This week's @tpnwicmfp.bsky.social is a special one for me, thinking as I am about endings and beginnings in this season of change. We discuss Antonioni's L'ECLISSE, one of the five or so films that I can say have altered the trajectory of my life upon first watch podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/l...

Having talked about the movie last month on @tpnwicmfp.bsky.social, I figured I'd write some about it for the Werner Herzblog: new post on LESSONS OF DARKNESS, its "stylization of horror" and what that could mean for how we "remember" the horror we are currently witnessing:

Lessons of Darkness (1992)

Frederick Wiseman spent 1967 on, some six decades, wandering America and the world filming how it works (and, often, doesn’t), retreating to an editing room, then going back out and doing it all over again. What a life! RIP to one of the actual greatest

Many people may be discovering Frederick Wiseman’s work today, and there is part of me that is envious they will be seeing something like Titicut Follies—or High School, or Welfare, or Hospital, or anything he’s made—for the 1st time, because it will undoubtedly transform how they see all film.
