“Straub compared the work of the text and the actor to a glade in thick forest, a clearing… that it should allow the light and sun to come in.” One the eve of THESE ENCOUNTERS tomorrow, a new interview with Jean-Pierre Duret, the film’s sound engineer, by Dylan Foley.

For @mubinotebook, I wrote about one of my favorite film theorists/critics, Nicole Brenez, and her work on figuration in cinema (Abel Ferrara, Jacques Tourneur, John Woo, and more). https://t.co/sbKUOBCdK0

Later this year we will publish Yoshiko Shibaki's "Susaki Paradise" (tr. Polly Barton), from which Kenji Mizoguchi adapted "Street of Shame" (1956). A collection of six interlinked stories about sex work in the post-war period that combines realism, lyricism & savage humour.
