has anyone caught any of the lin cheng-sheng series at AFA? saw two last night and enjoyed them both (murmur of youth = very un-typical first same-sex experience tale; sweet degeneration = tastefully done if slightly oblique man-on-the-skids-returns-to-alienated-family drama, with added incest subplot for good measure); the latter has tsai ming-liang regular lee kang-sheng in it, who i will watch in just about anything

doesn't James Mason walk barefoot on a Nee-gro slave in that one?
― Alfred, Lord Sotosyn, Friday, 22 February 2008 21:55 (sixteen years ago) link
no, he rests his gouty feet on a boy slave. I think it's a provocative, flawed corrective to GWTW etc.
90 minutes of old & new stuff Kuchar brothers' stuff @Anthology, Thursday at 7:30 only.
Mike Kuchar TALES OF THE BRONX (1970, 16 minutes, 16mm) “From the elephant house of Bronx Zoo to the eight-story-tall Tabonga Terrace apartments on Sedgwich Avenue, living Mammals scream for their place in the Sun and drop heavy brown excretions in pots of porcelain that splash and clog and suck like huge toothless mouths on the lily-white mounds that lower into the hollow half submerged ovals, creating stagnant damp vacuums that cling and grab.” –M.K.
George Kuchar BLIPS (1979, 31 minutes, 16mm) “An enigmatic movie that’s like an enigmatic enema.” –G.K.
Mike Kuchar ZOOLOGY (2006, 20 minutes, 16mm) “It is believed that Life originated in the Sea, and like the Ocean itself, human existence is thus subject to tides and surging currents of emotions stirred up by memory.” –M.K.
George Kuchar VISTAVISIONS (2007, 15 minutes, video) “A tribute to people everywhere who spread their glorious visions on canvases both large and small, beaded or lenticular, glossy or mat finished. A joyous celebration of lofty peaks and deep dished delights all basking in the limelight of luminous imagery from the visionaries of tomorrow who create today so that yesterday is not forgotten.” –G.K.
Total running time: ca. 85 minutes.

I can't deal with any of that, probably, esp as I am heading home tonight to watch opening day baseball. My only retro outing might be Planet of the Apes, and I want to see No Country while it's still in a theater.

Film snobs, please go to see Classe Tous Risques tomorrow at the FF, which I saw today. And yeah, of course you should probably watch Le Doulos as well.

I might go to that Mexican director's retro @Reade one night this week... Macario?

My second one that is. For some reason I got two.
That Roberto Gavaldón festival looks good, don't know if I will get to see any of it.
