To note, I generally love Amy Taubin’s writing and insights, but this comment just seems silly in retrospect.

No, I actually went back and looked at I and II again, and I think they are just vacant. Some directors have a slow learning curve.

Is that how I first met you? This is a wonderful piece about Joan Jonas's astonishing MoMA retro.

I'm not in Cannes but I have seen Jia Zhangke's CAUGHT BY THE TIDES, and I can't believe there is a greater film in the competition.

Bad match of word and image, I thought for a moment that the quote was about CAUGHT BY THE TIDES. Buried in the Film Comment Letter from Cannes is my interview with Mitra Farahani, which includes how she worked with JLG on four films. Someone please post.

It's amazing to me how many film critics do not understand or even respond to what great actors do. All of Jia's films including CAUGHT BY THE TIDES are encompassed in the single moment when Zhao Tao joins the runners, refusing to give up on the future.

Bravo Janus! I saw A REAL YOUNG GIRL in the Cannes market in the early 90s. Just me and about ten men, all with their jackets strategically placed over their groins. Nothing pornographic except their imaginations. Wildly feminist debut feature.

I'm still apologizing for my conflation of the title of Catherine Breillat's debut feature UNE VRAI JEUNE FILLE with her third film 36FILLETTE. Both great and both will show in Film at Lincoln Center's Breillat retrospective.

"Agnieszka Holland is fearless and uncompromising in her narrative & visual depiction of state sanctioned patriarchal violence and terror." Amy Taubin (amy taubin) on Holland's A Lonely Woman @screenslate ow.ly/hYk150Scpza

Bad debate nights happen. Trust me, I know. But this election is still a choice between someone who has fought for ordinary folks his entire life and someone who only cares about himself. Between someone who tells the truth; who knows right from wrong and will give it to the

Agnieszka Holland is a great filmmaker and resistance fighter. The film could not be more relevant, not only to Europe, but where we are in the US today.

"See you Friday Robinson" is a really interesting film and has the most moving self-portrait of JLG in all these late short films. Only played at MoMA in the US.

Thrilled to do this, but this is an ancient bio. I resigned from Artforum many months ago.

Nifty piece on an overlooked film. But did you know that the idea for the mind-blowing tracking shot came from the co-writers, Peter Wollen & Mark Peploe, inspired by the 40-minute zoom in Michael Snow's "Wavelength."

Back on "X" to see what people write about Richard Foreman and his head-spinningly magnificent work in the theater. I was fortunate to have witnessed it from the very beginning to the end. Recordings capture his voice, his obsession, but not the chaos. Nevertherless, WATCH.

It mattered so much to Richard that Ben Brantley understood and wrote so expressly about his work.
