“All of your neural synapses explode.” A blast to speak with Na Hong-jin, about the evolution of how he depicts violence and stages chase sequences across THE CHASER, THE YELLOW SEA, THE WAILING, and now his bugnuts HOPE — plus, why he idolizes William Friedkin, for @letterboxd.social.

Update via @isaacfeldberg.bsky.social: Claire Denis’ THE FENCE will be available to stream next Friday, August 21, on Sundance Now/AMC+. While not without flaw, I recommend seeing it for the performance of Isaach De Bankolé alone 📽️

“For my generation, as a post-sexual-liberation generation, lust or sexual desire is the catalyst. It’s the trigger.” I spoke to Gregg Araki about I WANT YOUR SEX’s blurring of intimacy and artifice, the panopticon’s chilling effect on sexual discovery, and the shock success of HEATED RIVALRY.

“Cinema can only take you so far in what it tells you... I wanted to make something that was about inspiring internal narratives within the audience.” I interviewed the great Nicolas Winding Refn out of the Cannes premiere of HER PRIVATE HELL, for the summer print edition of @fangoria.bsky.social.

HER PRIVATE HELL: Classic Refn in its surrealistic, neon-streaked fugue of seduction and violence, the connective tissue binding narrative strands remaining dreamily opaque until the film’s third act brings them together in gory, melodramatic fashion. More mournful than it is hopeful, a death dream.

THE WAILING: Na’s bumbling-cop mystery fades into a scarier sense of encroaching doom and helplessness. A huge reason the film works as much as it does is that Kwak Do-won carries a massive arc while maintaining a look of beleaguered horror that anticipates and mirrors the audience’s.

Olivia Wilde made a grownup film about marriage that's also a beautiful argument for artmaking and a testament to the fact that a film doesn't need to be fancy, stylized, and expensive to be a terrific work of art. The Invite is a witty, wise love letter to cinema. So happy to discuss!
