here’s the trailer from abel ferrara’s 1981 exploitation film about a beautiful mute girl, and the tumultuous events surrounding her over the course of a few days in the pre-Giuliani-sex-ridden new york city. starring the late zoe tamerlis-lund, she gives a hilariously awkward and sexy performance. ferrara can be a bit too gritty for me sometimes, but having the pleasure of seeing this over the weekend with great company was certainly a night of joy. by sv
hide your mothers. the film involves seduction of friends mothers by best friends. daring and curious. adore is a 2013 australian-french drama directed by anne fontaine staring naomi watts and robin wright. the film is based on a novella by british writer doris lessing. worth a watch. by ars
anyone with two eyes and even the teensiest morsel of a brain was/is a fan of chris cunningham and his tremendous and often off-putting music videos for such artists as madonna, aphex twin, bjork squarepusher, and portishead amongst others. cunningham’s wife, jenny lee lindberg is the bassist of warpaint, an extraordinary musical act with whom he’s been working on this documentary for nearly two years. here’s the teaser trailer for love is to die. can’t wait to see the rest. by sv
watched the short documentary on brando by the maysles brothers on (the alternative to netflix for lesser known clips and films) fandor. a must for any marlon fan. by uh
i know beckett isn’t for everyone, but i still laugh out loud every time i read waiting for godot; and of course, what’s not to love about buster keaton? a pastiche of buñuel, gary baseman, cocteau and hitchcock with an impulsive disposition. film is a film to preserve experience and cohesively explore beckett’s paradigms through the movements of a silent genius. by sv
poster for the paul henreid directed film starring ms. ruth elizabeth davis herself. henreid and davis also starred together in now, voyager; one of my all time favorite films, and the one to launch henreid as a romantic lead. i’ve never seen dead ringer, well, besides the cronenberg of a similar name, but this poster is certainly intriguing.
