Hailed as “one of the best” by Jean-Luc Godard, who compared him to James Agee and André Bazin, Rosenbaum is known for his incisive, thought-provoking polemics, which have inspired generations of writers while reshaping how we think about cinema. Distinguished by his equal investment in both contemporary cinema and film history, his work offers a rich dialogue between the past and present of moving images. In this wide-ranging conversation with film scholar Ehsan Khoshbakht, Rosenbaum reminisces about his childhood in Florence, Alabama, where his family ran a chain of cinemas, and follows that journey to New York, Paris, London and Chicago. Each city marks a chapter in his evolution as a critic, filled with encounters and experiences that together reveal the life of an indefatigable cinephile and cultural commentator. “An engaging history of the esteemed critic's career and a survey of the cinephilic landscape. Rosenbaum proves a frank, expansive interviewee, telling curator Ehsan Khoshbakht about his childhood in Alabama and his work as a critic in Paris, New York, London, Chicago and elsewhere.” — Pamela Hutchinson, Sight and Sound Learn more about your ad choices.

Fueled by events that reflected Gilded Age American economic, cultural, and political interests in the preceding years, the presence and role of sensationalist styled news medium known as “yellow journalism” found its place into the fray and was woven into the fabric of America's foreign affairs. “Yellow journalism” furthered American ambitions of empire and aided foreign policy efforts in advancing overseas expansion through the exploitation of the Cuban War of Independence.

The guest on this week's episode will need little introduction to anyone who reads film criticism or follows film culture. Jonathan Rosenbaum, one of the most prolific and respected critics of the last half-century, began his career at publications like Film Comment and Sight and Sound in the '70s, and later became known for his writing at The Chicago Reader. More recently, he's gained notice for his website, jonathanrosenbaum.net. He is known for his erudite yet accessible writing, and his championing of international cinema, among other things. No less a figure than Jean-Luc Godard once compared him to Andre Bazin. Jonathan is also the author of numerous books and collections of film writing, the latest of which, In Dreams Begin Responsibilities, has just been published by Hat & Beard Press. He describes the career-spanning, chronologically arranged collection as an autobiography of sorts, opening with his earliest published film review from his college days at Bard, before diverging into his many non-film interests. The collection also includes his writings on jazz and literature, and emphasizes Jonathan's uniquely syncretic approach to criticism. Jonathan joined FC editors Devika Girish and Clinton Krute via Zoom from his home in Chicago to discuss this new book, his time as Film Comment's Paris correspondent, his appearance as an extra in a Bresson film, and much, much more.
When we started our Alejandro Jodorowsky series last year, we began a loose exploration of the history of the Midnight Movies phenomenon of the 1970s (as documented in J. Hoberman and Jonathan Rosenbaum's iconic book on the subject). Before we wrap up that discussion with David Lynch's ERASERHEAD (coming soon!), we couldn't skip past what is probably the most iconic Midnight Movie of all time, THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW. What started as a small stage production in an experiemental theater space in London quickly grew to a worldwide phenomenon and it, to this day, the longest running continuous theatrical release of all time. In this episode, we trace ROCKY HORROR's entire history, from its early days on the London stage through its move across the pond to the US, its disastrous original theatrical run, and its eventual rise as the most impactful Cult Film of all time. You may think you already know everything about THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW, but on this episode, we'll give you the full story behind this iconic movie.

Join hosts Jason, Anthony, and Tim as they discuss Cy Endfield's The Sound of Fury aka Try and Get Me!, a 1950 crime film that critic Thom Andersen includes on his list of film gris movies, or socially conscious crime cinema, during the film noir years (1940s through the 1950s). Endfield was blacklisted in 1951 after his name was mentioned during the infamous House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) hearings. He subsequently relocated to London, where he went on to make a number of celebrated films, including Hell Drivers (1957) and Zulu (1964). In this episode we cite an essay by the Chicago critic Jonathan Rosenbaum that is included in his excellent 1997 book Movies as Politics. We hope you enjoy!

The latter which was placed on Jonathan Rosenbaum's list for "best films of 2022."AMERICAN: An Odyssey to 1947 screened at the Austin Film Festival, and the It's All True International Documentary Festival. In a review by David Walsh for WSWS, he describes that “In a short period of time, he has developed an important understanding of some of the most vexing problems of the mid-20th century.” Walsh claimed the film as evidence that “a new generation of artists, free from the cynicism and many of the prejudices of the past several decades, is emerging.”During the pandemic, Wu stayed in Chengdu with his family and created a 22-minute short program titled “My Life in China during the Pandemic.” The project was subsequently broadcast by CNN affiliate N1http://american1947.com The Douglas Coleman Show now offers audio and video promotional packages for music artists as well as video promotional packages for authors.

This week we're excited to present a conversation with director Todd Haynes. Haynes's new film, May December, will make its North American premiere as the Opening Night selection of the 61st New York Film Festival on September 29th. In this archival conversation with Haynes, the director discusses his mid-90s classic, Safe, starring his May December and Far From Heaven leading actress, Julianne Moore. While Haynes shot Safe in 1994, he set it at the height of the AIDS epidemic seven years earlier. The unnamed disease at the center of this indelible, shuddering movie—widely considered one of Haynes's masterpieces—has taken on new, unexpected meanings since the film's release, and yet much of what makes Safe revelatory to watch is the uncanny precision of its setting, look, and tone. Carol (Julianne Moore), whose mysterious breakdown from perfect housewife to cloistered invalid drives the movie's plot, is a character couldn't live anywhere but suburban L.A. in the late '80s—a landscape Haynes captures in a strange, piercing, hyperreal light. Jonathan Rosenbaum called Safe “the most provocative American art film of the year” in 1995. It's hard to imagine any movie topping it were it released now. This conversation was moderated by NYFF Artistic Director, Dennis Lim.

Over 30% of episodes are exclusively available to patrons of the show. https://www.patreon.com/posts/132-rising-sun-84172029 I'm joined by Aden Jordan, a grant writer based in Southern California and patron of the podcast, to discuss Philip Kaufman's 1993 deeply strange and lurid murder mystery Rising Sun, based on the bestseller by Michael Crichton, starring Sean Connery and Wesley Snipes as special agents brought in to investigate the murder of a sex worker at a Japanese corporation based in Los Angeles on the eve of its acquisition of an American microchip firm. Although based on a novel that also served as Crichton's jeremiad about the danger to the United States posed by Japan's dominance over the world economy and American real estate, Kaufman complicated matters (and alienated Crichton from the project) by pushing against the source material's agenda, most notably by casting a black movie star as the protagonist and giving the most racist dialogue to the most unpleasant characters (with an uncredited script polish by David Mamet). But Kaufman makes his own mistakes in terms of tempering the film's racial politics. Rising Sun is a complex text that still speaks to contemporary concerns: its depiction of the surveillance state, American Anti-Asian paranoia in the culture, and manipulation of the truth through digital trickery. But it's also a very bizarre exercise in style, an Ambient Noir where vibes and postmodern touches clash against the plot and intentions of the source material and perhaps indicate the director's true feelings for the project. Coming soon to the podcast: a sidebar series throughout the summer on NBC's Miami Vice. Trailer for Rising Sun (Philip Kaufman, 1993) Jonathan Rosenbaum's review of Rising Sun for the Chicago Reader, August 13, 1993

There were approx 15000 plus films (15858) submitted to Sundance 2023. More than half of them were made by first-time directors. There were 4,061 feature-length films,1,662 were from the U.S., and 2,399 were international. Out of this, only 101 feature films had to be selected for the final competition section of the festival. With this rush for making a movie, what are the chances that a worthy film will go unnoticed? Our guest for this episode is Film critic Jonathan Rosenbaum. Mr.Rosenbaum was the head film critic for The Chicago Reader from 1987 to 2008. He has published and edited numerous books about cinema and has contributed to such notable film publications as Sight and sound, Cahiers du cinéma, and Film Comment. Regarding Mr. Rosenbaum, French New Wave director Jean-Luc Godard said, "I think there is a very good film critic in the United States today, a successor of James Agee, and that is Jonathan Rosenbaum. He's one of the best; we don't have writers like him in France today. He's like André Bazin."Digs:1) 40 years plus in the landscape of movie-making- what are the most significant changes besides the OTT?2) Being a part of Sight and sound polls of the best 100 films- what are the criteria for choosing the best for 100-plus years?3) 15000 plus films got submitted to Sundance, what defines a movie being selected, and with the rush, how many worthy films can go unnoticed? Chances are many!!4) When we say South Asian Cinema what are the few things that come to your mind?5) David Cronenberg's Spider and the times of piecing together- Cinema.6) On Godard and A Woman is a Woman. 7) On the adaptation of literary works (Dostoevsky and Chekhov) for films like Winters Sleep- what does the future hold?Enjoy!!

For this episode, Blake and Alexei discuss Bill Duke's incredible Deep Cover from the Criterion Collection and have a general "Criterion Catch-Up" on the first batch of UHDs.Deep CoverFilm noir hits the mean streets of 1990s Los Angeles in this stylish and subversive underworld odyssey from veteran actor-director Bill Duke. Laurence Fishburne stars as Russell Stevens, a police officer who goes undercover as “John Hull,” the partner of a dangerously ambitious cocaine trafficker (Jeff Goldblum), in order to infiltrate and bring down a powerful Latin American drug ring operating in LA. But the further Stevens descends into this ruthless world of money, violence, and power, the more disillusioned he becomes—and the harder it is to make out the line between right and wrong, crime and justice. Steeped in shadowy, neon-soaked atmosphere and featuring Dr. Dre's debut solo single, Deep Cover is an unsung gem of the nineties' Black cinema explosion that delivers a riveting character study and sleek action thrills alongside a furious moral indictment of America and the devastating failures of the war on drugs.DIRECTOR-APPROVED SPECIAL EDITION FEATURESNew 4K digital restoration, with 2.0 surround DTS-HD Master Audio soundtrack on the Blu-rayNew interview with director Bill DukeAFI Conservatory seminar from 2018 featuring Duke and actor Laurence Fishburne, moderated by film critic Elvis MitchellNew conversation between film scholars Racquel J.

In telling the story of the meteoric rise and precipitous fall of a William Randolph Hearst–like newspaper magnate named Charles Foster Kane, Welles not only created the definitive portrait of American megalomania, he also unleashed a torrent of stylistic innovations—from the jigsaw-puzzle narrative structure to the stunning deep-focus camera work of Gregg Toland—that have ensured that Citizen Kane remains fresh and galvanizing for every new generation of moviegoers to encounter it.SPECIAL FEATURESNew 4K digital restoration, with uncompressed monaural soundtrackIn the 4K UHD edition: One 4K UHD disc of the film presented in Dolby Vision HDR and three Blu-rays with the film and special featuresThree audio commentaries: from 2021 featuring Orson Welles scholars James Naremore and Jonathan Rosenbaum; from 2002 featuring filmmaker Peter Bogdanovich; and from 2002 featuring film critic Roger EbertThe Complete “Citizen Kane,” (1991), a rarely seen feature-length BBC documentaryNew interviews with critic Farran Smith Nehme and film scholar Racquel J.

There, in the shadow of the riots of 1965 and 1992, young Caine (Tyrin Turner) is growing up under the influence of his ruthless, drug-dealing father (Samuel L. Jackson, in a chilling cameo) and his loose-cannon best friend, O-Dog (Larenz Tate), leading him into a spiral of violent crime from which he is not sure he wants to escape, despite the best efforts of his grandparents and the steadfast Ronnie (Jada Pinkett).

W roku 1985 w “Jeune Cinema” tak pisano o Caraxie: “Nie obawiajcie się: w filmie Caraxa wydarzeń jest bardzo mało i zawsze możecie zrobić to co reszta sali, czyli się zdrzemnąć” (tłum. P.Kopański). Patrząc na reakcję po Anette można zaryzykować, że w Caraxowym świecie niewiele się zmieniło. My natomiast zaryzykujemy i w podcaście zastanowimy się czy przypadkiem jego najnowszy musical – nawiązujący również do wcześniejszej twórczości, nie jest najbardziej przystępnym dziełem artysty. Spróbujemy odpowiedzieć również na pytania: czym jest (bądź był) filmowy neobarok, jaka jest poetyka autorska twórcy Złej krwi i Holy Motors, a także jak jego styl ewoluował przez lata. Naszym gościem jest Sebastian Smoliński – doktorant Amerykanistyki Uniwersytetu Warszawskiego, krytyk filmowy, laureat konkursu imienia Krzysztofa Mętraka, współpracownik Tygodnika Powszechnego. ︎ Tutaj znajdziesz wszystkie nasze teksty wokół Annette. ︎ A tutaj poprzedni odcinek podcastu.

"I now find Cruise tolerable only when he's in a movie that undercuts or ridicules his narcissism-- as EYES WIDE SHUT did and as this movie does even more noticeably." Jonathan Rosenbaum is not nice to Tom Cruise... but he's not wrong here. FOR THAT... you must listen to one host (Dave) as he clearly makes poor dating decision one after the other and did not learn a SINGLE THING from Cameron Crowe's masterpiece VANILLA SKY. The lessons, such as they are: Cameron Diaz brings sustenance (and sex!) Penelope Cruze brings cute banter See which one you can survive on in the wilderness (or a desolate Times Square) This is the single greatest film that has, or will EVER, appear on this feed.

"Both lovers are duplicitous creeps -- in a perverse way they're made for each other." Jonathan Rosenbaum of the Chicago Reader sounds fun at parties... but he's not wrong about Kate Hudson and Matthew McConaughey in HOW TO LOSE A GUY IN 10 DAYS. He's just wrong about how enjoyable it is to see Ms. Hudson take a wrecking ball to a man that one host calls "too pretty" and the other thinks is too picky about names for his penis. It's clearly an episode about CLASSIC CINEMA and as such we eventually work our way around to the Best Picture snub that this film received for the 2004 Academy Award ceremony and if a sprinkle of Kathryn Hahn is ever enough. Also Katherine Heigl. Romcom talk is pointless without paying respect to The Queen. Even if she is not in this movie. Enjoy!

In which celebrated film critic and author Jonathan Rosenbaum stops by to talk about ENCHANTED DESNA (1964) and film criticism in general. Bonus: One of his students joins us! (Warning: contains spoilers and some content may be triggering.)
"One of the earliest film critics I ever read was Pauline Kael , who was an enormous influence on so many of us in the 70s. I would literally read all of her reviews for films as I watched them in theaters, comparing notes. I Lost It At The Movies was a late 70s favorite and I could recite whole passages of her prose from memory at that time. Yet this was only a prelude to further developments, even changes of heart. In the beginning of the early 80s I had not yet discovered the great Manny Farber, nor our guest Jonathan Rosenbaum . I think my first encounter with Rosenbaum was through a now classic book on Jacques Rivette from the 1970s but that I was to read only later, in the 1980s. (I was not that precocious as child - Kael was about my limit.) I was so hungry to read anything about Rivette that it was inevitable I would discover Rivette: Texts and Interviews (BFI, 1977). This in turn led me to realize what an unusually diverse thinker Rosenbaum truly was. Like Farber, Rosenbaum is adamant that criticism is an art form and he treats it as such, in attitude as well as in the prose style that is reflective of his whole attitude. In this sense he also follows Henry James. One of the hallmarks of a great critic, and not merely a good or competent one is if you can tolerate reading them when their opinions or verdicts are contrary to your own. For example, I certainly don't agree with Rosenbaum about Tarantino just as I strongly disagreed with Kael about Tarkovsky and Cassavetes. I think there is room, and room should be made, for both Quentin Tarantino and Kelly Reichardt. I might be unusual in this sense. I told Rosenbaum at the outset of this episode that "he really gets inside of the movie". If any of us "gets inside" of an artwork, really inside of it, we will grow and expand as people. One of the blocks to doing this is too much extraneous stuff that gets in the way. I appreciate that Rosenbaum can talk as freely and knowledgeable about McCoy Tyner and Billie Holiday as much as Jerry Lewis, Pedro Costa, or Anna Biller and Guy Maddin. He is good friends with filmmaker Mark Rappaport who was also friends of my late father, Rosenbaum has always championed the underrated or unknown, like our very first guest on this podcast, Jon Jost . Sometimes the personal and artistic commingle and this is where a culture can really develop. It was heartening to hear him say cinephilia is living and living well. As he continues to teach into the future I hope others, too, become cinephiles.” Jonathan’s Bio: Jonathan Rosenbaum was film critic for the Chicago Reader from 1987 to 2008. His books include CINEMATIC ENCOUNTERS 2 (2019), CINEMATIC ENCOUNTERS (2018), GOODBYE CINEMA, HELLO CINEPHILIA (2010), THE UNQUIET AMERICAN (2009), DISCOVERING ORSON WELLES (2007), ESSENTIAL CINEMA (2004), MOVIE MUTATIONS (coedited with Adrian Martin, 2003), ABBAS KIAROSTAMI (with Mehrnaz Saeed-Vafa, 2003, 2018), MOVIE WARS (2000), DEAD MAN (2000), MOVIES AS POLITICS (1997), PLACING MOVIES (1995), THIS IS ORSON WELLES by Orson Welles and Peter Bogdanovich (edited, 1992), GREED (1991), MIDNIGHT MOVIES (with J. Hoberman, 1983), and MOVING PLACES (1980). He has taught at State University of New York at Stony Brook, New York University, the School of Visual Arts (in New York), the University of California branches at Berkeley, San Diego, and Santa Barbara, the University of Chicago, the University of St. Andrews (in Scotland), the School of the Art Institute of Chicago, KinoKlub Split (in Croatia), and FilmFactory (in Sarajevo).

Celebrated as one of Jean-Luc Godard's favorite American film critics, Jonathan Rosenbaum has had an esteemed career as a writer of weekly film columns, books, academic analyses, and autobiography via film (an inspiration for this very podcast). On today's episode we discuss why film culture is more connected now via the Internet than it ever was even in France in the 1970s, being an extra on a Robert Bresson film, his consulting contribution to Orson Welles's posthumous output through his friendship with Oja Kadar, his continued belief in the importance of film lists, and his influential tenure at the Chicago Reader until leaving in 2008.Rosenbaum still writes about film on his website, and his most recent book is Cinematic Encounters 2: Portraits and Polemics.
No less than Jean-Luc Godard called Jonathan Rosenbaum the best living American film critic, and for decades his hugely influential writing has been political, internationally conscious, skeptical of received wisdom, and enormously curious about forms of cinema beyond mainstream. Our own Will Sloan talks to Rosenbaum to discuss his career, his politics, and how the cinematic landscape has changed since the ‘90s.

It’s goodbye for real this time as the boys discuss the controversial animated film that began life as a script by Jacques Tati. American critics generally welcomed Sylvain Chomet’s The Illusionist in 2010. Based on a script by Tati and featuring his likeness, the film earned an Academy Award nomination, several Annie Award nominations and, best of all, a Golden Globe nomination. Purists and members of Tati’s family were decidedly less fond of the film. Jonathan Rosenbaum and Roger Ebert both received emails from one of Tati’s grandchildren calling The Illusionist an affront to his legacy and “a sabotage” of his original script. Tune in to this week’s Reel Rap to hear Shane and Bennett discuss that legacy, wonder aloud about that original script and express mixed feelings about Chomet’s film.

Einzelgespräch mit Hal Hartley zu «The Girl From Monday» , geführt von Michel Bodmer (stellvertretender Leiter des Filmpodiums Zürich) am Sundance Festivals 2005. Statt Filmen wollen wir Ihnen während der Corona-bedingten Schliesslung des Filmpodiums online andere Aspekte der Filmkultur vermitteln. In seiner rund 35-jährigen Tätigkeit als Filmkritiker hat Michel Bodmer, stellvertretender Leiter des Filmpodiums, Dutzende von Interviews mit Filmschaffenden aus aller Welt und verschiedener Generationen geführt, teils in Form von sogenannten round tables bzw. Gruppeninterviews mit anderen Journalistinnen und Journalisten, teils in Form von one-on-ones bzw. Einzelinterviews. Von der Tonqualität sind diese teils über 30 Jahre alten Aufnahmen unterschiedlich; die Fragen versteht man in der Regel weniger gut als die Aussagen der Interviewten, die denn auch wichtiger sind. In einzelnen Fällen können die Gespräche mit Transkripten ergänzt werden. Wir hoffen, dass Sie trotz dieser Einschränkungen an den Gesprächen, die wir Ihnen nach und nach als Podcasts zum Privatgenuss anbieten, Gefallen finden. Die Rechte an der Reproduktion (auch in Auszügen) und der Weiterverbreitung (geschweige denn «viral» ...) sind vorbehalten. «Hal Hartleys exzentrischer, lustiger und sexy Film The Girl from Monday ist ein Science-Fiction-Thriller, der für die heutige Welt genauso relevant sein könnte wie Masculin Féminin Mitte der 1960er-Jahre – Hartley nennt ihn einen ‹Pseudo-Science-Fiction-Film über die Art und Weise, wie wir jetzt leben›. Er hat zwei sympathische Heldinnen. Das ‹Mädchen› des Titels sieht aus wie eine erwachsene Frau (gespielt vom gespenstischen brasilianischen Model Tatiana Abraços), obwohl sie eigentlich eine namenlose Ausserirdische aus der fernen Konstellation Monday ist – Teil einer körperlosen kollektiven Entität, die eine menschliche Gestalt angenommen hat. Die andere ist die mutige Managerin Cecile, die sich zur Widerstandskämpferin gewandelt hat. Der Held, Jack Bell, gibt sich als Manager aus, ist aber Teil desselben Kollektivs – ein Ausserirdischer auf Irrwegen, und das Mädchen wurde losgeschickt, um ihn zurückzuholen. (...) The Girl from Monday, poetische Satire und Genreparodie, malt sich eine Zukunft aus, in der eine Revolution, die ein Unternehmen namens MMM (Major Multimedia Monopoly) an die Macht brachte, zu einer ‹Diktatur des Konsumenten› geführt hat. Verfügbares Einkommen ist die wichtigste revolutionäre Tugend, jeder Einzelne gilt als ‹Investition mit Wachstumspotenzial›, und ‹die sexuell aktivsten und sexuell verfügbarsten Erwachsenen geben am meisten Geld aus›. Jeder hat am Handgelenk einen Barcode eintätowiert, und wenn zwei Personen sich für Sex entscheiden, scannen sie an einem Geldautomat-ähnlichen Gerät ihre Barcodes ein und erhöhen ihre jeweilige Bonität durch diese ‹Investition› ineinander. Dieser sozial korrekte Sex stärkt auch die Gesamtwirtschaft. (...) Wie in vielen von Hartleys früheren Werken werden die Dialoge in einem entspannten, trocken-komischen Tonfall gesprochen, der die oft überdrehte Bildebene verankert und einen ruhigeren, distanzierteren Blickwinkel vermittelt, von dem aus man die Handlung betrachten kann. Vor allem ist Hartleys verspielter Sinn für das Absurde, wenn er sich das Verhältnis von Konsumdenken und Sex vorknöpft, mehr philosophisch als politisch, nicht so sehr verzweifelt wie grimmig amüsiert – und deswegen nachdenklicher.» (Jonathan Rosenbaum, chicagoreadercom, 14.4.2005)

Dedicated listeners of The Cinephiliacs may be familiar with the phrase, "And then I discovered Jonathan Rosenbaum's writing," as countless cinephiles have been inspired by his many words in the Chicago Reader and beyond. Thus, this latest episode of the podcast interviews the man who championed films beyond the canon, exploring cinema through an essayistic, often deeply personal love for the movies. Jonathan discusses his upbringing in Alabama, seeing the French New Wave from the front lines, a short dip into academia, and his role in looking at the strange world of taste culture and its ties to the Hollywood industry. Then, the two dive into the recently restored mammoth of a film that has been waiting to enter the canon: Jacques Rivette's 13 hour Out 1. They discuss this work of connections in post-May '68 Paris that may or may not be a secret Balzac-influenced conspiracy, engaging the viewer to find the fiction in the documentary and the documentary in the fiction. 0:00-2:48 Opening3:20-11:31 Establishing Shots - Reviews from AFI Fest12:17-1:02:55 Deep Focus - Jonathan Rosenbaum1:03:48-1:05:28 Mubi Sponsorship1:06:32-1:31:10 Double Exposure - Out 1 (Jacques Rivette)1:31:14-1:33:59 Close / Outtakes

What is the "work" of film criticism? That question takes center stage in a lively new episode of the podcast, in which Peter travels to Toronto, Canada to talk movies with critic and writer Calum Marsh. Calum traces his cinephilia to his VHS and DVD days in suburban England, eventually developing via the influence of rigorous Jonathan Rosenbaum, and then swinging to an attempt to understand how film criticism can work more similarly to the great literary critics. They talk the beauty of Blackhat and the Kim's Video generation, but most of all they discuss prose and its function in describing a visual medium. They then top it off with a look at Whit Stillman's wondrous nostalgia critique, The Last Days of Disco, using Stillman's own novelization of his work as an examination of the different worlds of cinema and literature. 0:00-1:53 Opening2:37-9:38 Establishing Shots - Gems from UCLA's Festival of Preservation10:23-59:27 Deep Focus - Calum Marsh1:00:04-1:02:16 Mubi Sponsorship - Travel Plans and Broken Specs1:03:43 -1:26:57 Double Exposure - The Last Days of Disco (Whit Stillman)1:27:01-1:28:58 Close / Outtake
