Not saying you should read this piece on ÉL, maybe my favorite film by my favorite filmmaker, because I wrote it in my early 20s and, well, it's a miracle I never took it down in embarrassment, but you SHOULD very much go see the new restoration at Film Forum!

There’s evocativeness and then there’s lack of context, and it feels as if THE DAMNED's cinematography and Odessa Young’s performance are trying to deflect attention from the latter. Read @certifieded.bsky.social's review.

"If a woman doesn't look woman enough to a Republican, they want to be able to inspect your genitals to use a bathroom? It's disgusting.
