Mabou Mines will delight to this foundational work, a film that Lee Breuer filmed in Paris in 1968 -- and his son completed a half century later. I wrote about it for @nytimestheater: nytimes.com/2025/02/26/theat…

Theater Company’s Lost French New Wave Film Gets Its New York Premiere (Published 2025)

Future members of Mabou Mines produced the footage over 50 years ago. Now it’s a film with new dialogue spoken by children of the original cast.

Time to pick April's #Criterion viewing! I have already seen (deep breath) UGETSU, SOME LIKE IT HOT, CHUNGKING EXPRESS, BASQUIAT and ANORA, so it's down to a pair of Claude Berri period epics and an early Sean Baker. Thanks!

I may be showing my age here but I thought once you made it to Oregon you and your family no longer died of dysentery.

Fairly massive CHALLENGERS, SUBSTANCE and I SAW THE TV GLOW spoilers, so hold off if you need to, but this may be @davidehrlich's best countdown yet.

I'd give anything to go back to a barter system. Which suggests I wouldn't fare well under a barter system.

Time to pick December's #Criterion viewing! I've already seen 8 1/2 and NO COUNTRY FOR OLD MEN, so it's either an 1980s film from Wim Wenders or Sammo Hung, or a more recent offering from Bertrand Bonello or Ryusuke Hamaguchi. Thanks!

If I ever came up with a line as good as the various GREAT GATSBY adaptations "miss[ing] the green light for the trees," I would get it tattooed on my forehead. @Helen_E_Shaw just plunks it in the middle of a review and brilliantly moves on. newyorker.com/magazine/2024/…

“Give Me Carmelita Tropicana!” and “Gatz” Beat On Against the Current

The playwright Branden Jacobs-Jenkins and the performance artist Alina Troyano summon downtown’s wild spirit, and Elevator Repair Service revives its signature hit.

Time to pick November's #criterion viewing! I've already seen SEVEN SAMURAI and THE SOUND OF WATER, which leaves Ishiro Honda, Howard Hawks, Neo Sora, William Wyler (with one of the few major Broadway adaptations I haven't seen) and Peter Bogdanovich. Thanks!
