Things From Before

My soul does a slow burn as I think of every coward who stepped aside to let the fascists goose step on our democracy. For shame. This is no time to be neutral. Join me in fighting the Invisible War.

My quiet moments are few and far between, but they always include a French film. Tonight, it’s The Damned, a 1947 French noir thriller by the brilliant director René Clément.

A bunch of Nazis and Nazi sympathizers escape to South America on a U-boat during the last days of the war. In the end, the evil people devour each other, as they are want to do.
