The Big Shave<\/em> (1967, Martin Scorsese)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Scorsese’s queasiest film? Guy just keeps shaving until he is bloody all over, ending with a full cross-throat red slash. Jazz score with no direct sound, very student-filmy.<\/p>\n

We’re Going to the Zoo<\/em> (Josh Safdie +3)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Stop-motion opening title, nice. Woman on a long drive pulls over for a minute when she spills her coffee and hitchhiker Josh jumps in back with her little brother. They stop at a diner and dine-and-dash, but he runs back in and pays? He gets lectured about sex before marriage from a rest-stop cashier. They have a fun ride, drop him off, proceed to the zoo which is closed, then pick him up on the way back. Lo-fi camera.<\/p>\n

When We Lived in Miami<\/em> (2013, Amy Seimetz)<\/strong><\/p>\n

Scenes of a woman and her daughter in Miami, a day or two before a hurricane comes through, then it adds her cheating husband into the mix. Lovely editing.<\/p>\n

The Lonedale Operator<\/em> (2018, Michael Almereyda)<\/strong><\/p>\n

John Ashbery recalls his childhood love of movies, and the viewing of A Midsummer Night’s Dream<\/a><\/em> which led to his beginning to write poetry at age 8. He’s interviewed in color 16mm, reading from his own letters, with photos and film footage cut in. He moved to Paris and binge-watched silents at the Cinematheque… pretty standard interview doc except for a cool bit of editing between classic films at the end, and the factor that this was filmed just months before Ashbery’s death. DP Sean Price Williams is just everywhere.<\/p>\n

Pinball<\/em> (2013, Suzan Pitt)<\/strong><\/p>\n

The director’s own paintings, detailed and turntabled then fast-cut to the music Ballet Mechanique. So far<\/a> Pitt is 2 for 2, and there’s more on the Channel – hope it’s sticking around.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
