  • Collecting Images of Liberation (Befrielsesbilleder, 1982)

    It is a challenge* to find commentary online about Lars von Trier’s film school graduation piece, Befrielsesbilleder (translated as Image of Relief / Liberation Pictures/Photos or variants of these words).

On the other hand, it’s nice that there are twenty-six films in May alone that seem to be worth watching. For previews and…

  • My IMDb films of 2012

    I’ve been using IMDb’s customizable lists and ratings system for at least 10 years. Here is a typed list of films and TV shows that were released in the Louisville area this year that I’ve seen. I’m also including screenshots of my complete list of ratings for the year: things I’ve watched and rated regardless…
