Rewatched a classic horror film tonight
They cut out the bit where I reminded them of the title of Moretti’s short film IL GIORNO DELLA PRIMA DI CLOSE-UP unfortunately *but* I have a tiny cameo when I hand them the dvd of some Johan van der Keuken films lol

Saw ExISTENz (which messes with my rule of writing film titles in all caps) for the first time and on the big screen today and walked out of the cinema with a huge smile on my face and a spring in my step ❤️

If this beautiful collage I asked Elena to make - bringing together Alain Guiraudie’s MISÉRICORDE and Richard Linklater’s HIT MAN - does not make you want to check out our new podcast, then I don’t know what will!

A real pleasure to appear on the @lwlies.com podcast this week, with Sophie Monks Kaufman and @leilalatif.bsky.social, to talk about LA COCINA, MISERICORDIA and Chabrol’s LE BOUCHER - which means I can finally share this still where Jean Yanne is at his peak open.spotify.com/episode/5LEv...

I could probably watch Max Ophüls’ LA RONDE over and over again for the rest of my life and be happy

The wide shots are of course incredible, with those hundreds (thousands??) of extras and these elaborate sets, but the close ups, my god, the close ups!!

The world is bad but I finally saw a film at the Cinémathèque Française tonight and it was a 35mm print of DW Griffith’s INTOLERANCE (all 196min of it with no intermission) with live accompaniment, in a packed theatre, and it cost me €7 and it was glorious

Tonight I saw the one and only Swann Arlaud on stage in Paris - a really beautiful production of Pinter’s Betrayal, all at once funny, silly, heartbreaking and sexy. I’m totally cool about it btw.

Somehow @elazic.bsky.social and I chose our birthday to watch ALL ABOUT EVE for the first time and we regret nothing - it is a, perhaps The, perfect film

HERE is a falsely bold film; it takes a decent concept (seeing all that happened in 1 place over years) & does nothing with it besides repeatedly hitting you over the head with its banal realisation that time is real, things change, shit happens. Epic in scope and lazy & facile in delivery & ideas.

This might be the best moment in THERE WILL BE BLOOD after all; a real, unplanned moment, that makes these characters suddenly a 1000 times more real, and colours the rest of the film, deepening it.

Rewatched THE COUNT OF MONTE CRISTO starring Pierre Niney, and it’s still a lovely bit of business but I remain baffled by the choice not to use this casting as a great opportunity to make the film a little bit funny! Also the count’s “mask” makes Niney look exactly like Louis Garrel.

Dream casting for the inevitable Simon & Garfunkel biopic, which could actually be an interesting film I think

No one told me that the original “I know it was you, Fredo” was “it wasn’t him, Charley, it was you” in ON THE WATERFRONT! I too feel betrayed.

THE ORDER made me think of THE SILENCE OF THE LAMBS, but only because the latter does what the former aims for much more successfully - namely it fits within its genre really tightly but also manages to transcend it to be atmospheric, strange and alive. On the other hand, this moustache.
