The Book of the New Sun appendices are so funny in their commitment to obscurity. It'll be like "yeah Destriers are mentioned a lot, no idea what they look like - they seem faster than a horse if that helps."

@CoreyAtad As with so much of the response to that film it's approaching it with the head rather than the heart

At least 90% of my favourite films of East Asian cinema on Blu ray have a Tony Rayns video essay or interview on there. Always great work. Huge loss - RIP

Rest in peace Tony Rayns, quite possibly the most consequential Western figure in spreading the worldwide recognition of East Asian cinema.

RIP Tony Rayns, one of the few English-language critics who genuinely knew what they were talking about (most of the time) when it came to East Asian cinema, especially Hong Kong's.

@parti_party @YoungerPope To be fair, usually you'd rather just feel it than have to look for the visual cues to tell you something. Big yellow sun with bright blue skies feels hot - grey feels overcast feels like nothing until you look for shadows which isn't exactly visceral

@realJackEason Gotta check more of their stuff. It's especially good for box sets because it can make each disc a whole affair - short, feature, interview/doc. Seems like a nice way to get more shorts out there too beyond a couple years of festivals and maybe YouTube

Very sad news. A true champion of cinema, as an actor of course, but also as a producer, helping to get work by Martel, Weerasethakul, RaMell Ross and others made. I can only send best wishes to him and his family and thank him for everything he's so generously given.

Typically don't engage in much or any of the film discourses because people approach things in such stupid and closed-off ways. Instead I just ingest it all and let the arguments ferment in the hate centre of my brain

Jerzy Kawalerowicz's 1966 movie Pharaoh brings the scale, wonder, and production of Eastern European medieval/period cinema to Ancient Egypt, and it rocks.
