I cannot emphasize enough that TRON: ARES is a pleasure to watch and to listen to, so much so that it almost (ALMOST) doesn't matter that it stars Jared Leto, who is not capable of the Keanu thing he's aiming for here. Reviewed: www.avclub.com/tron-ares-re...
Tron: Ares is a blockbuster from another decade, and that's not entirely bad
Tron: Ares has cutting-edge visual effects and snazzy digital cinematography, but some of its sensibility is oddly turn-of-the-century.

A great artist, a wonderful teacher, & speaking personally, a close friend for over 50 years. Linking to a piece I wrote to mark his 80th birthday.

The complete retrospective of Chantal Akerman's films at @moma.bsky.social offers two rare screenings of one of her greatest films, Portrait of a Young Girl at the End of the 60s in Brussels—not an autobiography but among her most personal works nonetheless:

One of Chantal Akerman’s Best Films Is in Legal Limbo
The Belgian-born director’s 1994 coming-of-age masterwork, about a precocious teen-ager’s romantic audacity, can’t be reissued because of its needle drops.

So happy to see you’ve chosen ButtonDown instead of the leviathan nearly everyone else joins with nary a thought….

Great news of a complete Terence Davies retrospective at MOMI Sept. 12-21; one of the few absolute and comprehensive filmmakers, he was treated like dirt by a U.K. film establishment that fostered bland consensus and so made far too few films, which remain underappreciated.
