Great to see a packed house for the premiere of the restored CAN SHE BAKE A CHERRY PIE? at NYFF this weekend. A full circle experience of director Henry Jaglom’s friends, family, and world back on the big screen after losing him earlier this week.

Henry Jaglom, the maverick auteur who crafted deeply intimate and unconventional films that explored the intricacies of relationships and the quirkiness of human behavior, has died. He was 87.

If “Weapons” has you newly mad for Madigan, go deeper into her fashion thieving and scene stealing alongside Tilda Swinton in FEMALE PERVERSIONS.

While we’re talking about the marvelous Amy Madigan again, I have to share this photo of her + Ed Harris refusing to stand for Elia Kazan’s lifetime achievement Oscar because he named names during the Blacklist era - in a world of empty celebrity statements + gestures, this still goes so hard.
