David Lynch’s final theatrical feature was also his most surreal and formally audacious film since his 1977 debut. Don't miss INLAND EMPIRE when it screens on October 2, part of our @reverse_shot presents series. 🎟️: movingimage.org/event/inland…

Love Me Tonight, @MovingImageNYC at 1 in 35mm, has one of the great soundtracks—indelible songs (by Rodgers and Hart) and musicalized dialogue, lively singers (Maurice Chevalier and Jeanette MacDonald); Rouben Mamoulian's direction is busier than stylish; still, go and hear!...

I wrote about TEENAGE SEX AND DEATH AT CAMP MIASMA for @reverse_shot. I think it is an extraordinary film - a dizzying, unabashedly kitschy stoner rom-com. I sung its praises + did a temp check on "Trans Cinema" below: reverseshot.org/reviews/entr…

Some words on Take Care of My Cat, one of my longtime letterboxd top 4 and among the greatest Korean films of this century so far, for @reverse_shot. Thank you @kani_releasing for bringing this gem to North America at last!

Re: THE ODYSSEY: I don’t think the IMAX works. I have other, similarly ambivalent thoughts, and towards the end they get spoiler-y, so proceed accordingly.

One of the great films of early 80s, and a cornerstone of the cresting wave of low-budget American independents, SMITHEREENS remains a still-potent transmission from a grimy-beautiful lost New York. See Susan Seidelman's smashing debut feature on July 26: movingimage.org/event/smithe…
