Before the advent of film, however, the still image was equally powerful. In 1863, for example, the now famous photo of “Whipped Peter” helped to catalyze the abolition of slavery.

Trailers lie. Our first real look at Nightbitch suggested a very different film than we’ve actually got on our hands. Having just seen the movie here at the Toronto International Film Festival, the broad and on the nose comedy in the trailer has given way to a biting skewering of motherhood. It’s a relief, too, […] More
Ambition runs rampant throughout the veins of The Brutalist. Not just in the protagonist’s vision for his work, but also in that of filmmaker Brady Corbet. For his third feature, the actor turned director has opted to make a big old American epic, the kind we almost never see anymore. Expansive and sprawling in narrative […] More

I have film festivals on the brain. After all, I’m leaving in a few days for the Telluride Film Festival. Before that, this week brings the Venice International Film Festival, which will begin right before I leave for the mountains. Once I’m back, it’s only a day or so before I’m off north to the […] More
