I don’t think anyone’s hired Kyle Baker to write screenplays for romantic comedies yet. But, from the evidence of books like Why I Hate Saturn and I Die at Midnight and this book, I think he’d be really good at it: he has a knack for screwball complications and the kind of dialogue that only tangles up a complicated situation more, no matter how much his characters try to be clear.
You Are Here is a romantic comedy with thriller elements, or maybe a comedy-thriller with romantic elements, published as an album-format graphic novel in 1999. It’s in what I think of as Baker’s “cinematic” style, with mostly wide panels over captions and dialogue and sound effects, looking like storyboards more than a traditional comic. His art is vibrant and full of color, with a painterly feel most of the time; I think it was mostly achieved through digital tools.

After falling into the public domain, Phil Karlson’s 1952 film noir Kansas City Confidential became unfairly lumped into B-grade bracket, a disservice considering the title’s odd narrative and eventual influence on contemporary filmmakers. Karlson, who would eventually turn to mainstream efforts starring the likes of Dean Martin and Elvis Presley in the 1960s and 1970s, contributed several enjoyable minor noir efforts in the 1950s. These would include 1952’s Scandal Sheet with Donna Reed and Broderick Crawford, Kim Novak casino heist effort 5 Against the House, and that same year’s Tight Spot with a peculiar role for Ginger Rogers. But none have enjoyed the staying power of this particular heist drama, now restored with its most accomplished transfer yet.

"Carol" has been a critical darling and awards-season favorite for months now, and with good reason. Exquisitely shot, beautifully performed by Cate Blanchett and Rooney Mara, and directed with great care, the film finds every department working at the peak of their abilities. And another element that brings the experience together is the music. Carter Burwell's score does a great job of riding the emotional waves of the film, but it's the choice selection of songs that place you directly in the era. The official soundtrack includes songs like "One Mint Julep" by The Clovers, "Easy Living" by Billie Holiday, "You Belong To Me" by Helen Foster & The Rovers, and a few more. But if you want to really immerse yourself in the mood of "Carol," today we have an exclusive treat.
