... I wish I'd made a note. About thirty minutes, I guess. Maybe as little as twenty: - Huston and Bogdanovich and a car loaded with film crew - Huston at...
Based on something Stefan told me and Joseph K., I thought he might not show Other Side in NY. BTW, Stefan doesn't just do Welles. He screened at Joseph K's ...
In addition to his work on Tati and Welles films, Stefan Droessler is making good use of his New York visit to present LOLA MONTES at Film Forum, for one...
The MONTES restoration is controversial because Marcel is being a dick about it, but from seeing just the last shot - and hearing it - at Joseph K's last year,...
Newmarket's Mel Gibson-helmed religious phenom rung up an estimated $117.5 million since unspooling Monday, $76.3 million of it over the weekend. Elsewhere,...
Coming soon: "The Passion of the Frodo." Crucified Hobbits -- it's got everything. ... __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Get better spam...
"Sort of"? Not at all.He doesn't review the film, he reviews those who would object to it. He reviews our "secular" culture and (surprise!) finds it wanting. ...
... But even the footage from THE DEEP (which I enjoyed) pays a lot of attention to foreground-background opposition, and sometimes uses background to create a...
... This may be a long shot, but CITIZEN KANE:THE OTHER SIDE OF THE WIND::THE STRANGER:THE DEEP I get more mileage out of Welles' experimentation, although I...
I passed on the LOLA MONTEZ monograph last night's screening of the utterly stupendous print from the Munich Filmmuseum's restoration, and was wondering if...
Tag Gallagher wrote a good piece on Ophuls for Senses of Cinema, and the Cahiers Auteurs series book on Ophuls by someone named Guerin is good. Sarris's entry...
The BFI's "Ophuls" monograph, edited by Paul Willemen and published back in 1978 has "For and Archaeology of Lola Montes" by Masao Yamaguchi. It's pretty good,...
Dan, I'm sure this will sound sophistic, but the fact that The Deep contains foreground/background compositions just means Welles was working with what he had...
I saw part of it and was greatly annoyed -- as I am with almost all biopics of this ilk. The lead looked like Natalie Wood but didn't act like her at all. The ...
Whatever flaws the script may possess, I thought the filmmaking was pretty impeccable and overall I was quite moved by the piece. In particular, I thought it...
I liked it, too, and I didn't think she was shown as a passive character. Of course, at 2 hours the film is mainly a reflection on mortality: Life sure goes by...
... I've been looking myself. The short articles by Truffaut (collected in THE FILMS IN MY LIFE) and Sarris (collected in THE PRIMAL SCREEN) are both...
... Dan, what you were saying reminded me of an intriguing sentence in Kehr's VERTIGO capsule from the Chicago Reader: "The famous motif of the fall is...
... Not for me, because Walbrook and Werner largely take over Ustinov's function in this section of the film. This is especially true of the sequence where...
And let me just repeat, since it has come up again, that the falling pov shots in Le Plaisir and Lola are imitated in Clockwork Orange, when Alex goes out the...
... In the Kubrick yes, but I remember the shot right in the LE PLAISIR the camera runs up the loft steps of the studio apartment, then goes out the window,...
... There's something close to it near the beginning of LA SIGNORA DI TUTTI: a POV shot of an ether mask descending on the heroine on the operating table. -...
This should be particularly gratifying to US list-members who still go to the multiplex. It has nothing to do with Welles or Kubrick or Ophuls, but it's still...

Speaking of Marcel Ophüls and his "sanctioned" version of 'Lola Montez' (or as Marcel will maintain, 'Lola Montès') -- I spoke with Drößler in the lobby...
My tongue is hanging out for information about this new version. What changes from the one we know did you note? What of plans for future screenings? ... ...
I was very impressed by the direction by Bogdanovich, even though I'm sure there were many factual errors scriptwise. In fact, the last half hour was some of...
