I’ve seen Werckmeister Harmonies three times – first in 2012 on 35mm at a Los Angeles retrospective dedicated to its director, Béla Tarr; then in 2018 at a one-off screening, also 35mm, in New York; and finally this past week,...

Monday Movie: Les Visiteurs du Soir, by Scott Nye

Every Monday, we’ll highlight a piece of writing from our vaults. This review of Les Visiteurs du Soir originally ran as a home video review. Given that Marcel Carné, along with screenwriter Jacques Prévert, pretty much perfected poetic realism, it...

Chicken for Linda!: Fowl Adventure, by Scott Nye

“Simple task becomes wholly complicated” is a tried-and-true storytelling approach going back to slapstick two-reelers. We all, to some degree, feel like life is too much of a bother as it is, and any attempt to go the extra mile...

The First Omen: Symphonic Terror, by Scott Nye

The First Omen, the sixth film in a nearly-fifty-year-old film series, on the face of things, has no reason to be exceptional. All the objective things you can read about it lead to the easy conclusion that it is not....

Coup de Chance: Write Your Ending, by Scott Nye

Coup de Chance is Woody Allen’s 50th, and potentially final, theatrical film, and one would hardly say his most original. Revisiting themes of luck, misfortune, guilt, and violence, comparisons to Crimes and Misdemeanors, Irrational Man, Match Point, Cassandra’s Dream, and...

The Beast: Doll-drums Through the Century, by Scott Nye

Lousy Carter: Talking Yourself to Death, by Scott Nye

Writer/director Bob Byington has carved out an enviable, if regrettably low-profile, place in the film industry, regularly turning out expertly-tuned comedies with stellar casts that rarely get wide enough distribution to be seen by many. His latest film, Lousy Carter,...

Home Video Hovel: To Die For, by Scott Nye

To Die For certainly isn’t shy about its ripped-from-the-headlines nature; it practically gives you the headlines in its opening credits. Coming off four poetic, wandering films about people on the lower rungs of society, Gus Van Sant seems like an...

Home Video Hovel: Nothing but a Man, by Scott Nye

Due to the very nature of the conflict worth exploring, there’s an unfortunate dearth of contemporaneous fiction films made about the Black experience in Jim Crow, pre-Civil Rights Act America. Few white filmmakers wanted to touch it. Fewer Black filmmakers...
