But MEEK'S CUTOFF is, or sounds, like such an interesting departure, and i'm intrigued.bill r.https://www.blogger.com/profile/17748572205731857892noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2856547151523423474.post-2922107615280134542011-05-14T23:23:56.028-04:002011-05-14T23:23:56.028-04:00Ed - thanks for the tip.

I'll probably start with the I SEE A DARKNESS album.<br /><br />Christian - this hardly counts as obvious, but two films I thought of are Azazel Jacobs' THE GOODTIMESKID and Aaron Katz's COLD WEATHER. Visually I think they're on Reinhardt's wavelength, though tonally they're fairly different.<br /><br />Tony - damn you! I almost got a screener for MEEK'S CUTOFF but ended up getting hosed by a technicality that was never really explained to me. Now I have to be patient, which i'm not great at. Anyhow, this post was originally conceived to be about all three films.

It was about a year ago and I very mildly liked it. I watched it for Williams because I truly love her as an actress but came away thinking the writer/director had potential to do more. I'd like to see more by her.Greghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05730146625671701859noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2856547151523423474.post-10127052732968694912011-05-14T20:21:56.829-04:002011-05-14T20:21:56.829-04:00Bill, I just saw MEEK'S CUTOFF today, which I ...Bill, I just saw MEEK'S CUTOFF today, which I predict will land on my list of 2011's best films.<br /><br />I'm very curious to hear your reaction to it since you are actually the first critic I thought of when I left the theater. I won't go into the reasons why, which I'm sure you'll figure out. It would give too much of the film away.Tony Dayoubhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04632329277519635858noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2856547151523423474.post-61957127366608173112011-05-14T13:46:41.489-04:002011-05-14T13:46:41.489-04:00Bill, I appreciate that you focus on Reichardt'...Bill, I appreciate that you focus on Reichardt's content more than her style. But I'm captivated by her style, which strikes me as unique in contemporary cinema.

His album <i>Viva Last Blues</i> (released under the band name Palace Music) is one of my favorites, and the Bonnie "Prince" Billy (another of Oldham's aliases) album <i>I See a Darkness</i> is also very good.Ed Howardhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18014222247676090467noreply@blogger.com
