NOAH

I take a few moments at the beginning of this week's segment for WBAI 99.5FM's Hour of the Wolf to address host Jim Freund's calling me out for how I pronounced the word "erudite" during last week's review Divergent. Nothing contentious, mind, just a clarification. Then, it's time to let the flood commence. A literal flood, yes, since we're talking about Darren Aronofsky's new epic fantasy film, Noah. But also a flood of praise, since this mix of visionary filmmaking and insightful drama, courtesy of Aronofsky's iconoclastic instincts, takes mainstream film to places where most big-budget releases fear to tread.
