Trans Allegories in Film: 'Nimona' (2023)

A concert to benefit the family of Mykel and Carli Allan, the founders of the Weezer Fan Club who, along with their younger sister Trysta, passed away in a car accident in July of that year. This was Weezer's final performance for three years (Goat Punishment shows don't count), and the last to feature bassist Matt Sharp before his departure from the band. Before the encore, the Mykel and Carli's father, Wayne Allan, delivered a speech.

With mismatched eyes, a willingness to experiment with hair color and style, and a rail thin frame, Bowie always drew attention. But he shunned gendered attractiveness, creating his own space somewhere in between. This hallucinatory and often nonlinear 2022 documentary is a perfect salute to David Bowie’s life and career. Rather than interviewing those that knew Bowie, the standard convention for biographical portraits, director Brett Morgen mostly lets the artist’s images, performances, videos, and words speak to capture the essence of the artist. Bowie was more than just a pop star. He painted, sculpted, acted in films, and was a thoughtful and articulate person who gave sincere answers to even the most shallow interview questions.
