TRANSIT

October 25, 2020October 29, 2020 Michael J. Casey

Martin Eden is one of the best movies I’ve seen this year, and it got me thinking about one of the best movies I saw last year: Transit. Christian Petzold is one of those directors who has my number, and his latest, Undine, … Continue reading TRANSIT

Cinematographer Michael Chapman died on Sept. 20, 2020. He was 84. We hadn’t heard or seen much of Chapman recently (his last credit was Bridge to Terabithia in 2007), but Chapman was king in the 1970s and ’80s. Chapman’s first credit as … Continue reading TAXI DRIVER

ZAMA

September 20, 2020September 20, 2020 Michael J. Casey

The Argentinian filmmaker, Lucrecia Martel, knows a thing or two about heat. Hot, sweltering heat. It suffocates every frame of her debut La cinéaga (2001)—a spectacular film that also happens to terribly unsettling to watch—and it practically steams the lens in Zama, her … Continue reading ZAMA

THE ASSISTANT

September 13, 2020September 12, 2020 Michael J. Casey

She lives in Astoria, but she works in the City. That means the company car picks her up long before the sun has a chance to crack the horizon. And like most administration assistants, she’s the first in, last out, … Continue reading THE ASSISTANT

GREYHOUND

September 6, 2020September 4, 2020 Michael J. Casey

The Second World War was fought on the land, in the air, and on the sea. And in the Atlantic Ocean, there is a space just out of range of Allied air forces. Here, only sea vessels go: “The Black … Continue reading GREYHOUND

OTHER MUSIC

August 30, 2020August 29, 2020 Michael J. Casey

It seems fitting that Other Music’s genesis can be traced to Kim’s Video. Both are institutions of a pre-digital era New York City; both functioned as fertile ground for 21st century indie artists: Alex Ross Perry and Sarah Adina Smith … Continue reading OTHER MUSIC
