@tnyfrontrow @RoxyCinemaNYC The Film Desk released a blu-ray of this as well, for all of us not in NY. Though the slipcover edition is sold out. Looks great, interested to see how it's "secular-metaphysical.".

The late Michael Roemer's antic, ironic, sadly tender, secular-metaphysical Jewish-gangster comedy The Plot Against Harry, nearly lost to history but woefully lost to its moment, tonight at @RoxyCinemaNYC at 7, in 35mm.:.

Am I hallucinating? All of Jacques Rozier's features are now on the @criterionchannl at just the right time, because he is one of the great filmmakers of summer vacations, with their wild possibilities and poignant longings:

These Birds Walk is a terrific, immersive documentary in which the filmmakers, Omar Mullick and Bassam Tariq, share—and give cinematic form to—the subjects' passions and risks; at @DCTVny at 7, followed by a Q. & A. with them, moderated by Shaka King:.

Talked the other day about Afternoons of Solitude with a friend who wondered what's left to add about bullfighting after Hemingway's colossal Death in the Afternoon; answered that Serra finds what only the cinema can do and what writing, even Hemingway's writing, can't.

I'd have sworn that I wrote about Kentucker Audley's first feature, Team Picture (playing tonight at @Metrograph at 7 followed by his Q. & A.), but, it turns out, did so not freestandingly but nonetheless full of admiration:.

It's not rare at all. But this is best to do empirically: those I've watched most often, such as Masculine Feminine, A Letter to Three Wives, 42nd Street, The Gang's All Here, Bringing Up Baby, Saturday Night Fever.

A postscript regarding the great Afternoons of Solitude (opening tomorrow at @FilmLinc), from an interview with Albert Serra:."What did Andrés Roca Rey think of the film?"."He hated it. He was angry. He even sent his lawyers after us. He wanted us to change the film."."Why?".
