"Prior to BODY DOUBLE’s release, De Palma had been hype-baiting the press for months: 'The media’s gonna go nuts. I’m gonna do all the things they’ve been critiquing me for!'" @vrizov on De Palma's trash-terpiece, on the big screen @MovingImageNYC tmrw.

Lizzie Borden’s kickass feminist, queer dystopia is one of the most fearless and inventive American indies ever made, a postpunk missive that rejects complacency and political compromise.

A litmus test for De Palma aficionados, BODY DOUBLE uses a Hitchcockian template to dunk things as far into a bucket of sleaze as possible—and re-emerges as a work of meta-genius.
Screens Friday, part of our new De Palma: Summer of Suspense series.

For @reverse_shot I went deep on what is surely the movie of the year: Patrick Wang’s A. Rimbaud. It was wonderful grappling with this magnificent film AND Rimbaud’s poetry, which I had not revisited in years since college. Playing tonight @RoxyCinemaNYC

Revisit @lawrencengarcia's NYFF review of Milagros Mumenthaler's gripping feature THE CURRENTS, opening this week.
12 Oct 2025
One of the less-hyped highlights of NYFF is Milagros Mumenthaler's THE CURRENTS, evocative of THE HEADLESS WOMAN and SAFE, but with its own unsettling rhythm and opacity. @lawrencengarcia reviews:
