It’s Fine Press Friday! 

Today’s selection hails from the renowned Janus Press in Newark, Vermont. Bone Songs, a non-adhesive woven-vellum bound book featuring poems composed by writer and printer Clifford Burke (b. 1942) along with polymer relief plate prints of line drawings by artist and curator Ruth Fine (b. 1941), was originally conceived in (and inspired by) New Mexico in 1992 by artist, illustrator, printmaker, typographer, and JP founder Claire Van Vliet (b. 1933). The work was produced in its finalized form with assistance from Lidk Wray & Audrey Holden. The Janus Press is known for creating "works of art in book form", and this unique publication is no exception.  

This signed (by Burke, Fine, and Van Vliet) limited edition of 150 copies was letterpress printed in Gils Sans Light font on 40 sheets of french-folded Barcham Green Royal Watercolour Society paper. The text block is encased in a cardboard shell wrapped in stretched natural pig parchment. This feature highlights the corporeal nature of the book, which is echoed by Fine’s crudely rendered skull illustrations and Burke’s incantations of the bare bones that haunt and adorn the landscape of the American Southwest. It also brings to mind performance artist Janine Antoni’s 2000 sculptural work “Saddle”, which Antoni describes “like a ghost” as holding “the memory of the artist’s body”. Much like Antoni’s work, Bone Songs evokes the spirit of its content through its physical form.    

This is another gift from our friend Jerry Buff

See How They Run (2022, UK/USA)

Director: Tom George

Writer: Mark Chappell

Mini-review:

I always love a good murder-mystery/whodunnit, so I was really excited about this. I mean, look at that cast. Unfortunately, it didn't meet my expectations. It started out fun, playing around with the genre's usual tropes, but it quickly began to fizzle out. By the end, the movie had pretty much fell into all the clichés it makes fun of. Also, the constant comparisons and parallels with Agatha Christie's work (mainly The Mousetrap) didn't help much. In fact, it made the ending very predictable. As for the cast, Sam Rockwell and Saoirse Ronan did a great job as usual (and it's always nice to see a movie that takes advantage of Saoirse's impeccable comedic timing). However, the movie is rather short and the ensemble is pretty big, so most of these talented actors are severely underused. To sum up, I can't say I hated See How They Run, but I definitely expected a lot more.

See How They Run (2022, dir. Tom George) - review by Rookie-Critic

See How They Run was an incredibly fun whodunit, a genre for which I am a sucker for, so I'll admit up top my bias here. The film follows the investigation of the murder of Leo Köpernick (played by Adrien Brody), an American film director who is in London with the creative crew behind an upcoming film adaptation of Agatha Christie's stage play The Mousetrap, which has just celebrated its 100th show in London's West End. The cast of characters, which includes people both real and fictional played by the likes of David Oyelowo, Harris Dickinson, Ruth Wilson, and many more, are all very colorful and eccentric and provide a lot of the movie's very charming humor. The investigation is being led, not by the world-weary, no-nonsense detective of whodunits' past, but the mildly flippant, somewhat lazy Inspector Stoppard, played almost listlessly deadpan by the brilliant Sam Rockwell. Stoppard acts so underwhelmed by the world around him that at a certain point you wonder if he truly cares if this case gets solved at all.

While Rockwell is an absolute gem and deserves heaps of praise, the true star of this particular show is the plucky, pitifully green Constable Stalker, who is played here by Saoirse Ronan with the comedic wherewithal of a master of their craft, and a performance that can be put up there with any of the greats. The mystery is gripping; I, of course, won't go into any details because I do recommend going to see this one, but I was impressed with the reveal and thought the entire tongue-in-cheek vibe the movie throws out played very well. There is a lot of meta humor and jokes surrounding real life things about The Mousetrap that, were someone to go into the movie knowing, would make it very fun. Sadly, I didn't so a lot of that was lost on me until afterwards when I was reading up on it, but the film was still incredibly enjoyable and a huge crowd-pleaser. I think there's something for everyone to enjoy here, especially for those that love a good whodunit.

Score: 8/10

See How They Run

See How They Run    [trailer]

In the West End of 1950s London, plans for a movie version of a smash-hit play come to an abrupt halt after a pivotal member of the crew is murdered.

Enjoyable, and more lively than recent Poirot movies. But despite its cast I didn't find it very memorable. I kept thinking that it should be funnier.
