  • Longing for a home you have never known. L'Atalante (1934) with Billy Stanton

    Longing for a home you have never known. L'Atalante (1934) with Billy Stanton
    Dec 12 2024
    In this episode I talk to Billy Stanton. Billy is a writer, filmmaker and the organiser of the Noli film festival. He introduced me to both L’Atalante and Jean Vigo and is a passionate advocate for a free and creative cinema. Links: https://steelcathedrals.wordpress.com/- This is Billy’s blog with links to his short fiction and some of his film writing. https://nolishortfilmfestival.wordpress.com/- this is the festival website. https://filmfreeway.com/NoliTheTooLongTooDifficultTooRawShortFilmFestival- this is the Film Freeway page. https://shop.bfi.org.uk/l-atalante-bfi-film-classics.html?srsltid=AfmBOopHBa-0kvtyJG8doL3BNcU8K7zw8OlwRmcvzM4keHjfVecrdHCb- this is the Marina Warner book on L'Atalante that Billy mentioned a few times https://books.google.co.uk/books/about/Jean_Vigo.html?id=6LDHQgAACAAJ&redir_esc=y - this is Paulo Gomes' beautiful biography of Jean Vigo https://www.sensesofcinema.com/2004/feature-articles/kapo_daney/ - this is a reprint of the Serge Daney's piece on Kapo (and Jacques Rivette) that Billy mentioned when we were talking about After Hours. Probably my favourite piece of film criticism ever! https://sergedaney.blogspot.com/ - there's been two amazing translations of Serge Daney's books in the last couple of years by Semiotext(e), but until then, this site and a translation of Postcards From the Cinema were the only ways to read Serge in English.

    Begging money for a new Mercedes Benz - Winter Sun 2 - Calamari Union
    Nov 19 2024

    Episode two in occasion series on the films of Aki Kaurismaki. In this edition we talk about 'Calamari Union' from 1985, the second feature written and directed by our favourite Finn.

    It's the story of 15 (or is it 17?) men called Frank and their doomed great escape to the good part of town.

    And ok, everything reminds me of Beckett.
