Mine and Tallulah's take on Agnès Varda's La Pointe Courte (1955)
Français
@Chloe_in_pink I met someone our age—a media professional at that—who once said they didn't see the point in restoring old movies in HD. Their assumption about how old films couldn't possibly look good makes me think we forgot how good film always looked—and the HD generation might remember.
English
@Chloe_in_pink I've wondered about this myself, but I also wonder if home video might change it.
Our generation's first B&W experiences were on CRT TVs, which can make any old movie feel mustier. Now, youngsters can watch them on setups where CASABLANCA is as sharp as if it were shot yesterday

I wish he wasn’t right, but this is like 100% on the money. I remember my classmates in high school balking at Casablanca And Citizen Kane almost exclusively because they were in black and white (I was so sad hahahahaha)

Nicolas Cage says he suggested shooting ‘SPIDER-NOIR’ in color because “teenagers don’t have much experience with black & white.” “The dream is they watch it in color and then check it out in black & white, learn something and go ‘hey I wanna see some of these movie references.’ And then they just open a treasure trove of great American cinema.”

@christinalefou As screwball comedies teach us, without silliness the world would be a poorer place

Someone tell me that it's silly to fly to Nashville for two days so I can go see Bob Dylan play. It's silly. Right?

@TomiLaffly A Neon-distributed film getting a big prize is now a Cannes tradition, but I worry that James Gray getting screwed over is an even bigger Cannes tradition.
English
PAPER TIGER might be James Gray’s best film. Definitely my favorite of his along with TWO LOVERS. I hope he does not leave #Cannes empty-handed.

List of working American filmmakers who would open their movies with a quote from Aeschylus (alphabetical):
Gray, James

New James Gray apparently begins with a quote from Aeschylus, on brand

@brofromanother James Gray discourse 🤝 Greek mythology discourse?

@TomiLaffly That's terrifying! Any idea who they were or what they were after? Stay safe!

@SophyRomvari Ang Lee and Whit Stillman were pushing 40 when they started to direct.
Claire Denis debuted past 40.
Bunuel had made 3 avant-garde shorts/featurettes in his 20s and 30s, but didn't really start directing feature films until he was almost 50.
And, of course, Manoel de Oliveira.

Resist the sad trap of seeing fellow filmmakers as a point of comparison or competition. People become obsessed w/ timelines and milestones, but the truth is filmmaking is a long road w/ no clear path for anyone. The only thing that will make you a filmmaker is making films.
English
One of my biggest pieces of advise as a filmmaker is that it’s so incredibly important to have other filmmakers in your life with whom you can commiserate and look up to — it’s a very special and necessary type of support and guidance.
English
For the last 15 years, this has been my answer for "What classic do you want to see get a proper home video release?" Holy shit.

@swen_ryan The fact that STRAY DOG didn't open here until after HIGH AND LOW may explain why I've found it so underrated

History of Kurosawa Akira's US theatrical runs*:
*defined as when the film played in a New York cinema for one week

@BohemiaStable @nikgroz Considering that he got a prostate exam for David Cronenberg, got ravished in his sleep for Claire Denis, and ended up with excrement on his face for Robert Eggers, all for one shred of the arthouse cred the world gave K-Stew the moment she teamed with Assayas, he's earned it.
English
@nikgroz Robert Pattinson will somehow swim up from the wreckage with his reputation miraculously enhanced and a first Oscar nomination between his teeth.

Do not forget to go see this fine picture fellow travelers

You wouldn’t ignore the advice of David Cronenberg would you???? 😤

@BilgeEbiri The sanest DUNKIRK take is that finally someone came along who didn't want you to have to choose between SAVING PRIVATE RYAN and THE THIN RED LINE
English
Every time the Nolan Wars begin people act like it’s never happened before. Just try and remember all the insane takes we had to wade through about DUNKIRK.

@redroomrantings The year I was there I seriously lucked out...I accidentally stumbled into the B-roll of Roger Ebert's report and didn't know it until a friend saw the broadcast.

I'm busy scanning all the photos out of crowds out of Cannes to see if I can spot my beautiful friends.

@swen_ryan I was, sadly, one of only two people at my screening of CLOUD at the Nuart, but something is super fitting about Kiyoshi Kurosawa to watch his films both in public and essentially alone
English
Kurosawa Kiyoshi has now received the same number of US theatrical releases in the 2020s as he did in the first 35+ years of his career

@akstanwyck @Noirchick1 Excellent picks!
I also don't want to meet the person who isn't wrecked by the last 5 minutes of MERRY CHRISTMAS, MR. LAWRENCE
