"Unlike many classic noirs and gangster films of the studio era, Fritz Lang’s 1953 masterpiece The Big Heat treats women both seriously and sympathetically." David Sterritt reviews for our winter issue: www.cineaste.com/winter2025/t...

Had a great time talking with @nicolasrapold.bsky.social here at the #Berlinale about Alain Gomis’s DAO, Juan Pablo Sallato’s THE RED HANGAR, and Karim Aïnouz’s ROSEBUSH PRUNING on The Last Thing I Saw — podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/e...

“The art world, with all its progressive scaffolding and humanist ornamentation, practically designed to celebrate and aestheticize every rebellion, couldn’t metabolize Palestine. It still can’t.” David Velasco @equatormag.bsky.social — www.equator.org/articles/how...

On the anniversary of Éric Rohmer's passing, in 2010, it's worth recalling his greatness and his distinctiveness; a Rohmer film is a genre, but—despite his many emulators—it's a genre with only one practitioner, because of the extraordinary life that formed it: www.newyorker.com/culture/rich...

Deep admiration for what he’s chosen to do here. www.youtube.com/watch?v=SqH9...

“The experiential difference between watching a movie in a theatre and on a home screen varies for every movie…. Having done most of my primordial childhood movie-viewing on TV and most of my artistically formative viewing, in adolescence and early adulthood, in theatres, I’m agnostic….” 📽️ 🇺🇸 🎞️ #film

Adored Richard Linklater's BLUE MOON, playing this week at NYFF and releasing soon. The film uses the breakdown of Rodgers and Hart's creative partnership to tease out age-old paradoxes between art and commerce, hope and despair, commitment and compromise.

I cannot emphasize enough that TRON: ARES is a pleasure to watch and to listen to, so much so that it almost (ALMOST) doesn't matter that it stars Jared Leto, who is not capable of the Keanu thing he's aiming for here. Reviewed: www.avclub.com/tron-ares-re...
