The Potent Manic-Depressiveness of LA LA LAND

I was too late in catching up with La La Land to have included it in my best-of-the-year lists for Sight and Sound and Film Comment, where it likely would have figured in both cases. But one telling aspect of the movie that I find missing from the reviews that I’ve read is just how desperate its euphoria turns out to be — which is not an argument against this euphoria but a statement of what gives rise to it and what makes it so poignant. Of cou…Read Article

My Five-Week Film Criticism Workshop

My Five-Week Film Criticism Workshop

This was organized by my dear friend Sunčica Fradelić, who was one of the mainstays of FilmFactory in Sarajevo (2013-2016), where I taught four times. She’s now working as the director of Kino Klub Split, where I’ve subsequently lectured and taught several times, and the only reason why she couldn’t attend the Workshop’s final (and only) Zoom meeting, which was yesterday, is that her boiler broke. But because she belongs in the picture below, I…Read Article

Silents Are Golden (Silent Ozu)

Silents Are Golden (Silent Ozu)

From the Chicago Reader (January 14, 2005). — J.R. Yasujiro Ozu Retrospective at the Gene Siskel Film Center It’s no longer controversial to assert that Yasujiro Ozu (1903-’63) is one of the greatest filmmakers ever — certainly one of the top dozen and possibly the greatest of those who’ve focused on family life. But getting a fix on his work remains far from easy. Only 34 of his 50-odd films appear to have survived, and two features exist only …Read Article

Fond Memories of Idiocy, #1

I no longer remember if this was at the Miss America Pageant, and I’m not even 100% sure it was Bert Parks, but I do remember that either Bert or someone much like him decided to show what a regular guy he was by singing the Elvis anthem “Blue Suede Shoes” on TV. But because this was American TV in the mid-50s, he had to clean up the already stupid hyperbolic lyrics (“You can burn my house, steal my car, drink my liquor from an old fruit jar”) b…United States · United States Read Article

The Bitter Tea of General Yen

From the Chicago Reader (March 9, 1990). — J.R. Frank Capra’s very atypical drama about an American missionary (Barbara Stanwyck) being taken prisoner by a Chinese warlord (Nils Asther) is not only his masterpiece, but one of the great love stories to come out of Hollywood in the 30s–subtle, delicate, moody, mystical, and passionate. Joseph Walker shot it through filters and with textured shadows that suggest Sternberg; Edward Paramore wrote the…Chicago, IL · Chicago Read Article

The Scandals of AMORE

Commissioned by BFI Video for an April 2015 release. — J.R. L’amore: Due storie d’amore (Love: Two Love Stories, 1947-1948), as it was originally known, is the first feature of Roberto Rossellini to have been completed after his celebrated war trilogy of Rome Open City (1945), Paisà (1946), and Germany Year Zero (1947), although in fact its first episode, A Human Voice (a one-act play by Jean Cocteau), was shot just before Germany Year Zero, and…Rome · Rome Read Article

Recommended Viewing: Manoel De Oliveira’s last film, “Um Século de Energia”

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yr8hEyFYcg The Portuguese title of this beautiful, wordless 15-minute documentary means “One Century of Power,” and the black and white footage comes from one of his earliest films, Hulha Branca (1932). [7/8/15]Portugal · Portugal Read Article

En Movimiento: The Man Who Would Be King

A column for Caiman Cuadernos de Cine, written November 16, 2016. — J.R. En Movimiento: The Man Who Would Be King Errol Morris: “If you could give Charles Foster Kane advice, what would you say to him?” Donald J. Trump: “Get yourself a different woman.” — from a 2003 interview It isn’t surprising that Citizen Kane…Read Article

Paris Journal (May-June 1974)

From Film Comment (May-June 1974). Apart from my responses here to Malle, Whale, and Fejos, I no longer identify with most of what I wrote here, over 41 years later. Much of this -– especially my reactions to Ferreri and The Great Garrick — was strongly influenced at the time by my friendship with the late Eduardo de Gregorio. — J.R. The word is out that Marco Ferreri’s TOUCHE PAS LA FEMME BLANCHE (DON’T TOUCH THE WHITE WOMAN) isn’t making …Paris, France · Paris Read Article

Trapped in Time: Alain Resnais’ JE T’AIME, JE T’AIME

Written for Kino Lorber’s Blu-Ray of the film, released on November 10, 2015. — J.R Alain Resnais (1922-2014) was the most experimental and adventurous of all the French New Wave directors, but he has rarely been recognized as such, perhaps because he stood apart from his (mainly younger) colleagues in other respects as well. Unlike Godard, Rivette, Truffaut, Chabrol, and Rohmer, he wasn’t a critic or a writer, although as a teenager during the …France · France Read Article

On Patrick McGilligan’s YOUNG ORSON

Written for my “En movimiento” column in Caimán Cuadernos de Cine in July 2015. — J.R. En movimiento: Young Orson Jonathan Rosenbaum Out of all the discoveries that have come my way in the wake of the Welles centennial, the most interesting and exciting so far has been Patrick McGilligan’s Young Orson: The Years of Luck and Genius on the Path to Citizen Kane, a biography that comes to 785 pages, at least in the bound uncorrected proofs sen…United States · United States Read Article
