The Mission was shown in 35mm in Taiwan, so did they find the negative?
"Very grateful to Mr Chiu Fu-sheng for taking the trouble to send The Mission to Tokyo Laboratory after filming where the 35mm film has been preserved in a temperature and humidity regulated environment."

The narrative structures of traditional western fantasy have primed our imaginations for imperialist apologia, writes Eden Kupermintz

Weirding the Periphery: How Imperialism Infiltrated Our Imagination Through Fantasy - Typebar Magazine
So much of foundational fantasy is about the (often imperial) core versus outside territories.

the shrouds is some of cronenberg's funniest work. loved it. unnerving confluence of grief, paranoia, and equally invasive/pervasive tech. felt somewhere between a DeLillo and later period Gibson novel, and crucially with no resolution.

Thanks to all for your kind remembrances on this awful day. Words will come later. Only feelings at the moment. Mourn and remember him but don’t forget to celebrate too. We won’t see his like again. The man from another place has gone home. #DavidLynch #TwinPeaks

I think TP:TR being 18 hours has made people overlook this, but: Lynch spent most of the 21st c. unable to get funding. At a certain point he seemed to give up entirely on getting a feature funded. Lynch! The best US filmmaker of the last 50 years! What is the industry good for?

Great piece that I think correctly identifies the film's engagement with the colonialism of Israel/Zionism, which is: not really taking a stance at all, besides paralleling the project's allure with the American Dream (however critically).
Whole thing cloaks itself in a scrim of cheap ambiguity.
I went long on THE BRUTALIST, a catastrophically amateurish feat of cinephilic pretension. I have not loathed a movie this much in quite some time
