Saw Vortex (1982). Lydia Lunch is just funny. It made me wonder if there was any way she could have become a legit film star. It's like she had everything but technique.

Yeah, it's really worth seeing in a theater. Sounds really interesting with the other independent documentaries, hope I get the chance to see them someday.

I didn't know Icarus Films was distributing it nationwide... might be dicey seeing it theatrically in the city after MoMA tho, forks.

The Marquise of O and other period Rohmers at BAM:
http://www.bam.org/film/2015/period-rohmer
― skateboards are the new combover (Dr Morbius), Friday, 28 August 2015 18:12 (eight years ago) link
Alice in the Cities is great and Kings of the Road is even better. I should have seen more when they were in Copenhagen, but didn't have time. Saw Marquise of O recently to see how much it looked like Amour Fou. The answer was quite a lot, but a lot of that is decor and costumes. What I've heard about Perceval - metal trees! - and The Lady and the Duke - early digital - makes me really interested. But just in general Rohmer is one of my major blind spots. Still.
― Frederik B, Friday, 28 August 2015 18:36 (eight years ago) link
Would love to see Perceval but think it would take a miracle.

Gold of Naples seems like an overlooked major work to me -- Toto, De Sica, and Sophia Loren are all stupendously funny in it, and there's a possible career performance in it by Silvana Mangano.
― skateboards are the new combover (Dr Morbius), Monday, 14 September 2015 03:41 (eight years ago) link
Definitely want to see that. With that cast it seemed like it was either going to be a misguided misfire or an overlooked whatsit like you said.

wd def recommend Ekman's The Banquet tonight at MoMA, altho i was nodding throughout last Saturday bcz of goddamn drug-induced sleep debt. Ekman and Eva Henning give great performances portraying a S/M marriage from hell.
also, '60s WW2 "missions" in 35mm: Where Eagles Dare (Burton, Eastwood) at BAM tonightThe Guns of Navarone (Peck, Quinn, Niven) at Loews Jeresey City, Friday eve
― skateboards are the new combover (Dr Morbius), Wednesday, 16 September 2015 19:53 (eight years ago) link
btw Navarone was the top-grossing film of '61. i probably have only seen it panned & scanned on TV. Also in JC this weekend, Welles & the Rat Pack:

I know architecture documentaries aren't the most filmsnobby of films, but NY Design & Architecture Festival is next week, and I saw Concrete Love - The Böhm Family, and it's quite honestly one of the best films I've seen this year. Made by a 27 year old dude, who has worked on the film for five years, following 93 year old Gottfried Böhm and his architecture family, mostly just a collection of vignettes, where some are based on boring talking heads, but some are these amazing visual ruminations on creativity, aging, love, etc. It uses that visual style that Wim Wenders tries to do with his latest documentaries, but where Wenders never gets it to work imo, in this film there are several passages that are just completely stunning and new.
If this guy can get more funding, then in a couple of years he's a big name, and then you can say that you knew him from his first film!!

Saw The Club yesterday and loved it, prefer it to No. I'm going to see Aferim sunday, will report back. A new Porumpoio like The Treasure is always a mustsee. Tale of Tales didn't really work for me, and A War is awful crap.
