Looking forward to AZOR this weekend.

Enjoyed Microhabitat - Jeon Go-woon’s debut film. One of the user reviews compared it to Frances Ha - and it is an interesting thought.― Luna Schlosser, zondag 28 november 2021 1:12 (four days ago)

One thing: seems to me they used to give advance notice which films were coming in a series but now they are often more cagey, so Pierrot le fou but then what.

Thought about going to see The Hand of God yesterday but didn't. Maybe next week.
― Goofy the Grifter (James Redd and the Blecchs), Saturday, 4 December 2021 16:38 (two years ago) link
Went today. Not sure how I feel about it.

I saw it this weekend, and was rather annoyed. But I knew going in it was another specimen of film industry navel-gazing.

Enjoyed this week’s selection.
― Raw Like Siouxsie (James Redd and the Blecchs), Saturday, 11 December 2021 00:20 (two years ago) link
Featuring a real virtuoso performance and not just scenery-chewing like three weeks ago.
― Raw Like Siouxsie (James Redd and the Blecchs), Saturday, 11 December 2021 00:39 (two years ago) link
But I somehow managed to avoid Léa Seydoux up until now so maybe I am easily impressed.

And the hits keep coming

Just got an alert about some Jacques Demy shorts expiring.

Azor is a very good period movie set in the Pinochet era. Swiss banker and his wife following a colleague who disappeared. It's a horror movie in places.
― calzino, Thursday, 20 January 2022 23:20 (two years ago) link
Yeah. That’s been on my list for a while/pvmic
― Tapioca Tumbril (James Redd and the Blecchs), Friday, 21 January 2022 01:05 (two years ago) link
It's a very good film indeed.
― Ned Raggett, Friday, 21 January 2022 01:10 (two years ago) link
it's look and eerie mood sort of reminded me a bit of Il Divo, particularly that ungodly Monsignor character.

One thing I don't understand: They seem to own the distribution and streaming rights for Benedetta in the US as well as the UK, but one can't actually stream it through MUBI US. At some point there were some some things you could pay for outside of your regular membership but I don't see that anymore.
― Solaris Ocean Blue (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 20 February 2022 02:36 (two years ago) link
Maybe the don't own US rights, onliy UK.
― Solaris Ocean Blue (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 20 February 2022 02:37 (two years ago) link
In any case maybe watching Ms. 45 would be a good substitute.
IFC has the US rights. Wikipedia sentence is a little confusing: "That same month, MUBI and IFC Films acquired the distribution rights to the United Kingdom, Ireland, and the United States respectively."
― Solaris Ocean Blue (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 20 February 2022 02:40 (two years ago) link
Or maybe fragment of sentence that showed up in search was confusing.
― Solaris Ocean Blue (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 20 February 2022 02:50 (two years ago) link
Also keep seeing them talk about The Worst Person in the the World, no idea when I can see it in the US.
― Solaris Ocean Blue (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 20 February 2022 16:31 (two years ago) link
Oh wait, it's playing at Film at Lincoln Center. Not sure I can get over there anytime soon but it's a possibility.

Was blown away by the new film Zero Fucks Given, starring Adèle Exarchopoulos. The first half brilliantly conveys the ruthless regime of working on budget airlines mixed with the vapid and dreary 'luxury' leisure time in holiday resorts. The second half gets below the surface. A really outstanding performance.
― Luna Schlosser, Thursday, 31 March 2022 23:14 (two years ago) link
Oh yeah. Saw that pop up in the queue and was intrigued. Also may have used my MUBI GO today. More later.

ZFG looks good but how come in English, where’s the V.O.? Maybe they shot two at the same time like in old days or maybe it’s actually just the way they did it.
― Never Mind the ILX, Here's the Blecch Pistols (James Redd and the Blecchs), Friday, 1 April 2022 13:15 (two years ago) link
Oh, Adèle E was also in Sibyl which I quite liked, with Virginie Efira, although I still haven’t seen Benedetta.
― Never Mind the ILX, Here's the Blecch Pistols (James Redd and the Blecchs), Friday, 1 April 2022 13:22 (two years ago) link
I watched ZFG in French with English subtitles. Definitely what I’d recommend as her voice is an integral part of the performance. (If I’ve understood the issue correctly)
― Luna Schlosser, Friday, 1 April 2022 13:42 (two years ago) link
In the US it seems to be an English-only version. She seems to be doing her on dialogue, it is not dubbed, but still.
― Never Mind the ILX, Here's the Blecch Pistols (James Redd and the Blecchs), Friday, 1 April 2022 13:45 (two years ago) link
Maybe I will ask them. They seem to respond to their Instagram.
― Never Mind the ILX, Here's the Blecch Pistols (James Redd and the Blecchs), Friday, 1 April 2022 13:46 (two years ago) link
Message sent. Let's see how this plays out.

Ahed’s Knee is what I saw in the theater. Really well done. Think I will finally get around to streaming his other stuff, especially since Synonyms just showed up on Criterion.
― Never Mind the ILX, Here's the Blecch Pistols (James Redd and the Blecchs), Saturday, 2 April 2022 13:09 (two years ago) link
MUBI USA responded to my query!
― Never Mind the ILX, Here's the Blecch Pistols (James Redd and the Blecchs), Saturday, 2 April 2022 19:56 (two years ago) link
They reminded me that it was in English AND French.
― Never Mind the ILX, Here's the Blecch Pistols (James Redd and the Blecchs), Saturday, 2 April 2022 21:34 (two years ago) link
Anyway, this may be a good follow-up to having binge-watched The Flight Attendant on HBO Max.
― Never Mind the ILX, Here's the Blecch Pistols (James Redd and the Blecchs), Saturday, 2 April 2022 21:37 (two years ago) link
Good selection today on MUBI USA. About to dive into ZFG now.
― Never Mind the ILX, Here's the Blecch Pistols (James Redd and the Blecchs), Sunday, 3 April 2022 18:37 (two years ago) link
ZFG exactly as you described it, thanks for the tip!

Saw THE GIRL AND THE SPIDER last night with MUBI GO. Catch it if you can.
― Anita Quatloos (James Redd and the Blecchs), Tuesday, 12 April 2022 14:15 (two years ago) link
And this week WE'RE ALL GOING TO THE WORLD'S FAIR. Kind of a Noize Board Blair Witch Project. Very interesting.

One of the main characters almost has the same moniker as an ILX0r.

Christian Petzold and Delphine Seyrig leaving MUBI US at the end of this month.

This week’s MUBI GO US really good, HIT THE ROAD
― Wile E. Is President (James Redd and the Blecchs), Tuesday, 3 May 2022 12:12 (one year ago) link
Directed by Panah Panahi, son of Jafar.
― Wile E. Is President (James Redd and the Blecchs), Tuesday, 3 May 2022 13:15 (one year ago) link
Probably the best one yet, and that's saying something.
― Wile E. Is President (James Redd and the Blecchs), Tuesday, 3 May 2022 13:20 (one year ago) link
Hmm, updating the MUBI app messed up some of my downloads. No real worries though.
― Wile E. Is President (James Redd and the Blecchs), Tuesday, 3 May 2022 13:26 (one year ago) link
Sorry, this special is not available in your country
― Wile E. Is President (James Redd and the Blecchs), Thursday, 5 May 2022 18:30 (one year ago) link
Had to update a few more times. Hopefully the download problem is finally fixed.

Also went to see THE TSUGUA DIARIES courtesy of MUBI GO and it totally lived up to its billing.

Think I saw Peter Guralnick walking around Lincoln Center but didn’t have time to chase him down.
