Your interest and your appreciation mean a lot to me. I appreciate that what I do, though my way of life now, is a luxury. Hopefully it doesn't take very long to read one of my reviews. They're...

That's the Zen of acting.

I'm glad you decided to include LAWRENCE OF ARABIA but when I saw it I was in Arabic school and I was disappointed that it had only two bits of Arabic, "Hut hut hut" (which is hardly Arabic) and...

Thanks for the favorable comment on Armand White. I may post his latest annual "Better Than" list, which seems more sane and mainstream arguably, this year.
I am aware of Pedro Costa from Lincoln...

It looks like a very interesting film and a great one to see in connection with Sam Mendes' 1917, which I just saw and reviewed (I've revised my ten best list to include it). Some thought the...

Armond White's new list of the best ten films of the 2010's.
Armond White is always interesting and provocative, sometimes just off the wall. His black, gay, Christian, conservative POV accounts...

Thanks a lot. It's nice to be appreciated. I don't know about "psychological insights." I do like to be clear and informative and I may, at times, succeed. Just go on reading, please, and...

I have not seen it but I am aware that Criterion is issuing some great Japanese film classics.

Nice to hear from you, Cinemabon.
I hope you're cruising the daytime lines too and perused some of the festival coverage.

Ah ha! You're there.

Thanks, Oscar. From what I read, reading Zama is quite a project (though it has been much read). You read Spanish. If I did, I might tackle it. I have a big poster of the film enshrined in my...

I saw the stage version of Threepenny Opera a long time ago. I hope you saw my review of The Big Sick. That New Yorker article provides good background.

Great. Not giving up this thread though.

As I said, you could put such comments on the 2018 Oscars and awards thread
HERE
Then people would see it and it'll be in a thread dedicated to the topic.

They were, maybe, but there was a backlash, and three days ago they announced they'd reversed the decision to announce those Oscars during commercial breaks. See...

Those prizes don't seem to be highlighted at Canes either. In fact I don't think they even have prizes for cinematography and editing.

Maybe Agnès Godard is the most known, but there are a dozen more, as you'll see if you Google "women cinematographers." I wonder what awards they have won, apparently plenty also.

They are great, I enjoyed them a lot and have just rewatched BURNING at home with a lot of pleasure. I don't know the details of their post-theatrical release, I hope people will watch for them...

Thanks, Oscar. I hope these disk releases will move to rental availability because I don't buy disks just to watch a film except in very rare cases.
Cinemabon, Egypt, you're referring to me? Yes...

P.s. I hope somebody will read my New Italian Cinema reviews in the Festival Coverage section, just completed reviews of all the films. But the series isn't till the end of this month so you have...

Early Anthony Asquith - is there any way we can watch them?

A typo, no doubt. It's 1928.

I can sympathize for your audience, but not sight unseen. I have watched and reviewed Norte: The End to History as you recall in Filmleaf as part of the 2013 NYFF. That's worlds away from the...

I think comparing Lav Diaz's boring, pretentious Norte to Yang's quiet autobiographical film is a stretch. As I said in my comment on rewatching A Briter Summer Day I still prefer Yang's hour-shorter...

Thank you. I'll take a look at it, and, as I said, I have the whole film on my Netflix rental list.
