2017 Movie Odyssey Awards

For all my followers out there, I have two final posts left for this year’s Movie Odyssey. This is the penultimate one and the second-most important of all: the awards ceremony. Based on 230+ feature- and short-films that I saw this year for the first time in their entirety, here is an Oscar-like ceremony celebrating twenty-six categories of filmmaking completed over a hundred years. The ten best motion pictures of the year that I saw this year lead us off.

Thanks again for everyone’s support. A Happy New Year to you and your loved ones, and the full list for the 2017 Movie Odyssey will be out at around 8 PM Pacific!

Mr. & Mrs. ‘55

Nashville (1975)

Pink Floyd – The Wall (1982)

Take Me Out to the Ball Game (1949)

You Were Never Lovelier (1942)

It’s not a fully original musical, but it contains some of the best arrangement of George and Ira Gershwin music you could find. You Were Never Lovelier and Mr. & Mrs. ‘55 and It’s Always Fair Weather also threatened here.

A much stronger year for animation this year than the previous Movie Odyssey. Fantastic competition, with what I think is a great winner.

Destry Rides Again

The Goonies (1985)

The Great Muppet Caper

Lady Bird (2017)

The Lady Vanishes

Lonely Are the Brave

My Life as a Zucchini

Pollyanna (1960)

It might be one of the best neo-Westerns I have ever seen. Kirk Douglas said it was his personal favorite movie, and it’s obvious and you can see why.

Best Director

Michael Curtiz, Captain Blood

Stanley Donen, Funny Face

Alfred Hitchcock, The Lady Vanishes

King Hu, A Touch of Zen

Rex Ingram, The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse

Alexander Mackendrick, Sweet Smell of Success

Jean Renoir, The Southerner (1945)

Victor Sjöström, A Man There Was

Wong Kar-wai, In the Mood for Love

Edward Yang, A Brighter Summer Day

Holy hell this is a strong field. I desperately wanted to find an excuse to put in Greta Gerwig as Best Director for Lady Bird, but I never found it. Congrats to Hitchcock, for may be the best-directed work I’ve seen from him.

Best Acting Ensemble

A Brighter Summer Day

Caged (1950)

Fences (2016)

Friendly Persuasion

Pollyanna

Road to Perdition (2002)

Sense and Sensibility (1995)

Sound of the Mountain

Sweet Smell of Success

Tokyo Twilight

Now, none of the actors from Fences are going to win an individual award as you seen down below. But together, they were outstanding and surpassed all comers this year.

Best Actor

Gary Cooper, Friendly Persuasion

Tony Curtis, Sweet Smell of Success

Kirk Douglas, Lonely Are the Brave

Charles Laughton, Island of Lost Souls (1932)

Gregory Peck, Twelve O’Clock High (1949)

Edward G. Robinson, Scarlet Street (1945)

Andy Serkis, War for the Planet of the Apes (2017)

Victor Sjöström, A Man There Was

Denzel Washington, Fences

Robin Williams, What Dreams May Come (1998)

I’ve already commented how brilliant Douglas is here. Also in prime contention were Robinson, Serkis, and, yes, Robin Williams.

Best Actress

Ineko Arima, Tokyo Twilight

Leslie Caron, Lili (1953)

Maggie Cheung, In the Mood for Love

Viola Davis, Fences

Olivia de Havilland, Captain Blood

Chôko Iida, Record of a Tenement Gentleman (1947, Japan)

Dorothy McGuire, Friendly Persuasion

Madhabi Mukherjee, Charulata

Eleanor Parker, Caged

Mary Pickford, Sparrows

As a lonely wife, Mukherjee does so much with so little dialogue. You almost wonder if she could have excelled in silent film, too. Cheung, de Havilland, and Iida were also considered the strongest contenders here.

Best Supporting Actor

Dan Duryea, Scarlet Street

Henry Gibson, Nashville

Stephen Henderson, Fences

Burt Lancaster, Sweet Smell of Success

Paul Newman, Road to Perdition

Anthony Perkins, Friendly Persuasion

Alan Rickman, Sense and Sensibility

Patrick Stewart, Logan (2017)

Gustav von Seyffertitz, Sparrows

Mykelti Williamson, Fences

Supporting categories love a villain. And as the immoral columnist J.J. Hunsecker, Burt Lancaster commands Sweet Smell of Success whenever he is on screen. A terrific performance.

Best Supporting Actress

Ronee Blakley, Nashville

Hope Emerson, Caged

Elsa Lanchester, The Big Clock (1948)

Charlotte Mineau, Sparrows

Agnes Moorehead, Caged

Kay Thompson, Funny Face

Lily Tomlin, Nashville

Michelle Williams, Manchester by the Sea (2016)

May Whitty, The Lady Vanishes

Kate Winslet, Sense and Sensibility

I’m usually not kind to comedic performances, but I have to give it to Kay Thompson here. She was ebullient and heavens-to-goodness hilarious in Funny Face. A great singing voice, too.

Best Adapted Screenplay

James Bernard, Roy Boulting, Paul Dehn, and Frank Harvey, Seven Days to Noon (1950)

Kenneth Branagh, Much Ado About Nothing

Sidney Gilliat and Frank Launder, The Lady Vanishes

Yasunari Kawabata and Yôko Mizuki, Sound of the Mountain

Bernard C. Schoenfeld and Virginia Kellogg, Caged

Edward Yang, Hung Hung, Alex Yang, and Mingtang Lai, A Brighter Summer Day

Best Cinematography

Hoyte van Hoytema, Dunkirk (2017)

John F. Seitz, The Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse

Ray June, Funny Face

Christopher Doyle and Mark Lee Ping Bin, In the Mood for Love

Karl Struss, Island of Lost Souls

Conrad Hall, Road to Perdition

James Wong Howe, Sweet Smell of Success

Hua Hui-ying, A Touch of Zen

Best Film Editing

Lee Smith, Dunkirk

Frank Bracht, Funny Face

Norman R. Palmer, The Incredible Journey (1963)

William Chang, In the Mood for Love

R.E. Dearing, The Lady Vanishes

Gene Havlick and Gene Milford, Lost Horizon (1937)

Ray Boulting and John Boulting, Seven Days to Noon

King Hu and Wing Chin-chen, A Touch of Zen

Tom Held, San Francisco (1936)

Henri Lanoë, Yoyo

Best Adaptation or Musical Score

Richard Baskin, Nashville

Adolph Deutsch, Funny Face

Adolph Deutsch, Take Me Out to the Ball Game

Bob Dylan, Pat Garrett and Billy the Kid (1973)

Leigh Harline, You Were Never Lovelier

O.P. Nayyar, Mr. & Mrs. ‘55

Alfred Newman and Lionel Newman, There’s No Business Like Show Business

André Previn, It’s Always Fair Weather

Joe Raposo, The Great Muppet Caper

Richard M. Sherman, Robert B. Sherman, and Buddy Baker, Summer Magic (1963)

This comes to the strength of the entire adaptation or musical score, not just the best songs. As a whole, I felt like It’s Always Fair Weather had the most going for it compared to the other seen here. I didn’t care for Baskin’s or Dylan’s work outside of a single song from each. Funny Face, Mr. & Mrs. ‘55, and There’s No Business Like Show Business were next in line.

Best Original Score

David Arnold, Independence Day (1996)

Elmer Bernstein, Sweet Smell of Success

Alexandre Desplat, Valerian and the City of a Thousand Planets (2017)

Patrick Doyle, Sense and Sensibility

Jerry Goldsmith, MacArthur (1977)

Joe Hisaishi, Castle in the Sky

Erich Wolfgang Korngold, Captain Blood

Thomas Newman, Road to Perdition

Dimitri Tiomkin, Friendly Persuasion

John Williams, Star Wars: The Last Jedi (2017)

Tiomkin has never won yet, but now one of my favorite movie composers has finally triumphed in this category with a gorgeous, lush score that swats away close competition from Independence Day, Castle in the Sky, and Captain Blood.

Best Original Song

“Blue Gardenia”, music and lyrics by Bob Russell and Lester Lee, arranged by Nelson Riddle, The Blue Gardenia (1953)

“Bonjour, Paris!”, music and lyrics by Roger Edens and Leonard Gershe, Funny Face

“I Like Myself”, music by André Previn, lyrics by Betty Comden and Adolph Green, It’s Always Fair Weather

“I’m Easy”, music and lyrics by Keith Carradine, Nashville

“Remember Me (Recuérdame)”, music and lyrics by Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez, Coco

“San Francisco (Be Sure to Wear Flowers in Your Hair)”, music and lyrics by John Phillips, Monterey Pop

“Zenzenzense”, music and lyrics by Yôjirô Noda, Your Name

Thanks again to all those who participated!

Record of a Tenement Gentleman (Nagaya Shinshiroku)

Starring Chôko Iida, Hôhi Aoki, and Mitsuko Yoshikawa Rating: ★★★ A widow (Iida) in post-war Japan reluctantly takes in a lost young boy (Aoki) when her neighbors do not step up to the plate.

Yasujirô Ozu’s short piece depicting a modest middle class life is heartwarming with a good message and strong characters.

When a resident of the tenement brings a young boy home, the poor kid feels like a liability. Yes, it is generous for the resident to bring him to the tenement, but like the father that abandoned the boy, nobody wants him to stay the night. The man who found the lost boy does not even allow him to sleep in his room! However, after plenty of arguing, the widow takes in the boy. After the child wets his futon, the widow has just about had it.

The day after this event is one of the most moving parts of the film. The widow wishes to find the boy’s parents and goes back to the town where he became lost. After asking local residents, the boy’s father is nowhere to be found. To get rid of the boy, the widow asks for him to go by the sea and look for shells. The widow sprints away from the boy and loses him briefly. Moments later, the poor little guy sprints to the widow and follows her back to the tenement from a distance. The widow attempts to shoo him away, but the young boy continues to follow her. This heartbreaking moment shows how important the widow is to the boy, because without her, he would be not only be parent-less, but homeless as well.

Once the widow and boy go through this moment, it is beautiful to see how their unexpected relationship takes off. There are arguments and tears, but surprisingly the widow puts in the effort to make things work. By the end, the widow becomes more understanding of the unfortunate situations many children face and how important it is for us to care of one another. It takes the widow to witness child homeless first hand to learn this lesson.

The widow played by Chôko Iida does an incredible job with facial expressions alone. The look of Iida is intimidating, as her face is drooped down like Eeyore. Iida’s attitude is also strict and sassy. This pairs well with the young boy, played by Hôhi Aoki. Aoki is one of the most adorable child actors to grace the screen. With his cute little hat and innocent look, it is hard to say no to the kid. When Aoki cries, we feel a knife go through our heart. But slowly the wound mends as Iida’s character begins to comfort the boy during tough moments.

Ozu’s backdrop for the period piece takes place in post-war Japan’s middle class tenements. Experiencing this film will transport the audience to a place where neighbors lived close to one another, and had to work on keeping the community together. There are moments when the neighbors interact with one another, but a particular scene where they all have a group meeting. Most of the neighbors can see across one another’s room, so there are little kept secrets in the community as well. The life is not glamorous or private, but it is assuring to know neighbors are close by willing to help (well at least some).

At an hour and ten minutes, Ozu’s heartwarming piece is unforgettable. The relationship between the boy and window is difficult, yet moving. Chôko Iida and Hôhi Aoki’s leading roles are perfect, as the two have strong chemistry. Additionally, their story is powerful with a timeless message. The backdrop of the story is insightful, with Ozu beautifully capturing the simplistic life of the middle class. Let’s set the Record straight, this is an important film all should see.
