NEWS

Newly-minted Oscar nominee Andrea Riseborough in To Leslie (Michael Morris, 2022).

RECOMMENDED VIEWING

  • Following a successful festival run in 2022, Helena Wittmann’s Human Flowers of Flesh—the much anticipated follow up to her similarly sea-fixated 2017 debut Drift—now has a beautifully blue-tinged official trailer. (From the Notebook archives: following the film’s Locarno premiere, Laura Staab interviewed Wittmann and lead actress Angeliki Papoulia.)

RECOMMENDED READING

RECOMMENDED EVENTS

Dear Mark (Danny Lyon, 1981).

  • London: The first UK overview of the moving-image work of the photographer, artist, and filmmaker Danny Lyon will be on next month at London’s Close-Up cinema, with screenings running from February 18 through 26. Look out for a special contribution from Danny Lyon in the second issue of the Notebook print magazine, available soon in select stores
  • Berlin: On March 31 and April 1, Digital in Berlin will screen the new 4K restoration of Béla Tarr’s formidable masterpiece Sátántangó along with a live newly reimagined version of the film’s score, created by nine to-be-announced composers working in collaboration with the film’s original composer and lead actor Mihály Víg.
  • Locarno: The retrospective at this year’s Locarno Film Festival, taking place August 2 through 12, will offer an in-depth look at Mexican cinema. Titled "Spectacle Every Day – The Many Seasons of Mexican Popular Cinema," the season was curated by Olaf Möller and will include gems from the 1940s, ’50s, and ’60s.

RECOMMENDED LISTENING

Maat (Fox Maxy, 2020).

  • The Film Comment Podcast recently invited filmmakers Sky Hopinka and Adam Piron to discuss their initiative ThousandSuns Cinema, which recently launched an online screening series devoted to Indigenous cinema. Hopinka and Piron also reflect on the origins of their artist-run collective, COUSIN, a co-sponsor of ThousandSuns.

RECENTLY ON NOTEBOOK

The Eternal Daughter (Joanna Hogg, 2022).

  • In a new essay, Laura Staab explores how “class tensions wrinkle the expensive fabrics of [Joanna] Hogg’s films,” and traces a line from Hogg’s naturalistic early work to her new Gothic psychodrama, The Eternal Daughter.
  • "[Becoming Male in the Middle Ages] offered the emotional substratum that I’ve been focusing my films on these days—emotion as an approach to think through politics past and present," Pedro Neves Marques writes in an introduction to their film Becoming Male in the Middle Ages, now showing exclusively on MUBI.

EXTRAS

  • Kim Gordon shared on Instagram that she is working on the music for Catherine Breillat’s next film. The post was tagged Body/Head, so it’s possible the score will be a collaboration with Gordon's bandmate, experimental guitarist Bill Nace.
