Armageddon Time
(d. James Gray, USA, Brazil 2022, 115 min., in English with Czech
subtitles)
This bittersweet drama about coming of age in New York in the 1980s and about
the loving, if often intense, bonds of a charmingly distinctive yet traditional
Jewish family was first screened in the main competition at this
year’s Cannes Film Festival. In his most autobiographical film, director
James Gray focuses his attention on twelve-year-old Paul as he explores the
complicated world around him with the help of his wise grandfather, who promotes
his burgeoning artistic ambitions. The charismatic and a thoroughly sympathetic
patriarch is energetically portrayed by the legendary Anthony Hopkins, with
excellent support from Anne Hathaway and Jeremy Strong, the latter of whom
recently gained fame as Kendall in the well-received series Succession.
James Gray (1969)
One of the most respected American directors working today, Gray was born into a
New York family of Russian immigrants. He abandoned his original dream of
becoming a painter the moment he encountered the work of Francis Ford Coppola
and Robert Altman. Gray studied film directed at the University of Southern
California in Los Angeles. His feature-film debut Little Odessa (1994) was shown
in competition at the Venice Film Festival, where he won the Silver Lion. He
returned to the Lido a quarter century later with the big-budget sci-fi Ad
Astra. Five of his eight films have been in competition at Cannes, and he has
cast his favorite actor, Joaquin Phoenix, in three of them (The Yards, We Own
the Night, and Two Lovers).
