Wow! Netflix is apparently saving — at least temporarily — New York's historic Paris Theatre, for showings of MARRIAGE STORY. If they actually acquire and reopen the place, they will generate a *lot* of goodwill in New York film circles.

It would be a smart move, yes. it's a lovely theater but their curation has been mostly uninteresting since at least the turn of the century.

Lee Grant at FF... have never seen any of her documentaries, but it's strange that phase of her career seems forgotten.

Yeah. I didn’t recall that until I went to the FF site.

Korea '96-03 at LincCtr

woah this looks dope

They really are writing Kim Ki-duk out of the story, lol. Not complaining, would be much more interested in seeing those films.

Trying to remember the last Kim Ki-duk movie that even had any sort of cachet in the U.S. 3-Iron maybe?

He won the UCR award in Cannes in 2011, and the Golden Lion the year after. He also assaulted a lot of women, and has been consistently suing anyone who speaks out about it. Except for his former leading man, who basically confirmed the allegations.

Right, I'm just trying to remember the last time anyone seemed to gaf about his stuff in general here.

(Side note: Gah, the last three Golden Lion winners.)

i am financially strapped so i note a number of these are on Amaz0n Prime for free

about two weeks of Scorcese docs and non-fiction at Film Forum, December 6 to 17

Museum of Moving Image in Queensdoing an end of year curator's choice 12/20 to 1/12:

From festival favorites like The Souvenir, American Factory, Rafiki, Black Mother, and The Hottest August, to direct-to-streaming releases such as Homecoming: A Film by Beyoncé and Cutting My Mother, to theatrical hits like Midsommar: Director’s Cut, Ad Astra, and The Lighthouse, to underappreciated masterstrokes such as Peterloo and Our Time, a multiplicity of forms and formats nevertheless witnessed a commonality of high quality.

The 2019 edition of Curators’ Choice also includes personal appearances by filmmakers Ari Aster with Midsommar: Director’s Cut; Alex Ross Perry with Her Smell, Kent Jones with Diane, which stars Mary Kay Place, winner of Best Actress, Los Angeles Film Critics Association; Penny Lane with Hail Satan?; Brett Story with The Hottest August; Julia Reichert, Steve Bognar, and Jeff Reichert with American Factory; and with more to be announced soon. The series kicks off with a week-long 35mm engagement of Quentin Tarantino’s Once Upon a Time...in Hollywood.

might go to Peterloo (chose to let my subscription lapse, which i will make pointless by paying gen public admission)
