i’ve not really had time to process this emotionally today. it’ll probably hit tomorrow, but i just want to say for now i loved her imagination, i loved her humour, she was a really special filmmaker. persepolis remains one of the all-time great graphic novels AND animated films.

"★★★★ It’s a whole slapstick affair, conducted with Park’s trademark finesse, and taking full advantage of Lee’s comedic skills." Clarisse Loughrey, The Independent Park Chan-wook's No Other Choice (15A) screens in Garter Lane Arts Centre, tonight at 7.30pm. @clarisseloughrey.bsky.social

This is a really grim decision alongside Cenk. People often talk about dangerous road we'd go down under a Reform government - this is another clear warning we're down there already. A Labour government doing everything possible to silence criticism of the Israeli Government

The Foys Are Back In Town!

absolutely thrilled to be sitting down with national treasure claire foy next week as part of sxsw london. she’s had such an extraordinary career already that i’m going to struggle to pack it into a single hour tickets here: www.eventbrite.co.uk/e/screen-key...

hard to call BACKROOMS best-of-the-year horror, but as one of the most direct expressions of the gen z nightmare subconscious i found it fascinating. feels like this one could very well stand the test of time

This was the viral image ( back in Twitters halcyon days ) that led to City of Madness being greenlit and with all sincerity help make my dream of writing and drawing my own Batman book come true.

Well... can't say I'm surprised...

yikes!

With poor turnout expected for The Mandalorian and Grogu, I spoket to Hanna Flint alongside @clarisseloughrey.bsky.social for Hanna's deep dive on where Star Wars has gone wrong. (It may feel like homework because I'm mid-book, but the overproduction is very real) www.bbc.co.uk/culture/arti...

THE MANDALORIAN AND GROGU - star wars on the big screen has never before felt this boring and inconsequential

enjoyed OBSESSION & this current era of the brutal horror of consequences

loooooved THE CHRISTOPHERS, steven soderbergh is being so good to us

proud to have signed this letter. the institutions that defend & enable genocide are working overtime to try and silence their critics, and time and time again they resort to these kinds of unfounded lies and smear campaigns. but we CAN speak louder than them

struggled to see the purpose of THE PUNISHER: ONE LAST KILL beyond whatever bizarre reaganite wet dream was going on there in little sicily

reviewed JIMPA, a film about a director who’s too afraid of conflict, which is, itself, too afraid of conflict

This is an excellent piece! The "controversy" about the adaptation says much more about us as audiences with very specific and arbitrary expectations for period pieces than about the film. Also, highly recommend people actually read The Oddysey - any translation they like - it's excellent!

everyone complaining about robert pattinson saying “daddy” in THE ODYSSEY trailer is wrong & i wrote a piece about why:

New pod alert! Feat. @clarisseloughrey.bsky.social talking MOTHER MARY with David Lowery, reviews of THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA 2 and HOKUM, and hot takes on cinema becoming too much of a social occasion. Listen in! open.spotify.com/episode/01UI...

the rumours are true… THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA 2 is good, welcome to the resistance miranda priestly (or something)

enjoyed WIDOW’S BAY, which puts an increasingly exasperated matthew rhys through every horror trope imaginable

THE SHEEP DETECTIVES is a lot better than it seems, i cannot stress how much this movie was written by craig mazin, as in chernobyl’s craig mazin

wrote about how MOTHER MARY encapsulates modern film’s relationship with pop music (the horror and the divine)

loved ROSE OF NEVADA, nobody’s doing it like mark jenkin

shocked at myself but didn’t actually think josh o’connor was a good fit for REBUILDING

found MICHAEL horrendous. human beings turned into commercial products, with no regard for the consequences

Once again. These people do not want freedom of speech, they want the freedom to monolog without criticism. They're going to end the freedom of speech of students to protest bigoted speakers they disagree with.

haven’t seen LEE CRONIN’S THE MUMMY but i found out what they called the demon in it and now im annoyed from a distance… didn’t even try, just some pazuzu word scramble bullshit
