Britain fared better, with my favourite sci - fi horror film in a long time, Glazer's Under the Skin, and my favourite entertainment film
of the year, the conventional, but charming Pride, while the flawed Mr. Turner impressively reflects the great painter's sun
worship through Dick Pope's widescreen cinematography.Highlights
of my year included being on the FIPRESCI jury at the Hong Kong IFF, where I admired Yang Hen's third feature, Na pian hu shui (Lake August), and a couple
of first features among others, as well as attending the amazing HK film market for the first time, where I saw one
of my three 2014 «films for the ages», Tsai's Journey to the West; and seeing a nitrate print
of Hitchcock's Rebecca at the George Eastman
House in Rochester (where they are doing a three - day all - nitrate festival in May, 2015!).
From a classically trained yet perennially soused tragedian breezing
through town to the skeletal beginnings
of a
house of worship, signs
of the «civilizing» East arrive in Tombstone containing both the glimmer
of progress and the shadows
of the past.
Our hope is that Four Evangelists Orthodox Church will be a
house of prayer for all people to meet, know, and
worship our Savior Jesus Christ as he taught us, following the liturgical and spiritual practices as handed down
through the Orthodox tradition.
