not saying Spielberg is out of touch but it’s undeniably sentimental and nostalgic for DISCLOSURE DAY to show crowds gathering, spontaneously, in front of TVs to take in a unifying monocultural spectacle, as if it’s still June of 2026 amid the Knicks’ Finals run

rest in peace David Hockney, whose paintings i’ll treasure for their bright colors and blocky brushwork, their playful and erotic water imagery, the mysterious and electric circuitry of their self-regarding queer male gaze

Ira Sachs' THE MAN I LOVE, about AIDS, experimental theater, and nonmonogamy in 80s NYC, was a Cannes highlight & i was glad to talk to him about it, and how it revisits and remaps the themes of of his earlier films

“At the center of KEEP THE LIGHTS ON is what it was to be gay, and to come out, for me, in the ’70s. So THE MAN I LOVE is a transition film for me, because the work that I made before was driven by what was hidden.”—Ira Sachs to @MarkAschParody on his intimate domestic dramas.
