Cinematical Movie Club: Heathers

The Cinematical Movie Club is a new weekly feature where we pick a film, watch it and then discuss it. Feel free to read our introduction for more info. Heathers is near and dear to my heart. It marked the first step towards my adult preferences, as I broke out of the kiddie fare and slowly journeyed into the world of more discerning taste. (My pre-teen self thought Grease 2 was a superior film to...

'The Last Days Of Disco' Director Whit Stillman Wants To Go To '60s Jamaica

Whit Stillman has been out of the spot light for a long time. He made a trio of excellent films in the '90s -- "Metropolitan" (1990), "Barcelona" (1994) and, perhaps the most well-known, "The Last Days of Disco" (1998). The three movies form a loose trilogy based in part on the writer/director's life. At the [...]

Sundance 2010: Katie Holmes, newly minted dramatic star?

The film, with its depiction of a group of poetry-quoting young aristocrats, channels some of Whit Stillman's less enjoyable impulses.

Eric Rohmer, RIP

Somehow I missed the news that Eric Rohmer died earlier this month. Rohmer was a part of that movement of critics-turned-directors that we call the French New Wave, but while most of his Cahiers comrades came from the left, Rohmer was deeply conservative. As Victor Morton writes in National Review , Rohmer is one of the few directors (Whit Stillman is another) who make films about how being "a...

Rohmer If You Want To

That Eric Rohmer, who passed away this morning, was both critic and film auteur seems as unsurprisingly organic as the manner in which his movies interpolated text and image, philosophy and drama. In 2006 I quit my first post-college job after suffering a minor breakdown; I spent the following penurious summer on the couch, gathering my wits in the spirited glow of Ray, Ozu, Kiarostami, Sirk, Dreyer...and...

R.I.P. Eric Rohmer (1920-2010)

The great French filmmaker was a sly but sympathetic observer of human folly, forever attentive to the ways intelligent and articulate people tend to over-analyze everything, even their own emotions, and very often wind up talking themselves out of opportunities for happiness. He was at the vanguard of the French New Wave during the late 1950s, alongside Francois Truffaut , Jean-Luc Godard and other...

Agatha Christie’s Pale Horse

Reading Christie’s The Pale Horse and struck again by a couple things in Christie. We think of Christie as chronicling the 30s, and that’s what most of the horrible TV remakes have focussed on. But for Christie it wasn’t nostalgia, it was a real desire to engage and dissect a contemporary world. The Pale Horse continues [...]
