    Telluride Fest: Docs On Rumsfeld, Iranian Exiles, French Radio

    One of Telluride Film Festival‘s many idiosyncracies is that the festival does not announce its program in advance. The festival has begun once the program is out. Here are a few suggestions about movies that have been much-awaited. In my view the most-awaited film at the festival, is The Unknown Known by Errol Morris, his portrait of Donald Rumsfeld, the man who brought you the war in Iraq and some great neologisms, More …

    Telluride Blues and Brews Sept 17 – 19

    The 17th Annual Telluride Blues & Brews Festival takes place this weekend starting on Friday the 17th and ending on Sunday the 19th.  This is definitely one of the premiere blues festivals in the country and its outdoor venue is one of the most beautiful any mountain range could supply.  When B.B. King played the festival in 2004 he said, “”Out of the 90 different countries Ive been to, Ive More …

    Hockey, Pasolini and Another Serial Killer at Toronto International Film Festival

    With 300 films, some 150 of them world premieres, the Toronto International Film Festival resists being reduced to a few themes. One inconvenient truth that haunts this and other festivals won’t go away. As the movie audience shrinks, especially among the young who used to sustain the film business, hundreds (maybe thousands) of films are still trying into connect with it. At a festival like TIFF, those films and their More …

    Must-Sees at Sundance

    The truism about Sundance is that it has grown — in all sorts of directions. During the festival, sitting in endless traffic jams, you wish that Park City had grown as gracefully, instead of simply cashing in on an annual infusion of big spenders who have nowhere else to go. That said, bear in mind that Sundance is a filter as well as a spotlight and a megaphone for lots More …

    Dark Blood – Cry Me a River

    River Phoenix gets an afterlife in Dark Blood, a modern western exhumed by the Eye Netherlands Film Institute. The moral tale, seen for the first time at the Berlin International Film Festival, is a polemic set on irradiated Indian land. It was shelved after Phoenix overdosed and died at the age of 23 in 1993 – and presumably after the company that insured the production paid out a huge settlement. More …

    What’s Up, Marfa? : August 30-September 2

    Rebecca Solnit is a writer’s writer, one of those voices on art and environment and atomic weapons and San Francisco and walking and many, many other subjects that, if we are being really really honest, describes one so reliably prolific and intelligent as to make other writers just a wee bit jealous. This weekend Rebecca Solnit appears twice on the program  of  the second edition of The Marfa Dialogues: Politics More …

    Tom Holland: The World’s Not Flat

    Epoxy on aluminum. Fiberglas machined so that in painted strips it makes up a relief surface, Pop art and pop-up. Painted sculpture, three-D wall constructions, both describe with a happy underline, portions of the work of Bay Area painter Tom Holland, enjoying a 1960-2011 career retrospective now at David Richard Contemporary, until April 21. Holland, well into his 70s, retains a sense of the freshness of 1960s experiment referencing everything More …

    Movie Review: The King’s Speech

    In preparing for the Toronto International Film Festival and reading some of the press coverage that came out of the Telluride Film Festival, I noticed praise for The Kings Speech by Tom Hooper, starring Colin Firth as the Duke of York (second in line to the throne of England in the 1930s) and Geoffrey Rush as the speech therapist without any real credentials who helps the troubled royal overcome the More …
