Comment: In the psychological thriller "Gaslight" from 1944 (based on a 1938 play of the same name), a man (Charles Boyer) unsettles his wife (Ingrid Bergman) by claiming not to see things that she does notice - including the changing brightness of a gas lantern that he manipulates himself. Ultimately, the woman doubts her own perception and fears she is going crazy.

In psychology, “gaslighting” (named after this play) is when someone tries to deliberately unsettle another person - to the point of complete collapse. Ultimately, the victim can no longer distinguish between truth and appearance. Narcissists use this manipulation technique unconsciously - it is anchored in their behavior.

GASLIGHT (1944) dir. George Cukor

Dread by the Decade: Gaslight

👻 You can support me on Ko-fi! ❤️

★★★★½

Plot: After moving into the home of her murdered aunt with her new husband, a woman begins to fear she is losing her mind.

Review: Though a bit more Hollywood than the original, it remains both a stirring murder mystery and disturbing exploration of psychological abuse.

Remake of: Gaslight (1940) Source Material: Gas Light by Patrick Hamilton Year: 1944 Genre: Psychological Horror, Mystery Country: United States Language: English Runtime: 1 hour 54 minutes

Director: George Cukor Writers: John Van Druten, Walter Reisch, John L. Balderston Cinematographer: Joseph Ruttenberg Editor: Ralph E. Winters Composer: Bronisław Kaper Cast: Ingrid Bergman, Charles Boyer, Joseph Cotten, Angela Lansbury, Barbara Everest, May Whitty

-----

Story: 4/5 - Tense, steady, and heartbreaking, though there are a few too many coincidences.

Performances: 5/5 - Bergman and Boyer are incredible, their toxic dynamic portrayed to a painfully realistic degree, and the rest of the cast is also excellent.

Cinematography: 5/5 - Perfect lighting and composition.

Editing: 4.5/5 - Enhances the slow but purposeful pacing.

Music: 4/5

Effects & Props: 3.5/5 - The jewels look a bit fake but everything else is solid.

Sets: 5/5 - Ornate and stunning.

Costumes, Hair, & Make-Up: 5/5 - Absolutely gorgeous. The costuming and hair for Paula is especially remarkable.

Trigger Warnings:

Very mild violence

Domestic and emotional abuse

Misogyny (period appropriate)

Mentions of institutionalization

Classism (period appropriate)

All the Colors of the Dark by Chris Whitaker

The thirteen-year-old pirate. And the beekeeper that saved his life.

Chris Whitaker's All the Colors of the Dark is a beautiful beast of a book; a sweeping epic that embraces its characters’ flaws as completely as it does its always shifting genre elements. It's a story about the promises we make that in turn shape us into who we are, and a poignant tale about weight of trauma and loss. It's a richly affecting study of the therapeutic nature of art; of memory's role in healing and moving forward. It's a gripping serial killer procedural and a resounding exploration of justice that gives a voice to those who have violently had their voices taken from them. It's a small-town family drama and a bittersweet love story that understands longing every bit as well as it does the nuanced lines between the types of love we just might be lucky enough to experience in our lives; a celebration of that love—romantic, platonic and familial alike.

"To love and be loved is more than can ever be expected, more than enough for a thousand ordinary lifetimes."

This staggering piece of Americana literature quite literally delivers it all, making our hearts sing and break and sing again as we live these ~26-years with some of the very best characters I’ve encountered in recent years. With We Begin at the End, Whitaker gave us the fiercely brave Duchess Day Radley, who is truly one of the ages. With All the Colors of the Dark, he doubles down, giving us the Pirate Joseph 'Patch' Macauley and his lifelong friend, Special Agent (and Chief... and Beekeeper) Saint Brown, two characters who serve so brilliantly as counterpoints for one another, each creating narrative friction while simultaneously acting as an emotional polestar for the other.

"'You're all I've got," he said. And she thought, I'm all you'll need.

He doesn't stop there, either, delivering an entire ensemble cast chock-full of amazing supporting characters (my favorite is Sammy), all of whom—much like the aforementioned main characters—are so teeming with the hopes and regrets and strengths and weaknesses that make us all so imperfectly human. Paired with his sprawling, unpredictable plotting and devastatingly beautiful prose—and that dialogue!—these characters make even the rare moments when Whitaker's narrative brush strokes stray absolutely captivating.

"If you learn from the times you go wrong, you can revel in the times you don't."

This masterpiece of a novel contains lives; lives lost, lives lived, lives destroyed. Lives still out there somewhere, waiting to be found, like a painting in a gallery window. All the Colors of the Dark is a promise made and a promise kept. Entirely and absolutely.

"Why do some people fall so short?" "It depends what you measure against."

10/10

-Timothy Patrick Boyer.
