A Drama of Two Masters
How to survive the age of AI, and a new film tries its best to dramatize the rivalry between two British landscape painters.
Making a titillating documentary about two long-dead landscape painters is no small task, especially when it's based on a museum exhibition. But Turner & Constable, based on a namesake show at Tate Britain about the supposed rivalry between the two British masters, sure tries. And who's better than our acerbic London critic Michael Glover to judge if the film pulled it off? Read his review here.
Also in this edition: Two new Sundance films offer useful tips on how to survive the age of AI. Good luck with that.
