Locarno Review: Albert Serra and Ingrid Caven Make a Fine Pair In Sixteen Moments from My Life

Locarno Review: Albert Serra and Ingrid Caven Make a Fine Pair In Sixteen Moments from My Life

Albert Serra’s Sixteen Moments from My Life will perhaps go down as a minor addition to the director’s corpus, but it’s nothing if not a continuation of his career-long project of finding ways to capture flickers of reality within the framework of cinema, and vice-versa. A conceptually interesting if uncompromisingly niche companion piece to his […]

The End of Oak Street Review: David Robert Mitchell Makes Fun, Forgettable Return

The End of Oak Street Review: David Robert Mitchell Makes Fun, Forgettable Return

The End of Oak Street opens with a rollicking gusto, Michael Giacchino’s assured heavyweight score ripping us straight from the production cards into a 1982 suburban block party in Flowervale, Michigan, where the styles and aesthetics of the ‘70s still reign supreme in outfits, home decor, cars, you name it. From there, it’s Meet the […]

Between the Narrative and the Physical Reality of the Image: Rob Tregenza on Fast

Between the Narrative and the Physical Reality of the Image: Rob Tregenza on Fast

When, a few years ago, I agreed to interview the filmmaker Rob Tregenza on the eve of his career-spanning retrospective at the Museum of Modern Art, I did not anticipate it would, before long, lead to a producing credit on his new film. Nor a whole other feature in the time between that he thanked […]

Locarno Review: Denis Côté’s Nobody’s Violence Is an Astonishingly Alive Thriller

Locarno Review: Denis Côté’s Nobody’s Violence Is an Astonishingly Alive Thriller

In 2006, Denis Côté was diagnosed with a degenerative kidney disease; in 2022, around the time he wrapped Mademoiselle Kenopsia, the insufficiency reached critical conditions: without a transplant—which he luckily received just a few months later—the Quebecois maverick wouldn’t have made it. Death had long haunted his cinema, a burgeoning oeuvre littered with acts of […]
