• On the Making of Films

  
  The Listening Ear — Authority: 113
  Someone was filming in Harvard Square tonight. I passed through, stopped for a burger, went on to the Harvard Film Archive to see Lisandro Alonsos Liverpool , with Alonso in attendance.

• Tropical Malady at 92YTribeca or WATCH IT NOW

  
  / HAMMER TO NAIL — Authority: 526
  As the decade winds to a close and I begin the nerdily fun process of making a pile of ‘best of’ lists, I’m confident that Apichatpong Weerasethakul’s Tropical Malady will show up when everything has been finalized. Tropical Malady is a haunting fever dream of a movie, in which Weerasethakul uses a ...

  shadowplay — Authority: 518
  More Hitchcock? I love the goofiness of this shot — not only a blue filter to turn day into night, but an iris effect to draw our attention to a particular car — silent movie technique collides with 60s television economy.You can motor over to the Auteurs’ Notebook and see what the trouble is.Posted in [...]

  Row Three — Authority: 514
  W hat we’ve been reading – October 30th: The Auteurs Daily: Debating Haneke (and Brecht) Ekkehard holds up Lars von Trier as an example of a filmmaker whose works – as opposed to Haneke’s, of course – live and breathe because they all but celebrate their inner contradictions.

  Heres Dominique Thomas and Ella Creton in Catherine Breillats imaginative, provocative, shocking, and hilarious adaptation of Perraults fairy tale, Barbe Bleue ( Bluebeard ).

  Some Came Running — Authority: 541
  A ballsy Georges Marchal gives his greetings to the local authorities in Death in the Garden, a 1956 Luis Buñuel oddity from right before his second great period. Why oddity? Its a French-Mexican coproduction shot in Mexico, from a French-language script in part by the great Raymond Queneau. Not a great favorite of ...

  The Listening Ear — Authority: 113
  Its hard to know exactly what to say about Lars von Trier - people seem to have been writing him off lately. Ive been writing him off lately - his 00s films have been generally disappointing - he seems to have been wandering in a wilderness this decade, making films that sound terrible clever, and play like pure ...

• Obviously Ive been mistaken for a much shorter man

  
  Some Came Running — Authority: 541
  Even in this online age, and its forgiveness of self-indulgence being such as it is, I feel a little sheepish talking about Alfred Hitchcocks North By Northwest , whose New York premiere occurred a mere two days before I myself was born. Because I feel that this is, really, the film that I grew up with. Although the ...
