"And now! At last! Another film completely different from some of the other films which aren't quite the same as this one is," was the tagline of "Monty Python and the Holy Grail," which was released 50 years ago this month. The team at @arstechnica discuss the things they love about this absurdist masterpiece.
The late Bruce Glover appeared in over 100 movies, including one of the greatest films of the 1970s. And a James Bond flick. (BTW, you won't actually spot him in these clips.) Two new episodes of Yelling About Movies drop this Friday. #RIPBruceGlover #YabtM #reviews #YouTube #movies #film #cinema #CineMastodon #FilmMastodon
Chantal Akerman:
« Godard m'a donné de l'énergie et les formalistes m'ont libérée. »
(C'est Pierrot le Fou de Jean-Luc Godard (1965) qui provoque sa vocation.)

Un secolo del film di #SergejMichajlovičĖjzenštejn che assieme a quell'altro di pochi mesi dopo (..) è stato un mito fondativo del #cinema sovietico. Io l'ho visto circa 25 anni fa grazie al lavoro di sonorizzazione dal vivo (ai tempi poco diffuso) di questa band piemontese che, proprio grazie a questo, girò l'Inghilterra e non solo. Ci portò pure via una data a Muggiò!

Assisti "A Bronx Tale" (Desafio no Bronx) pela primeira vez na aula de um curso de inglês. Gostei da história, mas fiquei apaixonada mesmo foi pela trilha sonora! Eu era adolescente e ainda não conhecia aquelas músicas. Acho que foi nesse filme que descobri o #jazz.

Grand Central Murder (1942)

There are a lot of staircases in these posters; I can't tie it to any kind of social change / sexual sub-current / societal malaise. If you've done a PhD on staircase imagery in movies please chime in, I'd like to read it.
Terrific colour scheme, all earthy greens, yellows and browns except for her clothes in peony pink to set it all off.
Mon Oncle 1958
For the role of Mme Arpel, +60 persons were considered to play that part. Adrienne Servantie became the perfect Madame Arpel.
Ryan Coogler's "Sinners" is a bona fide smash — it made $48 million in the U.S. in its first weekend, then had a mere 6% decline in its second. Critics adore it too. So why have outlets from The New York Times to Variety been equivocating over its success? Um, racism? "The film industry always acts like hit pictures from people of color are anomalies, preferring to stubbornly hedge their bets on franchise fare that’ll land those precious four quadrants [male and female, under and over 25]," writes @AVClub's Craig D. Lindsay. "But, as African-American auteurs like Coogler and Jordan Peele have shown, non-IP popcorn films starring people of various shades will attract many people of many shades at the box office — and these young Blerds are making the powerful white people look bad!"
