Darlings, I'll believe that when I can stream all those recently restored Fox Films titles. One at AFI and two at Capitolfest does not make the grade.

In response, the indie theater stopped using its subwoofers and turned down the default volume of its flicks to a “Level 4” out of 10
this may explain why viewings there are often mildly derailed by the honking chatter of people ascending the staircase to the apartments above

slow days in filmland so far but i'm looking forward to seeing Birds of Passion at Film Forum tomorrow. Embrace of the Serpent was a fave and though the plot of this one looks tired (do not care about drug cartel movies), I'll try anything they do after that.

started watching the first film by khalik allah; it's heavy heavy stuff... slow mo explorations of black faces and black bodies with too real conversation in background; all filmed in harlem. looks like avedon studies. give it a peek:https://vimeo.com/312790511

btw, Birds of Passion is spectacular; see it if you can.
I loved Embrace of the Serpent, looking forward to Birds of Passage
― Dan S, Tuesday, 26 February 2019 04:22 (five years ago) link
Couldn't be more different than Serpent in terms of approach and storytelling, but both are heavy on magical realism and both give deep credence and agency to the indigenous people that are at their stories' centers. Passage is a Shakespearean epic with spectacular music, stunning acting, masterful cinematography and probably seven to ten gasp-inducing visual moments; definitely going to be one of the best films I see this year.
