@QuicksilverClay @IFCCenter Director Jia said many illuminating things in just 20 minutes about what he learns as he looks at and edits his films
Q&A following advance screening at @IFCCenter of “Caught by the Tides” with director Jia Zhangke moderated by critic Amy Taubin ( @AmyOrNot )
It mattered so much to Richard that Ben Brantley understood and wrote so expressly about his work.
Farewell to Richard Foreman, one of theater's most complete auteurs, who turned human uncertainty into the stuff of crackling, head-spinning spectacle. His annual, expert existential funhouses at St. Mark's Church were where you went to get lost. A titan has left the stage.
Back on "X" to see what people write about Richard Foreman and his head-spinningly magnificent work in the theater. I was fortunate to have witnessed it from the very beginning to the end. Recordings capture his voice, his obsession, but not the chaos. Nevertherless, WATCH.
Nifty piece on an overlooked film. But did you know that the idea for the mind-blowing tracking shot came from the co-writers, Peter Wollen & Mark Peploe, inspired by the 40-minute zoom in Michael Snow's "Wavelength."
Full house at the Walter Reade tonight for this 35mm screening of The Passenger. Many minds will be blown, courtesy of @filmcomment. screenslate.com/articles/passe…
Thrilled to do this, but this is an ancient bio. I resigned from Artforum many months ago.
Some news! Amy Taubin (@amyornot) - legendary NYC film writer & contributing editor of Artforum, @FilmComment and @SightSoundmag - will kick off BIG & LOUD 2024 by introducing the Opening Night screening of VERTIGO at 7:00 PM on Friday, August 23! Bit.ly/vertigoparisth…
"See you Friday Robinson" is a really interesting film and has the most moving self-portrait of JLG in all these late short films. Only played at MoMA in the US.
.@AmyOrNot speaks to Mitra Farahani, Jean-Luc Godard’s co-producer and the director of SEE YOU FRIDAY, ROBINSON (a 2022 doc featuring the iconic filmmaker), to discuss the #Cannes2024 selections SCÉNARIOS and EXPOSÉ DU FILM ANNONCE DU FILM “SCÉNARIO. filmcomment.com/blog/interview…

Agnieszka Holland is a great filmmaker and resistance fighter. The film could not be more relevant, not only to Europe, but where we are in the US today.
Agnieszka Holland's searing thriller GREEN BORDER is now playing! Read Holland's conversation with Amy Taubin (@AmyOrNot) for @FilmComment: buff.ly/3RObLdO
Bad debate nights happen. Trust me, I know. But this election is still a choice between someone who has fought for ordinary folks his entire life and someone who only cares about himself. Between someone who tells the truth; who knows right from wrong and will give it to the American people straight — and someone who lies through his teeth for his own benefit. Last night didn’t change that, and it’s why so much is at stake in November. joebiden.com
"Agnieszka Holland is fearless and uncompromising in her narrative & visual depiction of state sanctioned patriarchal violence and terror." Amy Taubin (@AmyOrNot) on Holland's A Lonely Woman @screenslate ow.ly/hYk150Scpza
I'm still apologizing for my conflation of the title of Catherine Breillat's debut feature UNE VRAI JEUNE FILLE with her third film 36FILLETTE. Both great and both will show in Film at Lincoln Center's Breillat retrospective.
First time I saw "A Real Young Girl"(aka "36Fillette") was in the Cannes market, early 90s, and there were two buyers in the room, jerking off. Brilliant coming of age film.
Bravo Janus! I saw A REAL YOUNG GIRL in the Cannes market in the early 90s. Just me and about ten men, all with their jackets strategically placed over their groins. Nothing pornographic except their imaginations. Wildly feminist debut feature.
Stills from the 4K restoration of A REAL YOUNG GIRL. Showing as part of "Carnal Knowledge: The Films of Catherine Breillat!" opening @FilmLinc 6/21.
It's amazing to me how many film critics do not understand or even respond to what great actors do. All of Jia's films including CAUGHT BY THE TIDES are encompassed in the single moment when Zhao Tao joins the runners, refusing to give up on the future.
There is a scene in CAUGHT BY THE TIDES where Zhao Tao is wearing a COVID mask in a store and you can read her delicate, fine-grained emotions from her eyes alone. She’s a continual wonder. Ridiculous that she didn’t win for MOUNTAINS MAY DEPART and/or ASH IS PUREST WHITE.
Bad match of word and image, I thought for a moment that the quote was about CAUGHT BY THE TIDES. Buried in the Film Comment Letter from Cannes is my interview with Mitra Farahani, which includes how she worked with JLG on four films. Someone please post.
"What flabbergasted me is that the film has champions, at least according to early reactions and the dubious measuring stick of the standing ovation (eleven minutes, among the longest of Cannes 2024 to date)." @bealoayza files a dispatch from #Cannes2024. filmcomment.com/blog/cannes-20…
I'm not in Cannes but I have seen Jia Zhangke's CAUGHT BY THE TIDES, and I can't believe there is a greater film in the competition.
Very sad news ahead of the closing ceremony #Cannes2024: Jia Zhangke just posted on Weibo that CAUGHT BY THE TIDES won’t win any awards tonight. He thanked all the rave reviews and encouragement and will start to work his next film soon
Is that how I first met you? This is a wonderful piece about Joan Jonas's astonishing MoMA retro.

No, I actually went back and looked at I and II again, and I think they are just vacant. Some directors have a slow learning curve.
To note, I generally love Amy Taubin’s writing and insights, but this comment just seems silly in retrospect.
