Messe pour le temps présent
par Julien Marsa
« Aujourd'hui » est le troisième film du réalisateur franco-sénégalais Alain Gomis, après « L'Afrance » et « Andalucia ». Il fut présenté il y a maintenant presque un an au Festival de Berlin, et plutôt que de bénéficier dans la foulée de cette exposition médiatique, « Aujourd'hui » est visible depuis seulement une semaine sur les Continue Reading

These Are The Days My Friends These Are The. Days My. Friends.
Publicado el Enero 16, 2013 por Ed Ward
A couple of years ago I spent six months researching and writing a proposal for a book about the downtown New York arts scene, particularly as it existed in the neighborhoods that became known as SoHo and TriBeCa, from 1966-1986. My agent then did his best to try to sell it and was turned down Continue Reading

A Life in Pictures

By Andrew Horn
I was reading a review of “Django Unchained” today and the writer was talking about how Tarantino “was addressing directly the encyclopedia of [movie] tropes and riffs we've all been exposed to throughout our lives.” I haven’t seen the movie yet but for me I don’t need Tarantino to speak to me through Continue Reading

Okay, I have a big week ahead of me, so I'm going to let you lazy bas...errr, dear readers do the heavy lifting this week. This week I ran into three articles about three people who've meant a lot to me in my life, and instead of merely linking to them and blithering on about Continue Reading

French Film Scene: Gimme the Loot

Quelque part à New-York, l’été
par Julien MARSA
Il est absolument réjouissant de voir qu’un film comme « Gimme the Loot », présenté dans la section Un Certain Regard à Cannes l’année dernière, peut réussir à tracer sa route jusque dans les salles obscures françaises. « Gimme the Loot » se trouve être à des lieues des machines « auteuristes » empesées et Continue Reading

The Future: Curiously Like The Past
Publicado el Enero 3, 2013 por Ed Ward
A note to the wary: no top ten list, no recap of 2012, no prognostication is contained herein. Which ought to make it very unlike a lot of stuff cluttering up the Web today, as we dust off the holidays and get back to work. And with luck, you have work to do. Look around Continue Reading

Michel Gondry: Pleasure of the Unknown
Publicado el Diciembre 31, 2012 por tapehead
Along with David Fincher, Michel Gondry is arguably the most acclaimed of the music-clip-whizkids turned movie directors. This elite club also includes Anton Corbijn, Antoine Fuqua, Floria Sigismondi, Mark Romanek, Tamra Davis and Spike Jonze (part of a loose collective of kindred spirits with screenwriter-director Charlie Kaufman, a frequent collaborator with both Jonze and Gondry) Continue Reading

Apocalypse Now
par Julien MARSA
S’il est des cinéastes qui s’installent confortablement dans la redite, dont on peut tirer du plaisir à retrouver un univers familier et sans surprises, il y en a d’autres, comme Abel Ferrara, dont on ne sait jamais vraiment sur quel pied danser en entrant dans la salle. Il y aurait pourtant de Continue Reading

Breaking News: There Is No Santa Claus
Publicado el Diciembre 26, 2012 por Ed Ward
These things flare up like sunspots and then disappear again, and along the way, issues get raised, but often the ones in the spotlight aren't the right ones. To be more specific, last week's news about Instagram.
Now, I'm not completely sure what Instagram is, except that it's a social photo-sharing service that Facebook bought earlier Continue Reading
