Still mulling it, but wild anyone views Oppenheimer as morally timid or ambiguous. Nolan has never been subtle. Here, he mixes the Los Alamos team’s stamping feet as they celebrate Hiroshima several decibels louder than the Trinity blast itself. It’s people who frighten him.

I only met Hou Hsiao-hsien once, outside Lincoln Center in 2015. It was the briefest of encounters, cut short by my bursting into tears as he shook my hand. I said "thank you" and then quickly walked away so as not to embarrass him. There was so much I wanted to tell him... 1/

Every picture of Bordwell people have shared over the past 24 hours features a man wearing a broad smile and a glint in his eye. A good reminder at this time that the spirit of cinema ought be pure, infectious, and big hearted, not purist, toxic, and narrow minded.

@JohnMagary I believe that’s specious logic which leads to the idea that the most successful actors can’t be true allies to SAG rank and file. It’s a cynical if intuitively seductive line that plays into the hands of capital, which wants the solidarity within the unions to collapse.

There is a sequence in “The House of Mirth” where Davies cues a recording of Mozart’s trio Soave sia il vento from Cosi fan tutti over a montage of slow, stately tracking shots of a mansion. It is one of the most exquisitely, and achingly, beautiful passages in movies.

Seems I was being too coy. So to be clear, I think "The Killer" is a self-reflexive tour de force about its own marginalization as just more grist for the content mill. Its hollowness is by design. As the tagline for one Fincher film went, "the feel bad movie of the year."
I can’t recall the last time I saw a movie as purposefully off-putting, as pointedly hollow, as The Killer. It’s as if Fincher said, “you guys wanted content? Here’s some content.” Then, when you asked if you might have some meaning with that, he just smiled and walked away.

THE MASSEURS AND A WOMAN is my favorite Hiroshi Shimizu film. It was a personal project. He wrote the script himself, setting it in his beloved Izu. It’s also his boldest experiment in digressive narrative form, achieving a cinematic poetry that’s unlike anything before or since.

Thankful to the NYFF team for allowing us to screen the Godard and Glazer together. Both films, with Scorsese’s “Flower Moon” and, in its way, “Oppenheimer,” invite us to contemplate the 20th c.’s legacy of atrocity and the just way for cinematic images to approach that legacy.

A STAR ATHLETE is the dark horse MVP of our retrospective. It is now less known than the other major films, as it wasn’t in Criterion or Shochiku’s DVD sets, but it has long been a historians’ favorite. Formally, it’s the purest, most exhilarating expression of Shimizu’s cinema.

A David Bordwell favorite for its bravura camerawork, including a sublime 40-shot sequence, A STAR ATHLETE turns on the rivalry between a laid-back runner and his hard-working peer, winking at Shimizu’s rep as a lazy genius. Only SUNDAY, 5/12 in rare 35mm:

"I was in Cannes watching Tarantino’s movie. I already had the project. I came out of the Palais and I thought: It’s her, only her." Guess that answers that, don't it? I think Qualley is excellent for most of the film. She has something of Jean Arthur in ONLY ANGELS HAVE WINGS.

As it stands, we probably don’t deserve a movie as good as MAY DECEMBER.

Nolan’s films often focus on the traps his heroes create for themselves within fundamentally paradoxical universes. The ambition of “Oppenheimer” seems to be to trace this theme back to its world historic source. So asking whether it’s pro or anti-nuke might be missing the point?

Can’t stress enough what a privilege it has been to discover Ewelina’s work. The future belongs to artists like her.

The films of Ewelina Rosińska are impressionistic diary works whose montages create expansive connections between sounds and images that fuse disparate spaces, feelings, and moments in time. Join us for two special North American premieres on MAR 25.

Indeed, only by promoting the production of more high budget films can we hope to cure the film industry of exploitative labor practices

Should the #SpiritAwards Cassavetes Award still exist when we know that making movies under 500k means no one earns a living wage? Should we be glorifying low budget exploitation in 2022?

I don’t hold “The Zone of Interest” in as high regard as some peers, but it’s not a cheap provocation nor a facile exercise, and the idea that it plays it safe, letting itself and viewers off the hook with its distancing effects, is a narrow read of how those effects operate.

This Saturday, we launch our retrospective of Noriaki Tsuchimoto, which will take place over the next three weekends through Thanksgiving. I’m really proud of this one, and couldn’t be more grateful for the maniacally dedicated @solexyoghurt for putting it together. 1/3

Cinema is seldom greater than Hiroshi Shimizu’s “Children of the Great Buddha,” a film that erects a space, a temple if you will, wherein to shelter and restore the castaways of a broken nation.

Like Kiarostami and his friend Ozu, Shimizu was one of the great directors of children. In the magical CHILDREN IN THE WIND, there’s a devastating scene where a young boy imagines playing hide and seek with his brother—taken to live elsewhere—and begins sobbing uncontrollably.

CHILDREN IN THE WIND, Shimizu’s most adored film in Japan, is the saga of two brothers whose idyllic country life is shattered when their father is wrongly arrested. A shimmering evocation of the growth pangs of childhood. One show: Fri, 5/10, rare 35mm:

The projector at the AMC where I’m seeing “The French Dispatch” has a magenta shift, cause they clearly haven’t replaced the optical block in these past two years. Wanna try harder @AMCTheatres ?
