This Windmill Movie coming to FF looks interesting. Like Le genou de Claire as filmed by Henry Jaglom.

yay! i hate you, kind of.
The only film I've seen at PFA is Dirty Little Billy, which they're showing again on 8/20. Very strange dullish Michael J Pollard antiwestern.

there's a film playing at the anthology with the following endorsement:
“Never have I looked so directly into hell.” –Werner Herzog

Haha, I thought title was You, Living At Film Forum and it was some sort of answer film to Cinemaniacs.

it's great; surprised it's only coming out now. i think there's a couple of roy andersson threads, with links to his awesome commercials (cf socialist democrat party)

OK, it was pretty painful to watch until the last twenty minutes when Burl Ives was holding court. Niece of screenwriter Budd Schulberg was there and said her father producer Stuart Schulberg had to take over direction of the film because Nick was so strung out at the time.
Will try to see at least one of the double features next week. After that they are bringing in a Brit Noir series that looks pretty good.

can't remember which ones are playing as the double bills - i wish i'd caught the one with humphrey as a lawyer. this series has been fun. brit noir's kind of a turn off for me but the carol reed picture looks o k.

Nope.
Nick Ray's daughter introduced the 9:30 yesterday. In the audience were such luminaries as piano player/movie lover Anthony Coleman and film critic Gavin Smith.
RIP Cinemaniac Roberta Hill

oh no. Roberta obit? she seemed full-tilt bozo but i never imagined she was mortal.
Party girl was nice. Cinemaniac Bill was there.

oh no! RIP roberta. she would sometimes just come in to the AFA building when i worked there, before they even opened the box office, and just hang around. i'll always remember her complaining about the air conditioning in that downstairs theater

Brit noir series is on now at FF. Would have liked to have seen The Small Back Room yesterday, but didn't make it.

So bummed--almost checked out The Small Black Room from the Flushing Library, but went with multiple Chaplins instead. In the summer time, I just don't feel like spending so much time in movie theaters. As a type this, it sounds strange, as many people go just for the ac.

Two technicolor Brit Noirs tonight look kind of interesting.

They didn't do much for me (well, Valerie Hobson was a standout -- but the Stewart Granger wife-killer one was directed by the guy who helmed most of "Mr. Ed").
James Mason noirs prob at 7:50 for me, when it's barely cool enough to leave the house.

I probably liked them a little more than you did, but I think you've got it about right.

why is there separate admission for tonight's single Mason feature AND Edward Dmytryk's Obsession? Not very recession-friendly, Film Forum.

the Anonioni comparsions making me curious.though i'm not one of Antonioni's biggest fans - films from the pov of a mentally unstable character are always interesting, at least from the technichal aspect of directing.
― Zeno, Tuesday, 25 August 2009 15:41 (fourteen years ago) link
"Holy Girl" is one of my fav films of the past 10 years (and La Cienega is excellent too), so I have high hopes for this one.
― Goethe*s Elective Affinities, Tuesday, 25 August 2009 16:54 (fourteen years ago) link
dug headless Woman! Need to see it again, I know some stuff got by me. It's like Haneke without the bullshit, ie not that much like Haneke.Antonioni comp mostly due to mystery/ambiguous-reality element, her film doesn't look like his.
liked La Cienaga a lot, Holy Girl not so much.

i liked Headless Womam, though it looks more like an exercice in directing style than an actual "film". she uses the same shooting ideas most of the film over and over again, so you kinda get the point after a while, (till of course the twist in the end, a-la Bunuel, which wraps everything nicely).regardless, it's a good,original exercise in the combination between the camera use and the riddley storytelling,which together makes the viewer think,digging deep into the movie,trying to understand it - story and "message" wise.after all, thats the power of great cinema.

from the NY Times:
HILL-- Roberta, died on July 18, 2009 shortly after her 73rd birthday. Roberta was born in Washington, DC to Dorothy Dyar Hill and Robert Lindsay Hill. She was a consummate collector and animal lover. When she moved to New York in 1983, her love of cinema took center stage. She has been a fixture at almost every film festival and movie house in the City ever since, as captured in the film Cinemania (2002). She was a true New York character and will be missed by many.
A friend was told she had known her illness was terminal for months, but continued going to films.
