East of Eden Series-Finale Recap: A Good Life (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Here we are, at the harrowing, anguishing, soul-squeezing end of East of Eden. How to even begin this recap? How to talk about an episode that takes us to the brink of oblivion — Cal, what the hell, man? — but then dares to ask us whether we have the capacity to forgive? This question has been part of the series’ fabric from the beginning, as Adam forgave Charles for nearly killing him, and Lee forgave Adam for taking him for granted, and finally Cal and Aron personify what the refusal to forgiv

As someone who is forever thinking about the excellence of Tony Gilroy’s Andor, three words from that series kept running through my head while watching this penultimate episode of East of Eden: “Remember this: try.” Those words are written in “The Trail of Political Consciousness,” a manifesto by young anti-Empire rebel Nemik, and they go directly against Yoda’s “Do or do not, there is no try,” from The Empire Strikes Back. Gilroy was telling us that actually, life isn’t a series of binaries. Y

Read excerpt
Jafar Panahi’s 2000 film The Circle follows a number of women throughout a day in Iran. Characters include a trio who broke out of prison and a woman worried about how her son-in-law will react to her daughter giving birth to a baby girl instead of a baby boy; eventually, many of them end up in the same jail cell. They are constrained by their circumstances and trapped in a circle created for them by a patriarchal, restrictive society. The system has enforced upon them a reality in which their c
East of Eden Recap: Almost by Happenstance (opens the original)

If you know anything about John Steinbeck’s novels — if you’ve read Of Mice and Men or The Grapes of Wrath or In Dubious Battle — you’re aware of his skepticism of people in power, his yearning for solidarity with others who want better for the working class, and his deep distrust of money. And even if you haven’t read any of those works, or East of Eden itself, you’d nevertheless pick up on that latter through-line from this adaptation. Charles Trask tries to prove himself to his father by work
East of Eden Recap: The Story of Mankind (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Adam Trask doesn’t listen. What Cathy does isn’t right: ignoring and rejecting her sons, shooting Adam, abandoning them all. But Adam doesn’t listen. Cathy didn’t want to go to California. She doesn’t want to live in Salinas Valley. She has no intention of being a mother. If this were a normal situation, these two kooky kids should have had these conversations before they got married. Of course, this isn’t a normal situation. But I say all this because I think it’s important to emphasize that bo
