@AlexSantiago51 Amazing how so many of these national pundits really have no idea how to talk about the WNBA. Like…why? Why does that have to be part of the conversation? Is it really that hard to talk about the stuff that happens on the court?
This thrilling, sensuous tale, told through Lotte Reiniger’s meticulous cut-paper animation technique, still enthralls audiences one hundred years later.

A reminder that Megalopolis, playing tonight at @FilmForumNYC at 8:20pm, isn't available any way but in theatres, and it's an experience I wouldn't want to be without; few movies so thrill to the power of creation itself, to art as play:

“Film is a disease. When it infects your bloodstream, it takes over as the number one hormone; it bosses the enzymes; directs the pineal gland; plays Iago to your psyche. As with heroin, the antidote to film is more film.”
- Frank Capra (May 18, 1897 – September 3, 1991)
@erickohn But why can’t more formal analysis be used to augment the thoughtful processing of a film, to give the reader more insight into why they feel the way they do. The effect of the story is tethered to its aesthetic construction, as you alluded to in mentioning story and execution.
@NeilBahadur I keep coming back to Life of Pi as a comparison for what Nolan does in the film, though I don’t think Nolan fully embraces that point of view. Nolan deliberately never says anything to reveal his point of view or lens of interpretation regarding his work.
@SeanMBurns Combined with a roaring soundscape that feels even more overwhelming in the real IMAX, sometimes to the film’s detriment as it drowns out the dialogue. Though maybe that’s a positive, I don’t know.
@tara_violet I liked how she played with space in the film. Very precise blocking and framing within the space, specifically through hallways and windows.
Alice Guy-Blaché was a brilliant pioneer of cinema and the world’s first female narrative director. Blending inventive visual storytelling with technical mastery, she directed hundreds of early films and co-founded Solax Studios in 1910, which produced Mixed Pets (1911).
