“Jean-Claude Rousseau wrote something magnificent: ‘The Pastoral Concert’ (1980)—something entirely different from a screenplay or découpage, and it has nothing to do with the history of experimental cinema… the avant-garde… the underground.” Jean-Marie Straub

From the Notebook of… (1972; Robert Beavers); the material process of creation mediated by the more elusive nature of perception. A documentary of its own making.

Hong Sang-soo’s 34th feature THE DAY SHE RETURNS continues a robust period of autofiction for the filmmaker about aging artists more concerned with being true to themselves than being liked. Kelley Dong reviews for our #NYFF coverage: reverseshot.org/reviews/entr…

'Is this what Fevers is about? It’s difficult to be sure. However, one thing is certain. Richards depicts progress as indistinguishable from a horror show, a cavernous echo in which a hypothetical Last (or First) Person calls out in the darkness, to anyone capable of listening, anyone who might still have a name.' inreviewonline.com/2026/10/0…

I'm at that point where I consider La Libertad (2001) alongside Citizen Kane (1941) and Jeanne Dielman (1975), so it was a pleasure to write on La Libertad Doble, Alonso's unexpected and fascinating follow-up.
As LA LIBERTAD DOBLE unfolds, we are gradually confronted with a possibility that LA LIBERTAD raised but did not explore, that is, of a dramatic rupture, a decisive break in routine. @lawrencengarcia reviews Lisandro Alonso's unexpected sequel for #NYFF: reverseshot.org/reviews/entr…
