Octavio Paz has said: 'an imprisoned man has only to close his eyes to be able to blow up the world.' I would add, in paraphrase: it would suffice for the white pupil of the cinema screen to reflect the light which is proper to it, to blow up the universe. the cinema is capable of putting him into a state of ecstasy more effectively than any other mode of human expression. but more effectively than any other, it is capable of brutalising him. --Luis Bunuel

Film Vlog: Zero Dark Thirty (2012)


Here's my review of Zero Dark Thirty. I was hoping that when I went to this screening at the DGA that Kathryn Bigelow and Jessica Chastain would be there but sadly, they weren't. But I'm hoping I can catch another Q&A with them this month! *fingers crossed. Zero Dark Thirty was incredibly powerful and probably my second favorite film of 2012 below Amour. It opens everywhere January 11th so please go see it.
