Yeah, that's mostly because it's being promoted under its Portuguese title in France. Also because it's obscure.

Also, another reminder: Forbidden Lie$ is playing at Cinema Village and you need to see it. Without doing any research, really, i'm not joking.

Also, Time Out's review is painfully wrong, perhaps the worst blurb of the year.

"Yesterday's news"? Like WTF, did you even get the point of the film? Or watch past the first 25 minutes?

looks like i am going to see moon... blank city... the eclipse... defamation?
what else is good playing at tribs? honestly the line-up is not wowing me.
― s1ocki, Monday, 20 April 2009 15:18 (4 years ago) Permalink
is it true they "downsized" this year? their unwieldiness i found kinda offputting in the past

i am new to this and was totally thinking i could wait the long-ass time until denizens of the tri-state area could get tickets for things like whatever works. bummer. now i have to read through all the enthusiastic recommendations for horror imports.

85 films in it, down from 200+. I've seen 3 or 4, all underwhelming. Their press screenings are barely organized.
― Dr Morbius, Monday, 20 April 2009 17:01 (4 years ago) Permalink
anything in particular you're looking forward to morbs?
what have you seen?
― s1ocki, Monday, 20 April 2009 17:11 (4 years ago) Permalink
Rudo y Cursi - the "Tambien" brats in an even MORE insufferable comedy!
Easy Virtue - wrongheaded Noel Coward adap where they try to make the characters REAL.
Might try that Brit In the Looop today.
― Dr Morbius, Thursday, 23 April 2009 13:20 (4 years ago) Permalink
the line-up isn't that inspiring i gotta say. there's not that much to tempt me away from chillin with my nyc friends and eating things... one or two movies a day max

have you seen Treeless Mountain? or do you want to see Viridiana at Film Forum maybe Friday?

i haven't! and when is viridiana playing?
― s1ocki, Thursday, 23 April 2009 13:26 (4 years ago) Permalink
it starts at Film Forum on Friday. Treeless Mt just started there too.

also, there's a Shirley Clarke fest @ Anthology.

I can unreservedly recommend In the Loop, but IFC is releasing it in May.

Someone else told me the same thing. Thinking about seeing it at the FF members brunch, but might take the kids to see the Harold Lloyd instead.
― moe greene dolphin street (James Redd and the Blecchs), Friday, 24 April 2009 03:27 (4 years ago) Permalink
also John Hurt is very touching playing Quentin Crisp again in An Englishman in New York, but it doesn't approach the earlier film.

FF Members Brunch was lots of fun. Bruce outdid himself.

there's something on a blog about how it's been ghettoized into just the film center and sunshine, but will come out at some point. it's a masterpiece anyway: i like sorrentino's last two films plenty but could call him my favourite director after this - the function of the production design and cinematography, the language of the film, ahh.
― corps of discovery (schlump), Sunday, 3 May 2009 04:47 (4 years ago) Permalink
I liked, gave it 3 stars outta 4, but it's sort of limited -- you keep waiting for Toni Servillo to bend his performance to let more "naturalism" at least peek through, but the only new color after the first 5 minutes is that very theatrical confession scene.
Directors' Late Films @ BAM -- I'm thinking mostly about Cracking Up on Tuesday, then Aldrich and Wellman.

"the late film" is the only may repertory thing that i'm excited about. thoughts on godard's king lear?
― we were never being butthurt (donna rouge), Sunday, 3 May 2009 07:45 (4 years ago) Permalink
saw it when it came out; shrugged at it like most '80s Godard. The Burgess Meredith-Molly Ringwald scenes were at least ... something.
wow, Sarris & Haskell introducing El Dorado @BAM.
My friend Steve co-curated this MoMA series of silent comedy shorts at month's end with the magnetic title CRUEL AND UNUSUAL COMEDY!
http://moma.org/visit/calendar/films/948
Note: "Since these films touch on a number of potentially sensitive issues, each screening features an introduction that will provide context." Beware, blackface and woman-beating!
also, I plan on going to the Julien Duvivier film today at 5:30.
― Dr Morbius, Sunday, 3 May 2009 08:12 (4 years ago) Permalink
I've meant to see that one for years. Sometimes I even think I've seen it, but what I'm confusing it with is something called Pattes Blanches.
― moe greene dolphin street (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 3 May 2009 14:49 (4 years ago) Permalink
Wow, I guess that's Hildegard Knef in that still from Holiday For Henrietta.

Cracking Up looks good, but traveling to BAM always seems a bit excessive to me. I wish AMMI would reopen already. I may try Age of Consent though. Have Edward Said's "On Late Style" on reserve to prepare.
― Virginia Plain, Sunday, 3 May 2009 17:28 (4 years ago) Permalink
Age of Consent really isn't very good.
The best in the series might be Good Morning and L'Argent.
