Another Green World: May 2007
http://mhulot.blogspot.com/2007_05_01_archive.html
Tuesday, May 29, 2007. This weekend was spent submerged in Jacques Rivette's Out 1. A massive work with a slender plot, the sheer length of the film/mini-series allows an acclimation to the rhythms of the film and of its characters that other, more plot-driven epics can't. As a result, Out 1. Grows more engrossing as it progresses, as opposed to Lord of the Rings. Or even a 3-hour Hollywood blockbuster, which can be hugely exhausting experiences. And arguably Celine and Julie. Itself.) I'm not sure w...

Sunday, April 29, 2007. Links to this post. Friday, April 27, 2007. Links to this post. Tuesday, April 24, 2007. Have you watched Rich Little's routine from the White House Correspondents' Dinner? And "If you overdose on Viagra, do you have trouble getting the coffin lid closed? There's also the song about how he's "gonna poke a lot of fun/ poke a lot of fun at Washington." He sings it in between each presidential impersonation. Groan. And yet, I can't turn away - the fascination of painfully...My favori...

Another Green World: July 2010

Sunday, July 18, 2010. Bava and the spectacular. It isn't easy going back to normal movies after watching a few by Mario Bava. The exquisitely delicate (yet always, always kind of tacky and garish - lovely) color and lighting design seems to mark Bava as one of the few filmmakers who really learned something from Eisenstein's second Ivan the Terrible. Links to this post. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom). Bava and the spectacular. Michelangelo Antonioni's Zabriskie Point. Bong Joon-ho's The Host. View my comple...

Another Green World: August 2007
http://mhulot.blogspot.com/2007_08_01_archive.html
Monday, August 13, 2007. Saw and Irrational Fear. Wanting something without much of a plot that I could let play in the background while finishing up my paper, I put on Saw. I dislike any kind of shock-driven horror, and haven't seen any of the so called "torture porn" films (although Takashi Miike's The Audition. Would be close - and that one scarred me, deeply). Like so many films in the past decade or so, Saw. Villains who have no clear origin for their monstrosity. With Psycho. Links to this post.

Another Green World: June 2007

Wednesday, June 13, 2007. Aka Private Fears in Public Places. Finds Resnais in full operetta mode - although there aren't any musical numbers, with the pleasantly artificial sets and carefully-designed interactions and transactions between the different characters and sets, it certainly wouldn't be out of place for someone to burst into song. The film is light-hearted enough that an indoor snowstorm works quite nicely as metaphorical punctuation for the understated climax. Links to this post. Is like gat...

Another Green World: March 2007
http://mhulot.blogspot.com/2007_03_01_archive.html
Sunday, March 25, 2007. I have no desire to defend Leni Riefenstahl, but can somebody please tell Clive James to stop writing about movies? Registration Req'd] A week or two ago, a level-headed review. That quote from Bach manages to perfectly capture the full repugnancy of Riefenstahl's situation without resorting to discussion-ending insult hurlings. The last time James wrote about a film book for the NYT, some righteous. Was Albert Speer's film, "Leni" only filmed it. And Olympia. Offers the opportuni...

motion within motion: July 2007
http://motionwithinmotion.blogspot.com/2007_07_01_archive.html
No more gorgeous thing has ever been offered on the the screen. It has motion within motion, action within action, and it builds up to crashing climaxes with all that superb definition which makes Mr. Griffith first and always the showman.". On Orphans of the Storm. On Marginality, Part II. This post constitutes the second of three parts about the genesis and implications of Joseph Cornell's. Is neither an epithet nor a judgment of Rose Hobart. So much as a sad historical fact. The urtext. DVD boxset in ...
