As beautifully crisp and effortless as ever, he charges events with the true nobility of a soul readying himself for death. The film becomes so obsessed with the heavy-lidded stares of its pretty leads that it completely squanders Hopkins. It's tenderly done stuff, all the while nagged by those poignant (un)realities, but achingly long-winded and disguising what ultimately amounts to a peculiarly upmarket spin on necrophilia in an orange-hued soft focus. Death, temporarily rechristened Joe Black, falls for Parrish's supine doctor daughter Susan (the gaga Forlani) - she digging his oddball honesty, he swept away in a giddy schoolboy daze. However, we are in post-Titanic times and the main matter is a doomed romance. It's a familiar fish-out-of-water spiel - experiencing peanut butter, table manners, corporate wrangles and 'true love' wrapped in a perpetual veil of incredulity - but brimful of comic value. Then in virtual slow motion, amid a slew of soft-lit New York finery (he's also savvy enough to sample humanity in the comfort zone of the Masters Of The Universe), Death takes his holiday. He's nabbed the body of a recently deceased lawyer replete with those looks (clever Death) and chosen the ailing billionaire Bill Parrish (Hopkins) as his guide on Earth. Playing the great mortician is a beach blond Brad Pitt, who strains to give him an outlandish Rainman shtick, all clockwork twitches, clucking speech and an attractive wide-eyed vulnerability.

In the original his motive was to discover why he is feared so much, here there seems no more to his arrival than boredom, a chance to sample the delights that a full quota of senses allows him and to hit upon the nearest babe. the Grim Reaper) taking on human form to dally among humankind for a while.

The final moments of вЂњA Little SlowerвЂќ represent вЂњletting all that go,вЂќ she says. (The album was arranged and recorded with her band: Marcel Damiano on bass and guitar, Ray Cohen on drums, Kevin O'Connell on keys, Carly KraftВ on backing vocals, Jeff Tang on cello and Leticia Filizzola on guitar.) The album documents a painful time in Silver's life. She sees вЂњA Little SlowerвЂќ as a summation of the entire project, most of which she wrote over the course of the pandemic. вЂњA Little SlowerвЂќ is the final track off of SilverвЂ™s upcoming album,В 'Slowly,' out Jan. вЂњAnd whatвЂ™s worth trying to do better, and whatвЂ™s not?вЂќ вЂњAs a societyвЂ¦how can we try harder?вЂќ Silver says. Silver says she found herself wishing that people on the political right would вЂњopen up a little bit more, and be more understanding.вЂќ And, likewise, that people on the left - herself included - would slow their voracious news intake, pause before reacting to every headline. But they were also inspired by the countryвЂ™s polarized political atmosphere. Yes, they describe the fading hope of a fading relationship. вЂњShould we try much harder, now?вЂќ But Silver says those lines have a dual meaning. вЂњCan it be much harder, now?,вЂќ Silver sings. The first half of the song seems more clearly about the dissolution of a relationship. But it felt like that couldnвЂ™t be the case.вЂќ вЂњSometimes you just want to take in information, like, let it breathe a little bit. вЂњIt just felt like everything was moving in such a fast, harsh way,вЂќ she says. The Boston-based singer-songwriter wrote вЂњA Little SlowerвЂќ in response to that feeling. That, coupled with the apocalyptic tenor of the news, overwhelmed her. For Silver, it was in the form of - what else - a pandemic breakup. Cover art for Tory Silver's 'A Little Slower.'

A chirpy synth, which previously provided the songвЂ™s playful motif, suddenly sounds yearning. Then a cello enters quietly, a low, mournful tone. When the guitar comes back in, itвЂ™s subdued and alone.

About two-thirds of the way through Tory SilverвЂ™s вЂњA Little Slower,вЂќ a crashy garage rock tune, everything stops.
