This is everything I love in a Top 100 episode. A deep dive into the themes and technical aspects of the film, along with the historical and cultural context, but with a breezier tone than I've just made out (if I can understand it, then anyone can).

Been watching lots of films about ghosts (spooky season innit), so L'ATALANTE for @top100pod.bsky.social homework is a nice change of pace.

Love that you describe this as a slasher. It absolutely is.

Farewell Claudia Cardinale.

I loved her in each of these, but if you’ve never seen them I particularly recommend Once Upon A Time In The West, and Rocco And His Brothers (the latter one is on BFI Player and Criterion). 💕

It’s superb! Louise de Vilmorin’s novella is excellent too, if you haven’t read it already.

Also, there’s a terrific podcast discussion of the film here (via @fatscoleman.bsky.social and Tim Robey).

Canceling a streaming service?

How about watching FREE silent films instead? I have the links!

Movies Silently @moviessilently.bsky.social · Sep 16

Bringing my FREE STUFF thread over.

Lots of archives, national film institutes, nonprofits and others have made collections of silent films available for free, no signup needed.

New trailer for THE SMASHING MACHINE, Benny Safdie’s bruising sports drama.
Gets across the visual energy, and the raw vulnerability of Dwayne Johnson’s turn as UFC pioneer Mark Kerr. Recommended!

Pleased to report that he enjoyed it (and was actually joined by his 10 year old sister for the majority of the run time). Also - fantastic release from the BFI, the Pet Shop Boy’s score amplifying the emotionality of Eisenstein’s visuals to new heights.
