“You only do it because you're really passionate.” The Toronto-based filmmaker KAZIK RADWANSKI spoke to us about why he makes intimate films ahead of his new personal relationship drama hitting theaters. MATT AND MARA is now playing in NYC theaters. lecinemaclub.com/journal/qa-wit…

Claire Denis’ sublime 35 SHOTS OF RUM, starring Alex Descas, Mati Diop, Nicole Dogue and Gregoire Colin, opened exactly 15 years ago today at FF.

You really have to see Hong Sang-soo's films as soon as you possibly can, lest you blink and find yourself five titles behind. The lovely, quizzical Huppert collab A TRAVELER'S NEEDS isn't even his latest, but it's a delight: variety.com/2024/film/revi…

"Campbell and Johnson have enough chemistry to fill a long-running television series, let alone an 80-minute movie." -Lee Jutton, Film Inquiry All 80 minutes of MATT AND MARA are playing 5 times a day at IFC Center.filminquiry.com/matt-and-mara/

One of the best movies of the year, do not miss it:

My Cinema Guild Blu Ray came in the mail the other day. Deeply beautiful movie haunted by the ghost of Ozu.

Deragh Campbell gave two of the best performances I've seen this year...in Kazik Radwanski's fantastic Matt and Mara (which slipped into IFC Center as one of the year's best movies) and Sofia Bohdanowicz's Measures for a Funeral, a TIFF highlight. She's Huppertian.

Today’s the last chance to watch MATT AND MARA 5 times in a row at IFC Center! Evening shows continue through next week.

Proceed with caution if you are planning to watch MATT AND MARA five times in a row, don't be reckless and make sure you do not sit too close to the screen.

MATT AND MARA: sublime, open-hearted Rohmer-ian stuff. Kazik Radwanski does not miss, and Deragh Campbell is Gena Rowlands level GOAT.

“One of the year’s best films." -Siddhant Adlakha, IndieWire MATT AND MARA continues this weekend at IFC Center and opens in some of the finest cinemas across the U.S.

Opens tomorrow exclusively at the Film Center! siskelfilmcenter.org/matt-and-mara

Happy #LetterboxdFriday! Time to post your #LastFourWatched 🎬

Heading to Chicago tomorrow for the first time. I always think of it as the city where cool directors like Hong Sangsoo and Apichatpong Weerasethakul studied. Going to try and find that Cézanne painting that Hong would visit everyday with his free student pass.

MATT AND MARA was supposed to be, per Olivia Nuzzi, about "an emotional affair." Vikram Murthi talks to Kazik Radwanski (Kazik Radwanski) about making the film, including this smart bit on street shooting filmmakermagazine.com/127379-intervi…

Just spent the bulk of the morning thinking about Mara from MATT AND MARA watching ANNE AT 13,000 FT... 😵‍💫
