Common Wrath
I have just read one of the most brilliant pieces on director, Sam Peckinpah. It is written by Benjamin Kerstein, a young writer from Israel. Check out the article at Senses of Cinema. Peckinpah is the key to the poem and video City, which is based on the massacre depicted in I Samuel 22:6-23. The poem is a twist on the notion of “common grace”, the “rain falling on the just and the unjust”. In a fallen world, there is also common wrath.
