“We’d never heard of this extra, but someone sent it to us so we put it on the disc no questions asked”… truly a professional company 🤪
Replying to @simonbrew @KinoLorber
We had never heard of the company or the extra, David Hughes reached out to our producer Michael Felsher, the company sent us the link and we added the extra. They were asking for a trade that never happened, instead of invoicing us for the extra, they took this route.

Andrea Arnold’s BIRD is out this Friday! See the film critics (me) are calling “lyrical and majestic” and “one of the year’s best.”whitlockandpope.com/2024/10/…
It’s true! @thethirdhan is bang on - this is a wonderful, magical film. I’ve heard a couple of people describe it as “lesser Arnold” - absolute nonsense, it’s one of the best of the year. Out on Friday - do not miss!
Social and magical realism merge in Andrea Arnold’s scintillating Thames Estuary fable about the friendship between a latchkey kid and a smiling wanderer searching for home.

Wild that @KinoLorber have been reduced to just stealing exclusive extras from other labels. Talk about not supporting physical media.

You are all wrong about Joshua Oppenheimer’s THE END, which is the best trying-to-ignore-the-end-of-the-world apocalypse delulu movie since Lars Von Trier’s MELANCHOLIA.

This is all true, and this movie is being sorely underrepresented in the Best Picture awards chat. My favourite of the year is The Brutalist, but… I think Conclave might be the actual winner.
There’s this "rule" in film editing: don’t show the door closing; just cut to the other side.
It's meant to be a reminder to avoid unnecessary or mundane sequences.
CONCLAVE ignores that entirely.
Characters pause, and shuffle around between lines, as their sneakers squeak on Italian marble. They actually eat and swallow food without cuts, and stop in the middle of important dialogue just to make a Nespresso in real time.
People are calling this a thriller (and I agree), but it's also a Vatican hangout movie. I couldn’t care less about the subject matter, yet I haven’t felt this engrossed in a film in a while. It's all the "fluff" that Berger includes that made everything really work for me. It has so much rich texture.
One of the best of the year - and it's because you see the doors close.
