THE WORKS AND DAYS (OF TAYOKO SHIOJIRI IN THE SHIOTANI BASIN), one of the key films of the decade, is playing in New York this weekend, as essential and staggering as it gets:

It championed films no other big publication championed. I’d wish for other big pubs to fill the void, but, yeah, that won’t happen. They either wouldn’t care enough to or wouldn’t know how. #GapingHole
