All Purpose NYC ILX Film Snob Thread

after today, Divorce—Italian Style is only playing 9:20 pm at FF.

Get your Norman Lloyd tickets yet?

no, but I see they're available.

Yes, that's what I was trying to tell you.

o i c

Divorce was cute. Why anyone thinks it's GREAT, I'm not sure.

Saw it years ago, didn't make much of an impression. Wasn't he Oscar nominated?

yes, it got several; Germi too?

I hv my N Lloyd ticket.

Hoberman on Sembene (and Ophuls, briefly):

If I go to see Salo, should I bring someone to hold my hand?

I would recommend any NY snob to see Letter from an Unknown Woman on its last night @BAM tonight; it fulfilled all of my expecs.

I would recommend any NY snob EVERYONE ON THE PLANET to see Letter from an Unknown Woman

fixed

Salò makes an even more problematic date movie than Jeanne Dielman!

Ophuls and Sembene have taken over my December.

there were maybe 15 people at last night's 7:45 show of Guelwaar.

I am trying to figure out how to squeeze in Skolimowski's Deep End...

AFA is doing a full Weerasethakul retro in mid-Jan.

BAM is doing a Manoel de Oliveira centennial retro in Feb or March! I wonder if he'll fly in!?

Haha, at last year's NYFF-screening of Belle toujours, Kent Jones or whoever basically said "uh, you guys didn't expect him to be here did you?"

He came to the NYFF about 6 years ago. Still, he was a sprig of 93 then.

AFA seems to have retros planned for olivier assayas, charles burnett and albert brooks (!) as well

haha AND a new print of myra breckinridge!!

snobs, I think I can only make 1 tonight -- which? None are on DVD.

1) Camp de Thiaroye (Sembene) - saw it maybe 12 years ago, it's fine
2) Caught (Ophuls) - never seen
3) Deep End (Skolimowski) - never seen (last night of week run)

What time is Deep End?

7 & 9.

Ophuls is 7 only.

and I could only make 7:30 of Sembene (it's long).

I thought about running 10 mins to the F from BAM to get to Anthology, but the odds are vs that.

as close as these places all are to each other they are also NOT CLOSE ENOUGH

(probably not seeing any of those tonight, trivia)

I guess I will go to Ophuls and see if splices shorten the running time enough to dash to Deep End.

Any Joan Blondell fans in the house?

Otto!

Expect I'll see Daisy Kenyon at last tomw night, tho I've seen Laura plenty.

if i'd woken up at a reasonable hour today, i would probably be doing that

Patricia Neal and Jill Haworth will be introducing next Tuesday's 8pm show of In Harm's Way at FF.

If you feel like seeing some "Ford at Fox" on a big screen, which I'd recommend for some of the epics:

Seen any Paskaljevic? I liked Midwinter Night's Dream and cabaret Balkan, haven't seen any older.

Any Japanese film snobs interested in some 60s action at the Japan Society on Friday?

http://www.japansociety.org/content.cfm/event_detail?eid=4517028a

Japan Society shows some great stuff with the one caveat that sometimes the prints are not so good (and sometimes 16mm although this says 35mm)

that's true.

I likely won't stick around for that as we get outta work at 3 Friday.

thought you guys might dig these

"bergmans"

It's "Joe" weekend.

http://www.anthologyfilmarchives.org/schedule

Might try for shorts, tonight & tomw.

"Joe"? Joe Dallesandro or Peter Boyle?

I'm going to try for Syndromes and a Century.

yeah i still haven't seen syndromes, might try to make that sunday.

Von Sternberg?

OK, I get it.

I might need a second look, it really left me intrigued but dubious. Don't know if there'll be time tho.

How did I miss this thread?

Anybody catch the Béla Tarr films screening at Lincoln Center?

Finally saw The Mother and the Whore all the way through. Amazing. It feels like the last and best new wave film.

Josefa otm. But came to post that I am intrigued by Winter Kills at the Film Forum.

It's not bad.

But not as good as you might be led to think it is

Stoked to get tickets for the Oct 9 showing of Wiseman's Menus-Plaisirs les Troisgros at NYFF

^Annette Insdorf will introduce THE SARAGOSSA MANUSCRIPT this evening

Still holds up

And the intro was entertaining and useful
