The selection of films incorporates some of the most significant (and most
discussed) examples of
international «art
cinema» and off - Hollywood cult
cinema from recent years, the bulk of them released between 2000 and 2006; examples include In the Mood for Love (Wong Kar - wai, 2000), Memento (Christopher Nolan, 2000), Mulholland Drive (David Lynch, 2001), Irreversible (Gaspar Noé, 2002), Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind (Michel Gondry, 2004), and Caché (Michael Haneke, 2005).
The Week in Movies
discusses the last seven days in
cinema — including new Star Wars: The Force Awakens footage in the
international trailer, the first images of Benedict Cumberbatch as Doctor Strange and much, much more... The Week in Movies is an excerpt from the weekly Flickering Myth Super Newsletter.
And one needn't take a stand on the validity of auteurism as a framework for
discussing movies to acknowledge the way it continues to dominate discussions of current works of
international art
cinema; those of us invested in movies as art continue to latch on to the director as artist.
