Luckily not my first Breen...and I didn't make Jene watch with me, lol. She just walked into the room and I had to explain what she was looking at.

Ok, switching gears now with the Hungarian animated epic THE TRAGEDY OF MAN, from the director of the stunning SON OF THE WHITE MARE.

At one point, Breen uses one of Apple's drone-shot screensaver images to transition to a skyscraper interior (green screen, of course). I have no idea how this guy operates, but his mind must be studied.

I’m also slightly more excited for HUJAR as I’ve really liked everything Ira Sachs has done since KEEP THE LIGHTS ON. (still need to see FRANKIE though)

I’ll just add that this audio commentary is for anyone who’s ever wanted to hear about how CLASSE TOUS RISQUES is related to LE GORILLA VOUS SALUE BIEN (or, THE GORILLA SENDS HIS REGARDS)

THE BEAST IS LOOSE was one of my favorite audio commentaries of the year and is mostly about the malleable, semi-reflexive star persona of Ventura, the most charismatic wrestler to become a movie star.

"Members of the N.Y. City Police Department helped in the preparation of this book" is one hell of a cover square-up.
