Przypadek (Krzysztof Kieślowski, 1987)

In his quest for truth, Kieślowski explores the complexities of life with originality, subtlety and depth. Part of the power and delicacy of his films is his ability to delineate the invisible, mysterious dimension of human existence, to make decisions without ever really knowing what the correct choices are.

Przypadek is an undeniably bleak portrait of one man’s existential struggle to find hope and meaning within a morally bankrupt and dehumanizing system.(via)

Great DGA interview with Robert Altman circa 2005, via Cinephilia & Beyond (natch). A sampling:

Q: Your late colleague Tommy Thompson once said that your movies were like an extension of your lifestyle.

A: When you make movies, there is a connection to your life, to the people you surround yourself with. It’s a full experience. The movies you make are like little sculptures of what’s around you.

Q: One of my favorite films of yours is The Long Goodbye. I love the way it was shot.

A: That film is still at the top of my list. I just never let the camera stop moving. I did the same thing on Gosford Park and on Prairie Home Companion, too. It was moving just for the sake of movement. I’ve been thinking a lot lately about Three Women and how slow and leisurely those camera moves were. We’d spend hours on them.

newyorker:

“I am at war with the obvious,” the photographer William Eggleston said in a conversation with the author Mark Holborn, which became the afterward in Eggleston’s 1989 book, “The Democratic Forest.”

In the introduction to the book, Eudora Welty writes that Eggleston’s photographs “focus on the mundane world. But no subject is fuller of implications than the mundane world! When you see what the mundane world so openly and multitudinously affirms, there is everything left to say.”

“At War with the Obvious: Photographs by William Eggleston” is on view at the Metropolitan Museum of Art through July 28th. The exhibition displays thirty-six prints newly acquired by the museum’s permanent collection. Each work is a dye-transfer print, a process that Eggleston perfected as one of the pioneer color photographers in the late nineteen-sixties and seventies.

Roger Ebert with Russ Meyer (circa 1970)

“Thank you for being the best readers any film critic could ask for.” Roger Ebert has announced that he has had a recurrence of cancer and will be taking a partial hiatus from reviewing while he undergoes treatment. Ebert, who lost the ability to speak and eat to cancer in 2006, filed a career-record 306 reviews in 2012. The news comes as Ebert plans to revamp his website and is considering a Kickstarter campaign to bring back his iconic show At the Movies. A documentary about Ebert directed by Steve James and executive produced by Martin Scorsese is currently in production.

Ebert wrote the first film review that Martin Scorsese ever received—for 1967’s I Call First, later renamed Who’s That Knocking at My Door. Director Werner Herzog dedicated his documentary Encounters at the End of the World to Roger Ebert. In part of the commentary track he calls Mr. Ebert “a warrior of the cinema.” Ebert repaid the compliment in a letter to Werner Herzog.
