  If you followed me on Twitter (@PINNLAND_EMPIRE) or Facebook this past September then you'd know that The Empty Box was in my top 10 coming out of TIFF (it'll probably be in my top 10 of 2016). But it's one of the only films, along with Prevenge, tha...

  Say what you want about Xavier Dolan (he seems to have just as many fans as he does detractors) but his films have a place in certain circles. He's also young which means there's room to grow & mature over time (and I don't mean to be patronizing...

  Dionysis in '69/Vers MathildeDocumentary filmmaking is nothing new for Claire Denis. Early on in her career she made documentaries on both Jacques Rivette (The Watchman) & African musicians (Man No Run). Abstract storytelling is nothing new for h...

  on Aug 19, 2016 in american cinema Documentary podcast Random the 00's
  OJ Made In America is easily the best documentary of the year so far (with The Lost Arcade coming in right behind it) so there was no way I'd turn down the opportunity to talk about it with James (and regular guests Jacob Rivera & Kyle Reardon).

  At first glance, one wouldn’t associate Kinetta with the rest of the films in Yorgos Lanthimos’ body of work. And that’s understandable. Not only was his feature film debut made almost five years before Dogtooth (a movie that is often times wro...
