Movie Review: “Days of Heaven”

INTRODUCTION

 

 

 

Kris and Jose will be posting movie reviews and concept discussions from their “I Married a Film Snob” YouTube channel in this space on a periodic basis.  Jose is a film scholar and Kris is a film enthusiast.  Together they have viewed MANY films — from Charlie Chaplin’s silent black & white classic “Modern Times” to today’s current releases.  Jose studied Film Theory at University of Miami, has produced/directed short films and documentaries, and in the past co-ran the Cosford Cinema for 3 years showing classics, foreign/indie films, and new releases. Throughout the years, Kris has expanded her palette and come to appreciate a diverse array of genres and artistic films, thanks to Jose’s “home film school”, and is now just as adept at breaking down and deconstructing film analysis.

Kris and Jose’s well-honed insights will expand your thinking about the films they discuss.

Stay tuned.
