For this episode, we need to talk about terrible engineering, misogyny, education, and more.
So you’re telling me Steven Soderbergh’s taut new thriller stars Ian McKellen as the once-great painter and Michaela Coel as “a respected fine art blogger”? I am seated, as they say. I am simply too seated. Matt Zoller Seitz’s exciting review of The Christophers sent me to find the trailer, which seems fine and taut, … Continue reading "Soderbergh On Art, Bloggers"
Tuscan tourist associations should collect royalties on every ticket sold for You, Me & Tuscany, a glossy romcom in which every meal looks ready for its close-up and the countryside seems blessed by soft summer light. It's hardly surprising that the movie's Tuscan locations add convivial charm to a contrived story about a professional house sitter (Halle Bailey) who finds her true calling and also love in Italy. Bailey stars as Anna, a New York woman who dropped out of culinary scho...
A classic variant appears briefly in Spawn #250 (Image, February 2015).
🍿 It (2017) — the rare remake that is infinitely better than the original miniseries, and (together with the sequel) the second-best Stephen King horror story adaptation. Granted, it is not a high bar to jump over as they all tend to be stinkers.
Finally, I’ve capped off watching the Robert Taylor 1950s-does-medieval unofficial trilogy, directed by Richard Thorpe
2026-04-09Hello! Well, this is something.Last month, I got in contact with WikiPortraits, an international organization that captures photos of people for Wikipedia and its sister projects. They let me go to the New Directors / New Films opening night in New York to take photos, and let me just say: oh my god i have no idea what i'm doing.I've worked as an event photographer before — both paid (summer job with kids) and volunteer (school) — but this time I knew no one and felt thoroughly…
A modernist adaptation of Edgar Allan Poe. One of the first avant-garde films from America.
Pursuit of Jade is an exquisite viewing experience, even if the story is a little shaky towards the end.
A SHUDDER FROM THE PAST I came to this fresh from admiring two 76-year-olds , Anna Wintour and Meryl Streep, being painfully cool and haughty in a trailer plugging Devil Wears Prada 2. I was also foot-weary from accidentally … Continue reading →
There Goes My Heart (1938)
Constellations in Shadow Across the canvas of Austrian avant-garde cinema, where names such as Kubelka and Kren have long been rendered in sharp, declarative strokes, the work of Moucle Blackout flickers with a quieter, though no less vibrant radiance. Her work breathes in a mirrored room, only to be released again in altered form. To […]
Okay whole new movie, first things first, let’s check the extra featu—aw yiss, no Family-Friendly Version available this time, we’re gonna hear ALL the fish-cussin’, we had best prepare ourselves...
From a movie set on street in the Old Town, in Montreal. I love lighting through big silks on hard frames but the biggest one I have is 72 by 72 inches.

What does IMAX mean? You’ll leave Todd Vazari’s post none the wiser, but somehow, more informed. …it’s super clear what “IMAX” means.
PAPA KNOWS BEST An A-Z of French Cinema Before the New Wave E is for ‘The Eternal Return “We are poisoned and there is nothing we can do. We are poisoned and it’s wonderful. This is a beautiful poison.” It begins in a remote castle overlooking the sea. A castle in the present day, the […]
The AI Doc: Or How I Became an Apocaloptimist, is a documentary co-directed by Daniel Roher and Charlie Tyrell, who hope to make sense of artificial intelligence (AI). But tune into the trailer, and hear the likes of Sam Altman, Dario Amodei, and Denis Hassabis, and others, utter lines such as “if this technology goes […]
I still remember clearly the dagger to the heart in 2004 when Luna announced they were splitting up. They were my favourite band, in a simpler time when people declared such things, and I took the farewell tour as an opportunity to go on my first rock’n’roll road trip. A few days after seeing their […] The post Tell Me Do You Miss Me: A Film About Luna appeared first on Space Echo.
Synopsis: This flamboyantly poetic film includes two works of art: Livret De Famille and Carte De Vœux. A hallucinogenic voyage, psychedelic images float across the screen, of family and friends (Jean-Pierre Kalfon, Yves Beneyton, Valérie Lagrange…) as they share their adventures. A slight return to Cyrille Verdeaux via actor Pierre Clémenti. If you watch enough … Continue reading "Visa de censure numéro X"
