Just got home from seeing Actress. It's quite good. Both Robert Greene and Brandy Burre were there, talked a lot afterwards, they are pretty talkative people. Ne me Quitte Pas, which has gotten a few nominations, is worth checking out as well.

so did I! Was very wary of the subject matter, and was impressed with the permission it gave you to consider that BB was a huge fucking mess/asshole much of the time. Probably my favorite doc of the year so far along with Naked Room and Fifi.

is she using the doc as her "reel"?

He, that was a good scene wasn't it? 'Oh that's the sex scene, don't think we need to see that...' I don't know if she uses it as reel, but she said it changed her life, and apparantly she is working with people in New York. Oh, she was in Listen Up Philip, which Robert Greene also edited, wonder if she thought we would know that.

i just caught up w/ only lovers left alive this past weekend. i enjoyed it, though i think it ran out of a lot of steam after mia wasikowska (sp?) left. not because her character necessarily enlivened the film so much as i think it just ran out of whatever slight narrative momentum it had built up, and the visual inventiveness flagged a bit too. maybe "inventiveness" is too strong a word for jarmusch mostly running through his favored poses.
i do think the idea of ageless vampires as the ultimate hipsters is a really funny and surprisingly rich one, at least as far as ideas in jarmusch films go. the film did about as much with that as i would have hoped in the first half of the film, then it began spinning its wheels. the last sequence was pretty great, though something about the framing of the final image felt off to me.
― I dunno. (amateurist), Tuesday, 25 November 2014 19:27 (nine years ago) link
i really liked the visually disorienting opening shots
even more than his other films the film felt like an amused semi-autobiography. jarmusch is the ultimate hipster gadfly, carefully maintaining his cred through generational and other shifts. he probably feels a little bit like the main characters of his film by now.
― I dunno. (amateurist), Tuesday, 25 November 2014 19:28 (nine years ago) link
It ran out of steam for me too but it was by far the wittiest and most engaged Jarmusch I've seen in years, maybe ever. Ideal fusion of subject + form.
― guess that bundt gettin eaten (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 25 November 2014 19:42 (nine years ago) link
Yeah, it's about record collectors. The damned, truly.

In the Indies' queer ghetto I prefer Test to Ira Sachs' Make Way for Old Married Gays in Sweaters.

OK, Armond.
― guess that bundt gettin eaten (Alfred, Lord Sotosyn), Tuesday, 25 November 2014 19:52 (nine years ago) link
it was the first decent jarmusch since parts of "ghost dog." actually i think i liked it better than anything since "mystery train," but i haven't revisited "dead man" or "night on earth" in a long long time so that's not a judgment i'd stake anything on.
ultimately i think all of films after "stranger than paradise" are basically redundant, but that doesn't mean they don't have their pleasures.
― I dunno. (amateurist), Tuesday, 25 November 2014 19:54 (nine years ago) link
all of HIS films, i mean
it'd be funny if i thought that "stranger than paradise" was truly the end point of cinema.
― I dunno. (amateurist), Tuesday, 25 November 2014 19:55 (nine years ago) link
Given so much of Sic's list matches my own, and given Cotillard's participation, I'll give that one a shot.

A facile comparison. Except for a mildly craven dream sequence, Test is first-rate; it has nothing to do with Sachs' movie except in how well it shows gay life unfolding. I would've thought Test's white San Fran dancers would irk you just as much.

Idk I enjoyed it. Rinko Kikuchi is pretty wonderful.

Facile comparisons are the only ones worth making.
I gen don't have problems with gays in period pieces. I've never seen a film use its last shot in publicity/media photos as much as Test does, tho.

Leviathan seems to have really connected with UK arthouse audiences (it won best film at the London Film Festival this year, too); it's an impressive film in many ways, but there's not much that's submerged about it. The Return was a better, more oblique film.

A lovely, winsome Blythe Danner performance and Sam Elliot's sexy rumble are at the heart of I'll See You In My Dreams, a snappier than usual Hallmark Channel movie (and in the eighties James Garner would've starred).
Watched Spotlight: good, with a couple impressive moments. Not as effective as Zodiac cuz visually it's dead (Fincher would have at least shown Boston's insularity by showing how close the Globe building is to Michael Keaton's high school earlier and more gracefully).
