Tonight at @offscreenff.bsky.social I'll be introducing William Richert's mad all-star political conspiracy thriller WINTER KILLS (1979), Cinema Nova 7pm. Adapted from a novel by Richard Condon also wrote THE MANCHURIAN CANDIDATE); the story behind the film is as wild & crazy as the film itself.

THE FURIOUS! I wanted this for @offscreenff.bsky.social (though it's not strictly an Offscreen kind of film) but it wasn't to be. Kidnapped kid = that's the plot. Trailer makes it look brutal, but MVP is fight choreography which you don't see that much of here: INCREDIBLE. Best since THE RAID!

Francophone Belgium's equivalent of the Academy is named in honour of director André Delvaux, but it failed to mention his centenary at its awards ceremony this month. The Dardenne brothers lead a protest at this slight and broader neglect of Delvaux's legacy.
André Delvaux a 100 ans et son œuvre attend dans le noir !

There’s something about Sandra Hüller’s performance in PROJECT HAIL MARY, both precise and effortless. She softens the edges of a character who, in the book, was a bit one-dimensional and annoying, making her far more human. And that karaoke scene!
