Lisa’s list of quotes at the beginning reminded me of one of my favorites from Will in episode 79 when he said of Delicatessen (1991), “It’s really fucking French.”

Thanks to @griersonleitch.bsky.social reminding me - in the midst of a cri du cœur about a lost era of journalism/justice - to read this harrowing, necessary piece on the Tates. Very much a situation where I knew it was bad, but had *no idea* just how bad.

TESTAMENT has haunted me since I saw it as a boy. In honor of the film being added to the @criterion.bsky.social, I spoke with director Lynne Littman and star Jane Alexander about death, motherhood, and the fact that we're always on the eve of destruction.

RIP
Sam Neill on why 'The Piano' (1993) is an important movie in cinema history: 

"I don't think I can overestimate how important 'The Paino' is for me in hindsight. it sits on my funny old CV like a medal on my chest. It wasn't my film. It Jane Campion's. I wasn't the star of the film. That was Holly Hunter. But there is honour to be found in the second fiddle. Or fopurth. No one notices you much, you don't get nominated for things. But you served. I was there in an important feminist film. I was there on the front line in an important New Zealand film. Neither of those labels does the film justice. It's a work of art. And look, that tiny little figure in the fabric—see down there on the right—that's me. It's a film that will always have a place in cinema history. And I served in it."

("Did I ever Tell You This: A Memeoir", Sam Neill)
