This week on Remainders we watched the 2017 film First Reformed. An all-time best performance by Ethan Hawke, First Reformed follows Hawke playing a small-town minister as he grapples with despair brought upon by the looming threat of climate change. Hawke’s crisis of faith leads him down a dark path as he bounces between hope and despair in a world that often leaves little to have faith in. Paul Schrader’s script and direction bring back many themes he explored in Taxi Driver into a modern world with new uncertainties about the future.Other topics 90s yuppie thrillers, Darren’s selection for a new art exhibition, drinking with Cedric the Entertainer, The Cure’s summer tour and the lasting influence of their album Pornography, favorite Michael J.
