“The restoration of the material is like cleaning the Sistine Chapel with saliva. I’ve never seen the movie until I saw this restoration.” Guillermo del Toro
Over 164,472 frames of 35mm film were restored to bring to life KEN RUSSELL'S THE DEVILS. Premiering today at @tiff_net.
After five long months, I finally received my copy! Thank you, @FilmsRadiance, for compiling this wonderful edition of Godard’s Histoire(s) du cinéma.
It’s also my first ever physical copy purchase.
I’m more excited to read essays by Adrian Martin and @kimchimarx
How can I explain this to my Western film critics friends, who expect detailed explanations for every film and use them to justify their degrees in critical or cultural theory?
“I don’t like the idea of “understanding” a film. I don’t believe that rational understanding is an essential element in the reception of any work of art. Either a film has something to say to you or it hasn’t. If you are moved by it, you don’t need it explained to you. If not, no explanation can make you moved by it.”
― Federico Fellini
No wonder why Nolan's films lack guts, truth, and humanist potential. He might be a good mechanical filmmaker, but in terms of portraying the truth of our times, he is far behind. He loves IMAX because that screen ratio is far from the most humane and real what the eye can see.
This interview had many great soundbites but this is by far the best one, recommend checking out all of Nolan's answer but bottom line:
- Her: do we need to apologize for greatness?
- Him: yes we do, or else the audience rejects it
Just wow!
From the very beginning, this protest has raised far too many red flags to be dismissed as mere coincidence.
If in the future, the truth comes out that this was an RSS backed protest designed to dethrone Modi and pave the way for another political clown, then...
If anyone has shown what it means for India to be a Vishwaguru, it is our Gen Z.
They have lived Sanatan Dharma, not preached it. Courage without hate. Strength without violence. Patriotism without blind obedience.
Unlike many of their counterparts across the world, they have shown that you can stand firmly against injustice without burning your own country down.
Maybe it's time the Hindu nationalist party learnt a thing or two from these young Indians about Hinduism, nationalism, and what it truly means to be a Vishwaguru.

This image is a slap on the face of Sekri, Barkha, Shekher, Sardesai, and other ‘neutral’ journalists. Until last week, they defended police brutality depicted in #Satluj. Labeling Sikhs as “separatists” now, will they call these students "separatists"?
Just till last week, we heard some “intellectuals” defend police brutality depicted in #Satluj. Their excuse for extra-judicial force? Reeling in “separatists”.
Were the peaceful students protesting in Delhi today separatists?
This is what happens when power is left unquestioned.
Clown @AbhinandanSekhr will now invite Delhi police in his show and propagate how it was students who agitated the police, and he will then sing Tunak Tunak with the Delhi police.
It's disgraceful what the Home Ministry has turned the Delhi Police into. A discredit force with zero respect among Delhites. It'll take so much for them to get their moral or respect back.
Despite the presence of many ***holes individuals like Sekri, Bal, Barkha, Sardesai, Kumar, and Shekher, we have remarkable journalists like @AdityaMenon22 who courageously delve into the complexities of Punjab, its struggles, pain, and identity. More power to you, Aditya.
Yes yes, learn from @AbhinandanSekhr how to uphold truth! Invite butcher Hartosh Bal and propagate agenda against minorities and then say ‘tunak tunak’ to laugh on the face of deaths. Learn from this dumbwit! A classist clown!
WOW!!! It's unfortunate that anchors & editors who sit in studios & dont have the courage to face questions themselves, send reporters on ground to run their agenda & be humiliated cos of owner's & anchor's cowardice or incompetence, or both.
@secretflix Well, that’s the essence of whole Western civilization. The removal of idea of ‘home’ is the first step state has undertaken to crumble this civilization into pieces.
@MikeGillYYC Its because of persistence of vision. Human eye can only retain limited amount and angle of projected light and illusion of motion. Imax crossed that limitation. Watching a movie at IMAX is like watching Circus. As soon as you left, you forget.
You are supporting @newslaundry@nlhindi so that they can invite butcher KPS Gill's family members, give them space for propaganda, and justify the disappearance of Khalra and thousands of Sikhs. @AbhinandanSekhr and his clown team don't deserve ur money. #Unsubscribe
"Here’s a number that should embarrass a functioning democracy: @newslaundry and @thenewsminute have had over 250 hearings over the years. 250. Read that again. And going to court over and over again is exhausting. It takes money, time, and a lot of emotional energy. For news platforms, you’re not just supporting our #journalism, you’re supporting our right to exist"- @AbhinandanSekhr
