All Purpose NYC ILX Film Snob Thread

it was a tough choice but i am opting for Akerman's La Captive at BAM

also a fine choice!

'golden eighties' was terrific btw

in case you missed it:

The Film Society of Lincoln Center‘s announced that Nicolas Rapold is new editor of Film Comment, following the departure of Gavin Smith. And Michael Koresky will take on a newly created position, editorial director of the FSLC. He’ll “oversee planning, strategy, and development of all editorial content for the organization as well as for Film Comment and its platforms.” Rapold‘s posted word that he, FC managing editor Laura Kern and digital editor Violet Lucca are “already hard at work on expanding and deepening our coverage, maintaining the high standards of film criticism which you’ve come to expect over the past 50-plus years, and developing new ways of sharing the fruits of our labors with you.”

cool, two more white guys

well, I don't know that FSLC can be called a culprit in that field, as their exec director is a woman, and Dennis Lim is director of programming.

koresky is a good guy and a good choice

ooh! i dunno any of those

I've been jumping on his stuff fairly regularly since Woman Is the Future of Man, but there are several i've missed.

More currently, I don't seem to have mentioned the Universal 1928-1937 series at MoMA, including the restored James Whale sequel to All Quiet on the Western Front:

Quick ranking of the seven I've seen. I enjoy his less structuralist tales the most, It's all about the long takes and the beautiful digital images. And the soju!

1) Woman on the Beach
2) Our Sunhi
3) Nobody's Daughter Haewon
4) Tale of Cinema
5) HaHaHa
6) Hill of Freedom
7) In Another Country

Was anybody able to get tix? Lol

didn't even hear about that

highly recommend people catch kaili blues if they can

I watched In Another Country the day before Christmas Eve in 2012 and three members of the seven-person audience walked out at the twenty-minute mark (I liked it).

over the weekend, saw Sembene's Black Girl at BAM (first time on the screen) and Dovzhenko's Earth at PACE with DakhaBrakha providing the music (stunning)

oh this

hard boiled tonight and i can't believe it hasn't sold out yet

I tried to rewatch that at home maybe 2 years ago -- after loving it in the '90s -- and couldn't get past 30 minutes.

You going to see The Fallen Idol tonight?

That's so easy to see, and I heard the actor who played Phile on L Lopate yesterday.

Two Edw L Cahn Universals at MoMA -- one with Pat O'Brien as a wife killer!

NYAFF lineup announced http://www.subwaycinema.com/

I don't know how to begin to pick through that lineup.

Genre films directed by women at Film Forum... that means no friggin' Nora Ephron!

http://filmforum.org/series/genre-is-a-woman-series

yeah, that lineup looks good to me

what i meant is i literally don't know any of those NYAFF filmmakers

sorry, i meant the film forum lineup looked good.

ah ha

Kiyoshi Kurosawa seems the biggest must-see, though I don't think he's been that great since Tokyo Sonata. Journey to the Shore was a pretty big disappointment for me. I'll definitely go see it when I can, though.

Keyframe with a film-by-film roundup of the Hong retro, which starts tonight

Will Harvey the K be there?

does he even live in NY? and did he just do one with him?

Thought he lived in the same fancy TriBeCa residence as the Brother McMullen and his model wife.

i am not up on the residences.
