For the 2024 film lineup, a remarkable movie that’s quietly making waves and set for release this weekend is titled “Lee“. Starring and produced by Kate Winslet, it’s no shock, considering her talent. However, biopics based on real people often face the challenge of becoming must-see films. But I wholeheartedly suggest exploring the life story of photojournalist Lee Miller through this upcoming release. Moreover, when I talked to Winslet, she revealed how portraying a real-life character impacted her personal journey moving forward.
“The Featherweight” delves into the life of retired boxer Willie Pep, who is struggling with both family troubles and financial woes while attempting to make a comeback in 1964 Hartford, Connecticut. Filmed in a pseudo-documentary style known as cinema verité on gritty 16MM film stock, the characters frequently address the camera as the narrative unfolds. Director Robert Kolodny truly shines with his debut feature, skillfully reenacting Pep’s fights by seamlessly blending classic newsreel footage and staged responses. The film’s realistic portrayal of daily life and compelling ensemble cast keep you hooked even as a conventional storyline becomes less engaging.
