dazzler

The festival’s juiciest titles are often the discoveries, and that was certainly the case for my favorite world premiere this year: “The Gullspang Miracle,” a dazzler in the documentary competition.

Darnell Washington came up big with four catches for 78 yards, including a one-handed dazzler.

In the opening moments of “The Worst Person in the World,” a funny, melancholy dazzler from Norwegian writer-director Joachim Trier, time rushes by in a disorienting blur.

Mälkki’s new Helsinki Philharmonic recording of Béla Bartók’s Music for Strings, Percussion and Celesta, along with the Concerto for Orchestra, is a dazzler.

Chagrined, he quietly took my photo and the next dazzler in line on the red carpet stepped forward.
