twenty years of Mulholland Drive. incredible movie

RIP Sam Neill (1947-2026)

Sam Neill on why "The Piano" (1993) is an important movie in Cinema history:

"I don’t think I can overestimate how important 'The Piano' (1993) is for me in hindsight. It sits on my funny old CV like a medal on my chest. It wasn’t my film. It was Jane Campion's. I wasn’t the star of the film. That was Holly Hunter. But there is honour to be found in the second fiddle. Or fourth. No one notices you much, you don’t get nominated for things. But you served. I was there in an important feminist film. I was there on the front line in an important New Zealand film. Neither of these labels does the film justice. It’s a work of art. And look, that tiny little figure in the fabric— see down there on the right—that’s me. It’s a film that will always have a place in cinema history. And I served in it."

("Did I Ever Tell You This: A Memoir", Sam Neill, 2023)

@jjh_esq @LacyMB @DCrowsNest the old translation changed it too. your translation changes it. our words can never map entirely onto theirs because it was a completely different culture. all translations are inaccurate. coloured by your own bias of what it means. hence all problems with all old texts,

[Alice Lowe @alicelowe]

@jjh_esq @LacyMB @DCrowsNest all translations carry a bias to the age they were created. there's a new translation of the original Greek that unpicks all the lazy assumptions made over the years that make us conform the story to our own cultural biases. it's a weird ass story with alien characters. enjoy.

@Post40_ and if something happened to you, I'm sure you think your brother/sister isn't obligated to look after your kids either? to the orphanage with them, they're not their extended family's responsibility!

well this isn't even the heatwave proper and sad to say that I have actually died

[Alice Lowe @alicelowe]

@cinemafrances decided to read the book to understand this movie. it was completely different. much more about the warts and all beneath the facade. but the movie was all surface. more fetishisation and sexualising of her mythologized image, exploitative, and nothing about the real woman at all

[Alice Lowe @alicelowe]

haha just realised the meaning of the cat in #Obsession. even the cat was so depressed by being owned by that guy that he committed suicide

[Alice Lowe @alicelowe]

the number of men on here telling me how much more important the opinion of a director is than an art director, whilst I am telling them simultaneously that I am a director, is beyond ironic

[Alice Lowe @alicelowe]

@DinoDecolonizer think this should cover most of the responses on here

[Alice Lowe @alicelowe]

@danielpmalito @HasimpKing where did you get 40 hours from? film is paid by the day, and it's frequently 12-14 hour days, if not more, and 6 day weeks. that's more like 80 hours a week?

[Alice Lowe @alicelowe]

@RickBeato2 well now you say! did you tweet about it at the time or just keep it secret inside your heart? grr those naughty director boys!

[Alice Lowe @alicelowe]

[Alice Lowe @alicelowe]

@DinoDecolonizer can't have one without the other, sorry. I am a director. I think people should be paid fairly

[Alice Lowe @alicelowe]

@BB1001236514 the Matrix famously gave Reeves back end shares which he then redistributed to cast and crew. just to show other systems are possible. gosh it's been a while since I had a twitter argument. but did you google the 'more than one' Indie hits yet?

[Alice Lowe @alicelowe]

@BB1001236514 one other time?! 😂'how it works internally'. oh dear. I leave the googling to you, I work in the industry

[Alice Lowe @alicelowe]

@BB1001236514 this story has happened before, Blair Witch, Matrix, etc etc. it will happen again. meanwhile increasingly people struggle at grass roots level to enter and stay in the industry. we don't know how many Indie films we've already been denied b/c of worsening of conditions
