Some thoughts on Los Javis’ LA BOLA NEGRA, its at times interesting ruptures, and its one damning audacity.

'La Bola Negra' Review: Los Javis' Placating Tribute to Lorca
A film of ruptures, 'La Bola Negra' reclaims Federico García Lorca's legacy, then soothes Spain's collective guilt instead of confronting it.

Ian Charleson’s need to play Hamlet is never unpacked for us across ELSINORE, writes @certifieded.bsky.social, even if Andrew Scott makes you feel it in your gut the way Ian does. #LFF

Charleson's desperate desire to play Hamlet is never unpacked for us, even if Andrew Scott makes you feel it in your gut the way Ian does.

BEN’IMANA is at its most evocative for how it lingers on the topography of the land and faces as people grapple with the scars of conflict. Read @certifieded.bsky.social's #TIFF26 review.

Honestly, if I were a voter, I'd have voted for Hudson simply for that gut-buster moment where she wakes up in the morning and falls, forgetting she only has one leg.

Not saying you should read this piece on ÉL, maybe my favorite film by my favorite filmmaker, because I wrote it in my early 20s and, well, it's a miracle I never took it down in embarrassment, but you SHOULD very much go see the new restoration at Film Forum!

Very excited to share this conversation between me and Doug Dibbern on our memoirs: "I was a film studies student before I ever thought about writing a memoir, so it made sense that my first book would center a deep engagement with the movies as I told a story about my own life." @slantmagazine.com

One of my favourite things anyone has ever said about art. You'll be missed, David. 🌹
 “Right here people might bring up Vincent van Gogh as an example of a painter who did great work in spite of—or because of—his suffering. I like to think that van Gogh would have been even more prolific and even greater if he wasn’t so restricted by the things tormenting him. I don’t think it was pain that made him so great—I think his painting brought him whatever happiness he had.” ― David Lynch

There’s evocativeness and then there’s lack of context, and it feels as if THE DAMNED's cinematography and Odessa Young’s performance are trying to deflect attention from the latter. Read @certifieded.bsky.social's review.

'The Damned' Review: A Narratively Thin Morality Tale
Thordur Palsson's 19th-century-set 'The Damned' draws on Icelandic folklore about the draugr, or reanimated corpse.

These posts are truly consistently exasperating, and it’s why, for sanity’s sake, I read them in my head as Bill Hader’s Stefon.

"If a woman doesn't look woman enough to a Republican, they want to be able to inspect your genitals to use a bathroom? It's disgusting. Everyone should reject it completely... they're endangering women, they're endangering girls of all kind, and everyone should reject it. It's gross." - AOC
