I wrote for @brightwalldarkroom.com about MIAMI VICE, "a darkly sumptuous masterpiece of eroticism and romanticism, of action and abstraction, of fragmented flows of raw and overwhelming emotional information whose meanings only gain momentum with time." www.brightwalldarkroom.com/2026/09/03/d...

Michael Mann's Miami Vice at 20: Death of the Cool
Mann’s cinema is that of love and longing on a life-and-death scale—all that matters are the compressed moments we have in which to share it.

In honor of his 75th birthday this weekend, here’s my @brightwalldarkroom.com interview with Abel Ferrara about his memoir, his life, his addictions, the end of the world, and his thoughts on redemption (and how the Bad Lieutenant would react to the 2025 World Series).

"In DISCLOSURE DAY, empathy itself is the speculative leap. The genre function is inverted: science fiction stops speculating about aliens & starts speculating about us. Aliens are ordinary. Human compassion is extraordinary. The sci-fi is us.

i will simply never understand when people talk about spielberg like he’s held back by sentimentalism. i would argue he’s one of our most repeatedly cynical directors.
