Btw I meant to post about how much I hated mustang, just seemed unjustifiably exploitative and manipulative and utterly disregarding of characterization or depth. Kind of offensive portrayal of some very disturbing issues imo

I learned one main thing from that podcast, and that is that I can't stand Taubin. The talk about whether the travelogue was 'a film' was amazingly awful.

Saw Strange Victory on Sunday in Brooklyn. Fine liberal, integrationist propaganda, drew a good crowd. Also impossible not to be depressed about in the current historical moment.

It's worth seeing. The review mentions Rivette, and yeah, there's a couple of that kind of sequences, and they're great (and by far the greatest thing in it).

My totally unsupported assumption is that they are a passion project.
IFCis trying to add six more screens.
