Jacques Becker is always tactile—his emotional warmth is also physical, as in Touchez Pas au Grisbi, at @filmforumnyc.bsky.social at 1pm; word on it in this longer word on Becker, who—head to the end—was clear-eyed (and sharp-penned) about the nature of his art: www.newyorker.com/culture/the-...

Amanda McBaine and Jesse Moss' #TeenageWasteland, opening at @filmforumnyc.bsky.social today, captures the enduring struggle––and power––that journalists have to hold those in charge accountable.

I just saw the Kevin Brownlow-produced restoration of Paul Leni's THE CAT AND THE CANARY (1927) at @filmforumnyc.bsky.social — while the Village Halloween Paraders marched a block away. Costumed revelry has its place, but silent horror w/ live piano accompaniment always wins the day for me #FilmSky

If you live in New York—or you live in LA next week or you live in Chicago the week after that, etc.—I really can't recommend seeing PREDATORS @filmforumnyc.bsky.social more strongly. You will not see a more thought-provoking film about documentary ethics. And that's one of so many layers to this.

New York: come watch Peter Sellers as a bumbling Indian film extra in "The Party" (1968) this Friday night at @filmforumnyc.bsky.social—with an intro by me beforehand to discuss the elephant in the room. Tickets available: filmforum.org/events/event...
