IndieWire reports that Carlos Reygadas' Silent Light , which premiered at the 2007 Cannes Film Festival and has been sitting in distribution limbo in the US (likely due to Tartan's demise), will make its way to the Film Forum on 9 January 2009. They didn't name who was releasing the film (nor does the IMDb), but there's a possibility that it may be Palisades first theatrical release since acquiring...

Speaking of Victor Morton, I absolutely must link to his detailed, extensive, impassioned and admittedly spoiler-filled review of Carlos Reygadas's Silent Light (2007) -- which, incidentally, has been available on DVD in Canada for the past few weeks.

Romance in movies tends to be the preserve of the young and good-looking. If there are seven ages of love, cinema disregards around six of them. Just occasionally, in subversive films such as Carlos Reygadas' Japon (2002) or Hal Ashby's Harold And Maude (1971), filmmakers are bold enough to show relationships between the very old and the very young. As it's often remarked, leading men have a far longer...

A reminder: Carlos Reygadas' Silent Light, which is very unlikely to be bested as film of the year, opened at MoMA in yesterday. I rue, regret, am remiss over the fact that I haven't had the opportunity to see it...

Carlos Reygadas' Stellet Licht (or Silent Light) is a deeply problematic film as I argue in my review of it over at Videovista.It's one of those long-takes, everyone-is-miserable, everyone-sits-in-silence art house films that drives me round the bend as a...
