Jean Reno
by Ryland Walker Knight —All things shining. Most of the week was spent not watching movies. But, as happens with an active calendar, the wait for the weekend brought me some special sights made richer by my recess. More Resnais, mostly, but also some time for some TV comedy. If you follow ...

by Ryland Walker Knight — Midtown 120 Blues 1. Stare. It is the way to educate your eye, and more. Stare, pry, listen, eavesdrop. Die knowing something. You are not here long. — Walker Evans 2. Color, at the moment, has, for me, a great importance, and I feel a kind of return to a ...

The Walker
by Ryland Walker Knight This second week back in the Bay has been awfully full of commitments that have kept me from the movies. I've spent most of the week looking at Jeanne Dielman, 23, quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles [Chantal Akerman, 1975] # in preparation for an overdue image-essay that ...

Halloween
by Steven Boone It all comes down to what you believe, because none of us knew the man. I believe Michael Jackson was a good guy. I believe he never harmed anyone's child. I believe he was one of those rare people who tried to apply his otherworldly talent to healing some of the basic, eternal ...
