Slow Moving Pictures @lewisbeerblog.bsky.social · Feb 9

In Red Desert, when Giuliana walks against the flow of the striking factory workers, the image recalls a pivotal scene in Agnès Varda’s Cléo from 5 to 7. Cléo’s path intersects with a stream of pedestrians – they are almost like a funeral procession, resonating with her thoughts of mortality.

Giuliana walks against the flow of the striking workers: she moves from right to left, they from left to right.

Cléo walks against the flow of the pedestrians crossing the road: she moves from right to left, they from left to right.

«When most people go to the movies, the ultimate compliment for them is to say: “We didn’t notice the time pass!”
With me, you see the time pass. And feel it pass.
You also sense that this is the time that leads towards death. And that’s why there’s so much resistance»

Dora Maar was a gifted and politically motivated photographer. Seemingly, however, the most important fact in her life is that she was betrayed by Picasso. 🙄😩

The Nitrate Diva @nitratediva.bsky.social · Dec 1

On this day in 1945, DETOUR hit theaters. No matter how many times I revisit it, Edgar G. Ulmer's bleak, grimy noir masterpiece and Ann Savage's go-for-broke performance as Vera remain startlingly, perversely enthralling.

A gorgeous book of brilliant poems – I loved M Jay Smith’s striking Antonioni-inspired images!

M Jay Smith @mjaysmith.bsky.social · Nov 19

Look at how cute this little book of poems is! You can buy *the eclipse* locally from Magpie Books or Porchlight, or use the internet to buy from magpiebooks.ca or barnesandnoble.com/w/the-eclipse-m-jay-smith/1146449264
