i saw "like father, like son" and "stranger at the lake" and was struck by how both allowed insider access to cultures and settings utterly outside of my world. both are recommended but the former requires some patience with watching intensely cute kids have their hearts broken and the latter requires patience with watching men blow each other

I remember the US release of this Margarethe von Trotta film in '81 under the title Marianne and Julianne. Tonight at Spectacle in W'burg, MvT and Barbara Sukowa (!) will be introducing it at Spectacle in Williamsburg.

I've said this before, but Strange Little Cat is a fine little film. I'd see that one as well. It's really not what the description says it is, in my opinion, but it's fine.

ok. I tend not to note what ppl say about a lot of non-US films until there's an immediate opportunity to see them in New York.
― images of war violence and historical smoking (Dr Morbius), Thursday, 20 February 2014 20:38 (ten years ago) link
Oh, it's not that. It's just that I've only seen a few films outside of the main arthouse stuff, so I've probably mentioned stuff like Closed Curtain, Harmony Lessons and Strange Little Cat way too often... They're all good, though.

A highly perceptive critic on FB:
Film Forum should put the words YOU ARE NOT SUPERIOR TO THE MOVIE onscreen between shows, in gigantic text, and occasionally have some voice of authority read it aloud. Maybe Morgan Freeman.

having just joined film forum, i am kinda bemused at how louche and luxuriant the culture in the theater isTitus is hella crusty and IFC is very brusque; FForum was about nobody leaving the theater because everyone wanted to explain the movie to their circle of friendsi am all about egg creams and chocolate orange bundt cake while watching previews tho

oh man, when i first came to NYC as a couch surfer moma was showing films starting at 10am and going until around 10pm in the titus and they were doing a history of film series. I basically lived there and was by far the youngest regular. saw probably a hundred films amongst the elderly. pretty great experience; i have a deep fondness for that theater and its antics... at a showing of birth of a nation there was at least a good hour of heavy snoring from different parts of the room. it was a unique soundtrack

Once a man at the Film Forum complained to me about people complaining to him about his loud popcorn eating. I didn't say anything. They were probably right.I dislike the people loudly discussing the ending of one part of a double feature as others are just entering to begin with the other.Love the crazy olds at MOMA. I am not an aggressive shusher so I appreciate those who are. Those same people used to be at AMMI or MOMI or whatever they're calling it now.

for something like Auteurs Gone Wild, you can always find someone who writes “Perhaps Countess (from Hong Kong) really is Chaplin’s greatest work, his most personal and poetic.”

Yup.
Enjoyed that Kent Jones piece you posted upthread about similar thing. Also recently read some interesting stuff by this guy who was in the Vulgar Boatmen, Robert B. Ray. He is a bit of a gadfly, with lots of interesting ideas, although he thinks the entire Douglas Sirk revival was a case of Auteurism Gone WIld- now that's going to far.
In other news, saw the opening night feature at the NDNF- it's a hit! Rode up on the train next to a top critic (hint he was once accused of "freaking out on arthouse acid".) Introduced myself and talked to him a little bit, he was very nice.

Not a chance! I've never seen any of the films he's actually made, either.
I will admit to LOLing at the trailer when he said he didn't read the book but his friend said it was great.
