself. The same can be said, in a different […]

Perennial Relevance of Dostoevsky

What makes Dostoevsky forever relevant is his dialectical approach to the most pressing issues of human predicament. Only in the eyes of the extremely naïve thinkers — doesn’t matter if they come from the right, left or center the issues that face modern day materialistic capitalist societies can be quantified, computerized, and resolved. For the […]

Ralph Fiennes the Master of the “Silent Explosion” Phenomenon

Ralph Fiennes always follows his own rules. Looking at his performance — whether in the Lord’s robes or in a haute couture suit, the viewer inevitably catches a cognitive dissonance. We expect a monster, but we get an abyss of charisma, the “gold standard” of cinematic noir, which is impossible (and, honestly, one does not […]

“Demons”: Film Adaptation or Interpretation?

Film adaptations and interpretations not only have different goals, but also appeal to different audiences. A film adaptation is offered, in a sense, “in place” of the book, a simplified version for those who may never read it; the director here plays an educational role, addressing the ignorant as one who knows, the superior as […]

As a former federal judge who has handed down sentences for serious felonies and aggravated assaults, I view this on-screen trial not as a detective thriller, but as a very gripping legal drama.

I envy those who haven’t watched it, because I want to erase this film from my memory and watch it again. Peter Weir’s “Master and Commander” is not just a battle film.
