I’m Your Man came out last year. After Yang premiered in Cannes but was then pulled back until Sundance, where it made its North American premier. The trailer was just released today. It will be in theaters March 4 and will then stream on Showtime.

The cinematography warrants a trip to the theater, especially if you don’t have Showtime. I suppose it will eventually work its way out into broader distribution, but it’s good enough that it would be a shame to wait.

Both of these are serious movies. I would argue that both are “our kind of movies” in terms of cultural tone and the respect with which they approach serious issues.

After Yang was the best film at Sundance (IMHO) and is the early leader on my board for best film of the year. I’m Your Man weaves in and out of some of the same themes, though After Yang is much broader in perspective. They are a good pair to watch within a short period of time for purposes of contrast.

Let me guess: both films feature brazen homosexuality and ‘woke’ Marxist politics? No thanks, if so.

It has to be Star Trek or Star Wars for me.
Just not the SJW woke versions.

Looking forward to seeing both these movies. Thanks for the ping.
