Enter the World of Dekaydence

Sam’s the man

MacMog and I settle down to watch Sam Peckinpah’s Ride the High Country (1962), a western with Joel McCrea and Randolph Scott as ageing cowboys in a changing western world. I am not enthusiastic. And then I get it: a simple story with high character definition, great editing/filming . . . in fact, a feast of a movie in many ways. Listening to the keen, knowledgeable chaps on the dvd enabled me to enter many other levels of understanding this film. 

Hopefully, one day, someone will do the same with the films of Dekaydence; not only book one, Black Light, but also book two, Green Fire, due out spring/summer 2009.
