by RylandWalker Knight [Note the words at the bottom of the frame] This Saturday, the 4th, sees the beginning of PFA's Jean Eustache series, No Wave , with a screening of his most famous film, an epic of hurt, or so I'm told, called La Maman et la putain . Back in February, on his podcast, Mick LaSalle recommended the Bay Area go see the film and the theatre sold out. I don't think this blog post...
Jean Eustache's The Mother and the Whore has cast a long shadow over our movies since its 1973 release, but because it screens infrequently and because it remains unavailable on DVD (second-hand VHS copies start at $47.95 on Amazon) many young filmgoers know of it solely from a poster belonging to Jesse Eisenberg's character in The Squid and the Whale . The ne plus ultra of talky French movies, The...
"With its jarring formal economy in the service of a classic melodramatic tale of two brothers torn apart by a faithless woman, the film appears like some long-lost bridge between the radical end of American B-movie production (especially Sam...

This generally obscure movie deserves to be universally known. The narrative events in the film are extremely small-scale and modest, but Eustache gives them great weight by using them as vehicles for vivid sensations and...
"What exactly does one do when one lectures, and how is this practice related to other forms of cultural production?" Gleb Sidorkin on Thinking in Loop: Three videos on iconoclasm, ritual and immortality by Boris Groys, on view at...
The scariest entry on Mahalo’s list of Best Evil Robots? Definitely Evil Bill and Ted. The Tisch Film Review alerts us to Jean Eustache’s Circle, a weekly series at New York’s French Institute/Alliance Francaise beginning April 1. “Folks, this is essential viewing,” says Alex Ross Perry. Oh, the irony: this Blue Velvet inspired cake looks bloody, but [...]
The French Institute, they of the horribly wrinkled screen, has sprung an impressive little retrospective on us with very little notice. Tuesdays in April will be devoted to Jean Eustache's Circle , with films by Eustache and other culturally related filmmakers. Most readers will probably be familiar with Eustache's devastating La Maman et la Putain (April 29 at 12:30 and 7 pm), which is not so rare...
