Luce-y in the Sky with Bruce Dern

This week- two films about secret plots and sports. David Kabakov, a Mossad agent, finds a pre-recorded message claiming credit and giving reasons for a future terror attack somewhere in the United States. Michael Lander, a Goodyear blimp pilot and former POW, longs for death. A spectacular death that will punish all he sees as having wronged him by turning the blimp into a bomb and detonating it during Super Bowl X. Directed by John Frankenheimer, who created the modern political thriller genre, and based on the first book by Thomas Harris- Black Sunday (1977). Born and raised as a child soldier in Eritrea before being adopted by an affluent progressive White family, Luce is an all-star athlete and beloved by his community. When he turns in a report about a controversial political philosopher, his history teacher Harriet Wilson brings her concerns to Luce's adopted mother, Amy. The third film from Julius Onah is a brilliantly acted and complex narrative about race, class, and respectability politics- Luce . All that and Dave gets monochromatic, Tyler shudders with anticipation, Kevin contemplates combat sports, and Craig watches from a safe distance. Join us, won't you?
