My second review written specifically for the website Gone Cinema Poaching is for the film 35 Shots of Rum, directed by French provocatress Claire Denis. I caught the film at Film Forum waaaay back in late September (a side trip from the NYFF screenings) and am only now writing the review. Rather late, but hey, here it is now so get over it. Anyway, as I said, this is my second review for GCP and there will be more to come. I am excited to have another outlet to write for - new readers and all that jazz. I will be doing a review for the most recent Aleksandr Sokurov movie to be released stateside, The Sun. Talk about me being late with reviews, the Sokurov film debuted at the NYFF waaaaaaaay back in 2005 and is just now being released in the US. The Russian has made several films since The Sun, including 2007's Alexandria which opened in the US nearly two years prior to this film. So never call me late again dammit. After The Sun (prob. posting on GCP sometime this week-end or early next week) I will be writing a piece on Almadovar's latest, Broken Embraces and (hopefully) Richard Linklater's new film, Me and Orson Welles (if anyone could get me a screener that would be fantastically appreciated). I am also going to be taking part in GCP's Best of the Decade Project, counting down til the new year. I will be doing pieces on Sofia Coppola's Marie Antoinette and Robert Altman's The Company as well as possibly a piece on Brian De Palma and his four films from the past decade. So with all that said (and I suppose I did ramble a bit) I am going to go now and get to work on much of what I just rambled on about.
