Premiering today at #NYFF, Lee Chang-dong's brilliant career high point POSSIBLE LOVE.
@kimchimarx reviews, writing about how the film both embodies and transcends the term "literary" and how it reflects Korean movements and political histories.

In true John Wilson fashion, THE HISTORY OF CONCRETE explores the foundational material that holds New York City together, before going off on wildly disparate tangents. @sadfilmcritic chats with Wilson about Mamdani, Wiseman, concrete ramps, and more.

"There is barely the pretense of a traditional first act before HOPE hits the gas, seldom relenting over two and a half hours of alternating chases and tense investigations."

David Lynch’s final theatrical feature was also his most surreal and formally audacious film since his 1977 debut.

Love Me Tonight, @MovingImageNYC at 1 in 35mm, has one of the great soundtracks—indelible songs (by Rodgers and Hart) and musicalized dialogue, lively singers (Maurice Chevalier and Jeanette MacDonald); Rouben Mamoulian's direction is busier than stylish; still, go and hear!...
We adored CHRONOVISOR, one of the most intellectually expansive and legitimately thrilling movie mysteries in recent memory. Jeff Reichert reviews this strange and singular debut:

"A rejection of traditional linear structures and the willingness to submit to the flow of nature allow Robb Moss to capture the deeply moving ordinariness of human experience."
Farihah Zaman talks to Moss about his wonderful film THE BEND IN THE RIVER:

For my latest Text of Light column @reverse_shot, I wrote about Carlos Casas's KRAKATOA, Stan Douglas's BIRTH OF A NATION, Johann Lurf's FOREVER… FOREVER, and seeing experimental cinema in the proper and intended context and format. reverseshot.org/features/348…
Had the great pleasure of reviewing Kurosawa Kiyoshi's THE SAMURAI AND THE PRISONER, one of the most stunning films of the year and an unlikely culmination of its master filmmaker's aesthetic and genre interests, for @reverse_shot: reverseshot.org/reviews/entr…
Talked with Kent Jones, the consummate cinephile/ critic/archivist/programmer who is now a full-fledged director. Glad to talk about LATE FAME and DIANE with him for @reverse_shotreverseshot.org/interviews/e…
I had the absolute privilege of sitting down with director Ngozi Onwurah to talk about her explosive 1995 film, WELCOME II THE TERRORDOME for @reverse_shot.

I wrote about TEENAGE SEX AND DEATH AT CAMP MIASMA for @reverse_shot. I think it is an extraordinary film - a dizzying, unabashedly kitschy stoner rom-com. I sung its praises + did a temp check on "Trans Cinema" below:

Though heralded as a return to form, Gregg Araki's I WANT YOUR SEX turns out to be a fairly conventional coming-of-age story that coasts on its lead actors’ charisma. Review by @woahitsjuanito:

An appreciation from @Eng_Matthew of Sissy Spacek, "at once of this earth and flung out of space," in one of the great horror performances of all time.
CARRIE plays on 35mm this weekend @MovingImageNYC.

Some words on Take Care of My Cat, one of my longtime letterboxd top 4 and among the greatest Korean films of this century so far, for @reverse_shot. Thank you @kani_releasing for bringing this gem to North America at last!
Re: THE ODYSSEY: I don’t think the IMAX works. I have other, similarly ambivalent thoughts, and towards the end they get spoiler-y, so proceed accordingly.
