Les Occidentaux qui découvrent que le reste du monde ne considère pas Mao et Lenin comme des monstres. Votre prisme n’est pas universel

First sentence, sure, not the others: understanding is academic, quasi-scientific—in criticism, faux-objective. Criticism is also literary, subjective, prophetic, political, contentious; self-questioning is part of it, but the impersonal "maybe" is as reductive as thumbs up/down.

For my newsletter, I published my intro to Sweet Smell of Success I did in august. It is in French but has the option to be translated afilmdiary.substack.com/p/fr…

Last night I gave a lecture on La Jetee to a prison classroom and basically everyone in the class loved the movie. People who try to tell you that difficult or experimental art is only for educated nerds are wrong, that’s just shit that giant corporations want you to believe.

I'm not nostalgic for the midrange-budget drama: they came with so many strings attached that directors were tied down like Gulliver on Lilliput. It was a recipe for either applauded just-above-average successes or derided exceptionally good (via struggle and conflict) bombs.
Aaron Sorkin speaks on the demise of the mid-range-budget movie:
“This [The Social Reckoning] is my 11th movie, and except for A Few Good Men, I’m not sure if any of them would be feature films today; I think they would all have to be streaming.”

Felt very strange to see The Shining international cut (I wrote a short review why I didn't find it as good as the longer American cut) and to not see the scene with the doctor and Shelly Duvall trying to excuse her husband's abuse with the longest cigarette ash.

Exactly; both terms describe genres, and, as such, are a matter of marketing and convenience—useful, vague, elastic, non-exclusive, and, yes, to use your word and Bazin's, impure.

Excited to have an essay in the upcoming 10th Anniversary release of Train to Busan from Well Go. Really proud of this one, can't wait for you read it.

Okay, so here's the thing.
If you didn't read Bad Blood or the early WSJ reporting about Holmes (which I did, obsessively, because I am obsessed with scammers) you had a completely different experience of this movie.
You *cannot* have engaged with that media, and then

word around filmtwt is that the big halloween costume this year will be erland josephson's mr. alexander from The Sacrifice. fans will be donning the actor's instantly recognizable yin-yang kimono and re-enacting the "absolutely batshit" final scene of tarkovsky's masterwork.
