3 things about Andrzej Zulawski’s POSSESSION
Possession [1981] 1. If Mark is barely around, where did the kid get his chipper English accent? 2. “Because you think you’ve given her supreme pleasure? You, with your Yin-Yang balls dangling from your Zen brain?” 3. An empty subway … Continue reading
3 things about Michael Winner’s THE SENTINEL
The Sentinel [1977] 1. “He looked like an adequate lover.” 2. Eli Wallach’s extraordinarily wide blue paisley necktie. 3. It appears that Jeff Goldblum’s voice was entirely redubbed by another actor. Another loser from Winner.
3 things about Raoul Walsh’s HIGH SIERRA
High Sierra [1941] 1. A dead body in a bed, no sentiment about it. 2. When we see her again Velma has a new hairstyle. 3. A bus to Las Vegas.
3 things about Rusty Cundieff’s TALES FROM THE HOOD
Tales from the Hood [1995] 1. Melting into a mural. 2. Suddenly his arm folds backwards at the elbow. 3. Tongue through the teeth.
3 things about Rupert Jones’ KALEIDOSCOPE
Kaleidoscope [2016] 1. Extreme closeup: a wad of chewed gum stuck onto its foil wrapper. 2. A stream of blood runs down his father’s head. “I don’t blame you,” he says. 3. Just below his knee, a blue plaster. Nicely … Continue reading

The Lusty Men [1952] 1. Two nickles in an old tobacco tin. 2. “I’ve got one piece of advice for you. When you sit down to a big dinner, loosen your belt. It’s more fun.” 3. He briefly looks in … Continue reading

3 things about Bertrand Tavernier’s JOURNEY THROUGH FRENCH CINEMA
Journey Through French Cinema [2016] 1. Undiagnosed tuberculosis during childhood. 2. Melville used the entire studio for shooting, including the hallways, stairways, the entrance, and the streets outside. 3. Sautet: “I didn’t make a film about the highway code!”

3 things about Shahrbanoo Sadat’s WOLF AND SHEEP
Wolf and Sheep [2016] 1. Playing in the river. Balloon pants. 2. Dung patties baking on the wall. 3. Chunks of meat portioned out into metal bowls. A beautiful, brave film.
