Todd Haynes

saw it again a couple years ago and really enjoyed it, tho i would've preferred a fake marc bolan biopic to a fake bowie biopic.

I don't like glam rock, but I like VG (except for the Bale reporter stuff).

20th anniversary DVD of Poison coming out soon.

TH and Jon Raymond working on a film about red-state politics:

Much like Safe:

To direct Reese Witherspooon as Peggy Lee, from a script by... Nora Ephron?

Haven't seen Safe in almost exactly twenty years; I checked the Blu-Ray out of the library. In certain shots Moore looks like the alien from the Sigourney Weaver flicks.

The only element that's didactic is the synth score.

if safe were made today -- and set in the present day, or even in the very recent past -- i'm sure the governing metaphor would have to do with the internet and surveillance.

in fact, i think the remake with kristen wiig is about precisely that.

first glimpse of Carol, his adap of Highsmith's The Price of Salt

(oh yeah, Rooney mara replaced Mia Wasikowska at some point)

I hope he hasn't done something too conventional. I prefer him a bit wilder.

Cannes roundup

As a snob who couldn't care less for Bob Dylan, and who pretty much discards a filmmaker when oscar likes him, is it worth diving into his films?

not sure i'd rank anyone ahead of him as the best American narrative filmmaker of the last 20-25 years (Spielberg is in the ballpark)

I'd agree with that. Frederik, I'm pretty sure you'd love Safe.

safe is the one

any but that

[Safe] > Superstar > Dottie gets spanked > I'm not there > Far from heaven > poison > The velvet goldmine.

I haven't seen Mildred Pierce.

Superstar
Velvet Goldmine
I'm Not There
Far From Heaven
Safe

Is how i'd rank em. Didnt finish mildred pierce.

Cant remember if i've seen poison tbh

Dottie should be after I'm not there and Far from heaven tbh. I was being a little too hardcore there although Dottie is excellent.

You should know better than diving into this 'snob' business.

Carol is such a Haynes project..been years since I read it.

Todd Haynes is already planning his next foray into sumptuously photographed dissatisfied women. According to IndieWire, the director is planning a TV limited series based on The Source Family, the real-life hippie cult profiled in the 2013 documentary of the same name.

“Amazon Studios is nearing a deal to finance, produce and distribute writer-director Todd Haynes‘s Wonderstruck, which will reunite the director with Julianne Moore,” reports TheWrap‘s Jeff Sneider. “Based on the children’s novel by The Invention of Hugo Cabret author Brian Selznick, Wonderstruck follows the intertwined narratives of two deaf children, Ben and Rose. Ben lives with his family in Minnesota in 1977, when a mysterious note prompts him to run off to New York following his mother’s death. Rose, who is locked in a house in 1927 New Jersey, also escapes to New York to see her idol, film actress Lillian Mayhew.”

initial mixed Cannes takes

Sounds interesting. I never got around to Carol

Todd Haynes! You technically polished bastard who leaves viewers emotionally cold! How the hell are you? pic.twitter.com/WYRK9GKJj3

emotions, feh

if i want a sublime transcendent experience that moves me to my core, obv there's always De Palma

Cool.

"cold"

lol

I thought Carol was a snooze fest but this new one sounds right up my alley.

Yeah I found it so boring.

!! http://www.pitchfork.com/news/todd-haynes-to-direct-new-velvet-underground-doc/

have loved all of his music-related features unreservedly, so v curious about this

yeah super excited about this!

has anyone here seen Wonderstruck yet? or has it only played at Cannes?

2 other fests to date

http://www.imdb.com/title/tt5208216/releaseinfo

The spectrum of the Wonderstruck reviews is pretty fascinating, from "his worst" to "the film he was born to make."

https://www.criterion.com/current/posts/5021-the-daily-nyff-2017-todd-haynes-s-wonderstruck

don't see how he can top Carol

Really? It felt dry and desiccated to me on my only look.

I couldn't stand it; I choked on whimsy.

I preferred it to Far from Heaven, at any rate.
