"These days, horror directors like to unsettle audiences with subterranean skronks and rumbles: none could equal the seismic impact of Hurricane Mama’s thirty-two-foot-long C pipe." (2/2)

"Disney Hall has marked Halloween by screening a classic horror silent with the mightiest imaginable soundtrack: live accompaniment on its sixty-one-hundred-pipe concert organ, which the composer Terry Riley once nicknamed Hurricane Mama." (1/2)

Hesarissa oli ihan ok sadan leffan lista, mutta siitä puuttui “olen nähnyt” napin vierestä sellainen EVVK-nappi.

I finally saw One Battle After Another (on 5-perf 70mm), and although its countless influences are hard to decipher in one sitting it’s like watching the best bits of M.A.S.H., Terminator 2, Vanishing Point, Nashville, and Putney Swope.

en tiedä pitäisikö olla enemmän yllättynyt siitä, että ny times tekee haastattelun näkemättä Love-elokuvaa vai että elokuvan juonikuvausta ei ole kahdeksan päivän jälkeen kukaan edes viitsinyt oikaista https://www.nytimes.com/2025/09/12/movies/oslo-trilogy-dag-johan-haugerud.html

harvoin annan hypelle totaalisen vallan, mutta olen uskonut vastaavan olevan mahdollista (jopa todennäköistä) jo ensimmäisestä teaseristä lähtien
Sulattelen vielä, mutta One Battle After Another taitaapi olla tämän vuosikymmenen SE amerikkalainen elokuva

Jim Jarmusch voitti eilen Kultaisen leijonan Venetsiassa! Edellinen todella merkittävä palkinto tuli esikoiselokuvasta – eli ehkä oli jo aikakin. “All of us here who make films, we’re not motivated by competition. But this is something I truly appreciate, this unexpected honour”
