In honour of David Cronenberg's birthday (and because I haven't posted it On Here yet) here's my Criterion essay on CRASH, one of the major films of my life. www.criterion.com/current/post...

A mute filmmaker hires actors to play his parents in a series of recreated home movies to investigate their unsolved disappearance.

HOLE IN THE HEAD is now available to stream on IFI@Home and IFI International.

New on my substack, I wrote about Frederick Wiseman's disturbing 1974 documentary Primate and the limits of scientific vision. All the pieces on my substack are free but if you do have money to spare, a paid subscription would be much appreciated.

A real stroke of genius to cast William Shatner in #Columbo as an egomaniacal actor who's also a notorious ham.

When I was working at the IFI there was a recent and gorgeous scan from the anamorphic 35mm master. I wonder if this is the same version.

Nosferatu ‘89

I kept them with me babe / I put them with my own

My favourite Zulawski. Looking forward to this!

OLD KUNG FU MASTER was a massive project for us. Taking a nearly unusable print and turned it into what you see in the final photo.

You can get a copy of this nearly extinct film here: www.terror-vision.com/store/an-old...

Also the first time ever in its OAR.
