Didn’t really vibe with Resurrection overall but in that segment with the con artist and the little girl, Bi Gan almost reaches the kind of profundity and poignancy I find in Kieslowski’s Dekalog

Shiguéhiko Hasumi flanked by former students Kiyoshi Kurosawa and Shinji Aoyama. From Oct. 9-18, Japan Society presents a long overdue introduction to the critic who "dramatically reshaped the course of Japanese cinema history"—from Ozu to Hamaguchi: japansoc.org/Hasumi

One thing I would like to highlight about Hasumi is that he’s an incredible prose stylist in addition to being a great critic. His essay “Cinema’s Agitation Device” consists of a single breathtakingly elongated sentence across 22 pages.

I attended an Anthology screening of Ken Jacobs’s 3D shorts and he came to speak afterwards. When asked about his opinion on Godard’s use of the technology in Goodbye to Language, he said “the guy doesn’t know what he’s doing.” RIP to one of the greatest American artists

Ever heard of muji?

At least in South Korea, Hou Hsiao-hsien completely eclipsed Edward Yang until the arrival of A Brighter Summer Day restoration. I don’t really see people talking about Oliveira or Garrel much these days, either.

What's triply funny about all of this is that Lav doesn't need a translator.

근데 씨네리가 몇 년째 자기네 영화 평론상 심사하면서 최우수상 안 주는 게 이제는 코미디쇼처럼 느껴지는 한편, 그 ‘최’우수상과 우수상의 차이가 뭔지 정말 궁금함

Sigh… the same handle on the other site and ig so follow me over there if you wish (but I’ll stay on here)

아니 <기생충>이 ‘좌파’ 영화라고 생각하는 사람이 그렇게 많은가? 신자유주의에 비판적 스탠스를 취하는 지점이 있지만서도, 난 철저하게 ‘리버럴’한 영화라고 생각하는데. 봉준호 필모 중 가장 좌익스러운 작품을 꼽아야 한다면 <괴물>이 되어야 하지 않을까?

Currently working on a piece about one of my favorite actors and I’m realizing how lazy and clumsy I have been with describing and analyzing performances in most of my published writing.

No one: Yt men at a post-screening q&a for an East Asian film : I’m going to ask my question in [insert East Asian language] Interpreter: 🙂
