I'm a slow writer and a deep thinker, so I usually have a hard time keeping up with the festival rhythm — which is why I'm extremely grateful to In Review Online for allowing me this time of reflection for films that deserve it. inreviewonline.com/2025/05/29/can…
"No grand, extravagant, fundamentally unfamiliar take on a wild and implausible tale, but a recognizable reality with recognizable sights, sounds, and sentiments" Me for In Review Online on the 50th anniversary of Robert Bresson's Lancelot of the Lake inreviewonline.com/2025/06/09/a-m…

Check out my latest In Review Online article, "The Pasteboard Masks of Text and Screen: On Writers in Gothic Cinema." I went long on horror cinema's depictions of writers, focusing on Exposé, The Shining, & Kurosawa's Loft. tinyurl.com/inrogoth

20 years ago today, Park Chan-wook’s Lady Vengeance opened in Korean theaters. My new essay for In Review Online revisits this now-iconic film to excavate the profound political allegory buried beneath its bloody tale of revenge and redemption. Link in the comment!
My latest Flashback entry (In Review Online) is about the first Hollywood film made in Italy, Henry King's The White Sister.
