    STARS AT NOON (Claire Denis 2022)

    Resetting a Denis Johnson novel set in Nicaragua in the Eighties to the present, early pandemic time, Claire Denis makes this film feel richly erotic, dangerous, and atmospheric, but loses some of the political logic. Anglophone critics have not liked this. But it won the Grand Prix at Cannes.
    When it comes out in France in May 2023 local critics may appreciate the sensuality more. The fuzzy plot and long run-time began to pall during the last of the 135 minutes, but this . With Margaret Qualley, Joe Alwyn. Now available on Hulu.

    THE INSPECTION (Elegance Bratton 2022)

    Autobiographical feature about Marine boot camp for a Black gay man escaping from ten years living on the street after his mother kicked him out for being gay. Flawed but powerful debut. It debuted at Toronto but was featured as the Closing Night film at the NYFF. Now in theaters. Metascore 73%.

    THE ETERNAL DAUGHTER (Joanna Hogg 2022)

    Some call it lightweight, a "minor" work by the director, a "slow cinema" drag. Yes it is uneventful and slow but I found it devastating, its use of one remarkable, long-time-collaborator actress, Tilda Swinton, to play both the filmmaker and her aging mother who go on a trip to a hotel in Wales, a building long remembered, to celebrate a birthday, a brilliant and haunting ploy whose meanings resonate long after.

    ONE FINE MORNING/UN BEAU MATIN (Mia Hansen-Lřve 2022)

    A beautiful film, one of the director's finest. A young woman (Léa Seydoux, dressed down and never better), whose husband has died, raising a small child, dealing with the disintegration of her scholar father (Pascal Greggory) from neurodegenerative disease, has a passionate affair with a married man (Melvil Poupaud, also fine). Highly recommended. US release Friday Dec. 9, Sony Picture Classics.

    EO (Jerzy Skolimowski 2022)

    The saga of the life of a donkey inspired by the 84-year-old Polish director's emotional reaction when he saw Robert Bresson's AU HAZARD BALTHAZAR was introduced in Competition at Cannes and has met with accolades. (A dissenting view.)

    ALL THE BEAUTY AND THE BLOODSHED (Laura Poitras 2022)

    Winner of the Golden Lion at Venice, this documentary is an epic collaboration with noted snapshot aesthetic photographer Nan Goldin that depicts her life, her art, and her campaign against the Sackler family whose Purdue Pharma produced OcyContin, the forerunner of the opioid epidemic and to which she was at one time addicted. Her organization P.A.I.N.Sackler staged a series of museum happenings aimed at stopping public art spaces from accepting donations from the Sackler family or displaying the Sackler name. They have had success. Was Centerpiece Film of the 60th NYFF Oct. 3. Now in limited US theatrical release.
