The new one from @adrianpmartin.bsky.social is awesome.

"Breaking Plates is metalepsis unbound .... Breaking plates, smashing frames, bursting out of constraints"‼️ adrianmartinfilmcritic.com/reviews/b/br... Thank you @adrianpmartin.bsky.social for this beautiful review of @karenpearlman.bsky.social's brilliant new film, BREAKING PLATES (2023)!! 🎞️🍽️🌪️

Amazon (Spain) wisely recommended this book to me today ...

On the 30th anniversary of Kurosawa’s SEVEN SAMURAI, I gave a lecture. 40 years later (70th anniversary), I did an audio commentary for the BFI DVD/Blu-ray! The ‘84 version is now on my website. Support my website, please! Also: a 2008 essay on Chris Marker. www.adrianmartinfilmcritic.com/index.html

Cristina Álvarez López & I did a video essay for the L’AMOUR FOU release; and I did an audio commentary for FLOATING CLOUDS. Both appear in this Top 10 DVD/Blu-ray list for 2024! www.bfi.org.uk/sight-and-so...

If anyone is having trouble buying a copy of my new book FILMMAKERS THINKING from Amazon, it’s because the print-on-demand process (which is the only way to get the book) goes a little slow over Xmas, and because this book is actually selling !! So just hang on, the flow will continue soon.

New lecture-video (complete with juicy clips!) for paying subscribers on my Substack: “Body Hopping”. Beyond your wildest imagining! My Substack address is at the bottom of the attached graphic.

The terrific DE PALMA A LA MOD page is always on the pulse of what really matters ... www.angelfire.com/de/palma/blog/

My new book FILMMAKERS THINKING is now available through Amazon (print-on-demand versions only). It is published by Sticking Place (USA), a new edition of the work originally published by Elías Querejeta Zine Eskola (EQZE Film School) in Spain. Please buy it !!

This has just been unearthed and verified: it’s me in 1960, age 1 !!!

Everybody here should put their full name and a brief description of themselves in their ‘header’ – because if I learn that ‘xyz.bluesky.social’ has just followed me, and that’s all I can see/learn of them, even if I know them in real life, I can’t identify them and will likely not ‘follow’ back.

I have a new essay, begun in 2010 and read by very few people in its earlier versions, up at my website now: “Game with DVD: Playing with Jan Svankmajer”. Please consider subscribing to my Patreon! www.adrianmartinfilmcritic.com/essays/svank...

I am new to this site. I’ve been a film critic/writer/speaker since 1979, and I invite you to look at (and even subscribe to) my Substack: adrian243.substack.com. Thanks!
