3 things about Basil Dearden’s KHARTOUM
Khartoum [1966] 1. A fondness for B & S. 2. Pistol-in-a-tinderbox device. 3. He reaches into the jar and lifts up the severed head by its hair.
“David Lynch: A Complete Retrospective” at the Music Box.
This week’s list at CINE-FILE includes a few words I wrote about David Lynch. Well, several words. There’s no use denying it, I’ve got Twin Peaks fever. I’ve been rewatching the entire series in anticipation of May 21.
3 things about Denis Villeneuve’s PRISONERS
Prisoners [2013] 1. Passed out on the floor. A war movie on TV. 2. “We’re not going to help him, we’re not going to stop him either. Let him do what he thinks he needs to.” 3. Continuous drawings on … Continue reading

3 things about Maximilian Schell’s MARLENE
Marlene [1984] 1. Kitsch and rubbish. 2. “It’s the best film because … it’s the best film.” 3. Her constant needling: 90 minutes, 90 minutes, 90 minutes. And the film is actually 90 minutes.
3 things about Busby Berkeley’s THE GANG’S ALL HERE
The Gang’s All Here [1943] 1. “How are you?” “I’m very well to do, thank you.” “Ah, you do very well, what you do do.” 2. Ketchup from a Brazilian tomato. 3. Neon-like curtain of water foreshadows the neon hoops. … Continue reading
