Midway through June, I was sent a screener of Septien and asked if a piece on the film could find a home in ESPN the Magazine. Septien is an uneasy watch by design, and unfurls its tone out of the gate (sports!) with a series of disturbing drawings under the opening credits.

The biggest news of this young baseball season is that Manny Ramirez is hanging up his batting gloves and saying goodbye to the Major Leagues. This is sad because Ramirez was one of the game’s great natural hitters and because he was (probably without meaning to be, but occasionally I wasn’t really sure) one of the most compelling performance artists in pro sports. …more
