First time I ever saw Repulsion was a 3 a.m. showing on TV about 30 years ago. Creeped me out tremendously.

Yeah, that's kind of late to be stuck in Brooklyn watching Repulsion, but Catherine Deneuve!

Could just hang out in the lobby and wait for her to walk to the car at 9:45!

Manuel DeLanda at Anthology all weekend. Bummed I can't make it. Raw Nerves really blew me away -- it's concerns are familiar, but I've never seen anything else quite like it -- and these are hard to see. Good weekend at MMI too: Great batch of Resnais' and the David Perlov diaries.

I saw Muriel last week--it was quite boring. Going to try to catch Providence with Dirk Bogarde.

I liked Muriel. plz tell me Providence is not this weekend? ive been wanting to see it for 30+ years.
― kind of shrill and very self-righteous (Dr Morbius), Friday, 4 March 2011 21:13 (thirteen years ago) link
Not this weekend: don't worry. In a couple of weeks.

Which Resnais should I see this weekend? Is "I Want to Go Home" good? Other choices: Je T'aime, Je T'aime (seen it), Stavisky, Far From Vietnam, Not on the Lips.
― Virginia Plain, Wednesday, 9 March 2011 22:11 (thirteen years ago) link
I didnt care for Not on the Lips, otherwise unable to help.

off topic, but i'm working on the assumption that this thread is a honey-trap for film fans on ILX:
which raul ruiz should i see, first, availability pending? i think i have access to three crowns of a sailor. fwiw, i'd maybe be inflicting it on some others, too, so something vaguely enjoyable or interesting would be a plus.
it'd be nice to have a general film thread for general film geeking right now. i'm all full of enthusiasm for archipelago, & need to find counsel on where to go from here with eugene green films; don't know that there's a rolling arthouse thread, or whether one's worthwhile.

I'll let snobbier film snobs answer the above. Just wanted to say that over the weekend I saw "Mon Oncle d'Amerique" -- super amusing.
― Virginia Plain, Tuesday, 15 March 2011 15:47 (thirteen years ago) link
Don't think Three Crowns is really the one to see, sorry. Hypothesis of the Stolen Painting or On Top of the Whale maybe.

tons of his I haven't seen, but my faves from the '90s are Genealogies of a Crime, Three Lives and Only One Death, and the Proust movie.
― Fuck bein' hard, Dr Morbz is complicated (Dr Morbius), Tuesday, 15 March 2011 16:48 (thirteen years ago) link
Yeah I start with "Time Regained" then " Three Lives..." Then track down "Combat D'amour en songe " (sic) which is stellar.

They have to add Spectacle. That little theater is showing amazing stuff. I subscribed to their feed and can barely tell when things are playing. They need a new website.
― dan selzer, Thursday, 7 April 2011 17:17 (thirteen years ago) link
Yeah, totally. Though it's still unclear to me how underground that place wants to be. They seemed super hush-hush at first, but they have received a bunch of fairly high-profile mentions since then, so who knows.
― C0L1N B..., Thursday, 7 April 2011 17:22 (thirteen years ago) link
I haven't been. It looks small...is it an OK place to see movies? Sometimes if a place is that small, I'm not sure if it's worth it!
― dan selzer, Thursday, 7 April 2011 17:24 (thirteen years ago) link
Ha, well it depends what you mean by "OK". It's very comfortable, but it's not agonizing either (a little more legroom than Film Forum, at least). It seems like a lot of the stuff they show is from torrents and run from a drive, which could be a problem, image quality-wise. Everything I've seen there has looked okay, but I've only gone a couple times. But it's cheap, and they show stuff you're not going to see projected anywhere else, which is enough for me.

This doc lineup is insane, includes most of my favorites of the past year (highlights: LA BOCCA DEL LUPO, FAMILY INSTINCT, EXTRAORDINARY ORDINARY LIFE OF JOSE GONZALEZ, AT THE EDGE OF RUSSIA, FAKE IT SO REAL)
Have heard great things about almost all of the narratives.

A bunch of great stuff at MoMA's Cinema Tropical thing this weekend. Historias extraordinarias and Tropic of Cancer are among the best movies of the last decade imo.

Sort of -- perhaps you read my 2.5-star review!
hoping to get to Historias on Sunday, if I've finished my work.
Haynes' Mildred Pierce also at MOMI, but that aint happening.
Monday at Film Forum, these are always fun:

The Arbor is good in a fussy, limited sort of way. Did anyone catch the trailer they were showing at FF? It strains hilariously to make the film look like an ultimately uplifting triumph-of-the-human-spirit kinda thing.
― C0L1N B..., Friday, 6 May 2011 20:29 (twelve years ago) link
The Arbor is FANTASTIC

I missed your review, M.--you need to shamelessly promote yourself on FB more.
Can't do Mildred at MOMI either, because I am seeing Mark Rylance in Jerusalem. We need a theater snob thread.
