Claire Denis

Doesn't Beau Travail scoring so highly in the S&S poll mean she's still in some kind of vogue (genuine question!) Or does it cement her as a prolific artist whose recent work is doomed to be compared unfavourably with her greatest hit(s)? White Material - a sobering 13 years ago - is the last one that really did it for me, and I still think it's a bit neglected.

I liked this quote from her in a recent Sight and Sound:

To meet Marguerite Duras was to go to the kitchen and learn how to cook

stars at noon worked for me ~ it nicely captured the confusing nature of an accidental new relationship btwn qualley & allwyn's characters w the similarly confusing geopolitical backdrop--one's left uncertain of anothers motivations at every turn idk i think it pulled it off tho i can def see ppl dismiss this

plus the tindersticks title track is lovely

Cinema Guild announced that the new Blu-ray for “35 Shots of Rum” is being corrected because the wrong movie was pressed on to the disc.

Some buyers who pre-ordered it have received it, and upon playing said disc, the movie is hilariously “Road House” with Patrick Swayze.
