Enamorada (Fernandez, 1946)
Finally getting around to the UCLA Film Archive restoration (yes, my movie to-do list is seven years long), and it’s stunning.

The Adventures of Rosette (Rosette/Rohmer, 1983-87)
Deliberate 8mm stab at amateur filmmaking reimagines Rohmer’s Comedies & Proverbs universe through the eyes of the series’ mysterious and peripheral rose seller Rosette. For Rosette, it’s a home movie; for Rohmer, it’s metafiction.

Watched the Blu-ray of Tout Un Nuit (I had only previously seen a rip of a 2007 dvd) and it’s right up there with 7 Women as a game-changing upgrade.

The Spirit of the Flag (Dwan, 1913)
In the early 1910’s, Griffith was prose and Dwan was verse: repetition, visual rhyming, the texture of faces and of the walls backgrounding the faces, and the peculiar Dwan miracle of women being at their most expressive when their backs are against the camera.

Incredibly sad to hear that Joel DeMott passed away last week. DeMott's films 'Seventeen' and 'Demon Lover Diary' are absolute classics. I wrote more on her work at the link below but seek out the films. They deserve so much more attention!

Heart, Mind, Body, and Soul: Joel DeMott’s 'Demon Lover Diary' (1980) - Split Tooth Media
DeMott's classic 1980 documentary is a volatile portrait of a crew trying, and often failing, to summon a horror movie out of very thin air.

Devil’s Doorway (Mann, 1950)
The transformation of Robert Taylor’s half-Shoshone character from white Union soldier to “full indian” is fascinating.

The progression from television studio set to mountaintop idyll to urban battleground is more formally radical than anything in Soy Cuba.
