Minneapolis starts today and already I'm having major scheduling conflicts?
Do I see the new Despleschin or the second scary-looking McDull HK animation thing? (Answer: Kings and Queen.)
Do I try to catch lots of Jacquot films or only the newest one/two? (Answer: Depends on how the first one/two go.)
Why am I wasting screening time on stuff -- like Kung Fu Hustle and 3-Iron -- that I know is already going to receive "proper" distribution in Minneapolis within a month? (Answer: Free pass, beeotch.)

but the movies on either side of it look pretty great, so I think i'll be down there.
i'm definitely going to "alias kurban said" tomorrow at the bell. so far i'm batting 1.000 on documentaries, but the features have been spotty even from the big names...

alias kurban said was a lot of fun but apparently pretty flawed; author of competing book on same subject was on campus, coincidentally, and have us the real deal.
anytown USA: embarrassing, i recommend.
the ister; 3 1/2 hours! heidegger! the danube! best movie ever!!

a rider named death was very pretty, but all the political films i've seen have been largely free of politics—which i guess is the point of this one (it's abt anti-czarist terrorists a century ago). didn't really dramatize its ideas very well, but my golly, some very good looking russians in it.
one night husband: um, if a movie gets billed as drawing on ozu and lynch, does that mean i can't complain if it's boring and doesn't make much sense?

Did anyone catch new Aki Kaurismäki "Lights In The Dusk"?

also known as Laitakaupungin valot. I love the finnish language!

Apparently this is the last part of Aki's "loser trilogy". Ummm, surely that's ironic!

I found "Lights In The Dusk" his least interesting in awhile. Not bad tho.
