Essential reading and an incredible portrait by @roxana-hadadi.bsky.social of Jafar Panahi and the movie of the year (imo!!), IT WAS JUST AN ACCIDENT

Jafar Panahi’s Cinematic Rebellions Since his 2010 imprisonment, the director has been in an endless game of chicken with the Iranian regime. In his defiant new film, ‘It Was Just an Accident,’ a group of Iranians consider killing the man who tortured them in prison.

Omg

from me -- a profile of Jafar Panahi, a filmmaker whose work has perfectly met our age of surveillance and interrogation and asks the imperative question of: Who are we, and what comes next? IT WAS JUST AN ACCIDENT = masterpiece, imo.

“…what’s so bad about being uncomfortable? What’s so scary about that? The idea of being made uncomfortable about art or from watching film or looking at a painting or listening to a song is… the stakes are not that high.”

Loved this, looking forward to seeing If I Had Legs I’d Kick You even more.

“It’s like Orson Welles said: the worst thing that ever happened to filmmaking was the homage… I want to see something that’s new when I walk into a movie theater.”

A sharp talk between Mary Bronstein and @oldfilmsflicker.bsky.social on IF I HAD LEGS I’D KICK YOU.

Great interview here indeed:

ICYMI, I talked to Mary Bronstein about her directorial film theories, William Inge, postpartum psychosis and a whole lot more

He was wrongfully imprisoned for 43 years. Moments after being released, ICE took him Subramanyam “Subu” Vedam now faces deportation.

These people are all going to Hell

Omg

Belatedly reading about this and as always really important to remind people in *every breath* that when the right talks about “woke” and “DEI” they are talking about the cultural and political wins of the civil rights movement. This arrangement existed for 52 years because of historical activism.

Still the thrill that it was the day I found you 💕

here’s to you keaton
thanks for bringing joy to my life

What Makes This Goofy-Era Diane Keaton So Appealing? The prestige actress now does movies like “Poms,” “Book Club” and the “Freaky Friday”-esque “Mack & Rita.” It’s so cringey. But why does it make us love her even more?

Thankful that just three years ago I was able to write about how much I loved her and especially her late career choices that many people judged. RIP Diane. You stayed true to you to the very end. Glad you got to sing like you always wanted before the end.

Walked out of a movie to news of Diane Keaton passing away and I don’t even know what to say. One of the most important actresses to me personally, someone whose career and style has influenced my own deeply. We were so lucky to have her.

Jesus. Diane Keaton. RIP to a legend who managed to carve out a lifelong career in an industry that frequently robs women like her of dignity and status once they hit 40.

Diane just threw on a turtleneck and said "fuck you, I'm still going."

the ending of THE GODFATHER, the best american movie ever made, doesn't work without diane keaton's final look --- at the realization of who she's married and what her life is going to become and what corruption lurks behind closed doors. unforgettable, inimitable work. RIP.

That's kinda interesting because that same year she directed the video for Belinda Carlisle's "Heaven Is A Place On Earth." #DianeKeaton

Heaven (1987) In Diane Keaton's directorial debut, she analyzes how Hollywood has portrayed the afterlife through a series of clips, interviews, and more.

HEAVEN is a gem. Just a weird, casual inquiry into various ideas of the afterlife. And it's on Tubi right now!

Oh fantastic

Heaven

Unstrung Heroes
