      <![CDATA[@Jason: I just watched BITTER VICTORY on TCM a few weeks ago for the first time, and it's really impressive: it reminded me of Kubrick's PATHS OF GLORY in its bitter desolation and cynicism about the military — that last shot is a real kick in the gut. But Ray turns the desert locale into something resembling science fiction, totally unlike the golden-hued dunes of LAWRENCE OF ARABIA: this is a lunar landscape with the color bleached out of it, and when the men (including a young Christopher Lee) are walking across the white dunes, they sometimes look like astronauts floating in a white void.

      <![CDATA[By the way, Wim Wenders' "Lightning Over Water," made as Nick's life was ending, then ended, would have been a nice pairing with the "Can't Go Home Again" film..Catch that when you can, if you haven't.

      <![CDATA[Nick Ray was one of my teachers at NYU Grad Film. He would start his semesters of classes with an exercise where everyone in the room handed off a camera to each other, hand to hand, one by one, without comment or explanation, long enough  and repeatedly enough that it became a sort of dance, and you came to see it was intended to be a sacred and shared object, not just an expensive tool, but one familiar enough to improvise with.

      <![CDATA[Excellent piece. I've seen most of Ray's films (THE LUSTY MEN is one of my favorites, too), but I haven't seen BITTER VICTORY or BIGGER THAN LIFE - really looking forward to those.

      <![CDATA[Besides THE SAVAGE INNOCENTS (and Ray's debut THEY LIVE BY NIGHT, which was evidently unavailable), the film I really miss in this retro is THE LUSTY MEN. I can't fault The Belcourt on that, because I know they tried to book it, but I watched it during TCM's month-long Ray salute recently and found it even better than I remembered.
