Eastbound & Down: Chapter 17 (2012)
Insane x2
Just when you thought McBride had blown past any boundary of human decency he takes on previously unexplored territory of death. Cringingly funny, inspired use of Jason Sudeikus resurrected as the twin brother.
Impossible Peace (2017)
Mesmerizing
Endlessly fascinating, I can watch these repeatedly and never tire. One of my favorite aspects is the uncredited narration of Jeremy Irons, continuing in the long tradition of British war documentaries narrated by luminaries such as Laurence Olivier - great script, leavened with humor, he's fully engaged and really elevates the material. Took me awhile to put the two and two together, but he starred in Brideshead Revisited in the 80s - which covers the same time period. I'm sure he immersed himself in the period history for that role, and he truly brings it alive in this narration. Brilliant production all around, the echoes ripple to our current era to haunting affect.
