Was honored to write the essay for @Criterion's release of the unforgettable 1983 domestic horror film TESTAMENT. (criterion.com/current/posts/…) Now I'm thrilled to present the film on 35mm with director Lynne Littman in person this Saturday @MovingImageNYC. Don't miss.

FROM MTV TO HOLLYWOOD 📺 Now playing on the Criterion Channel! bit.ly/4eaQvdg In the era when MTV reached full cultural domination, music videos served as petri dishes for experimentation, allowing up-and-coming auteurs to hone their boundary-pushing styles before unleashing them on the big screen. Kinetic, audacious, and hyperstylized, these Y2K-era touchstones from filmmakers like David Fincher, Spike Jonze, Michel Gondry, and Hype Williams rewired the possibilities of visual storytelling.

Wrote on the Wellesian Patrick McGoohan, television, and the wildly ambitious series THE PRISONER (1967) for @Criterion, a surrealist allegory that embraces enigma. Per McGoohan: "if one gives answers to a conundrum, it is no longer a conundrum." criterion.com/current/posts/…
