Currently available to watch over at the Exquisite Shorts Program

Has the same, singular, contradictory energy (sentimental and yet not, clear- and misty-eyed, reflexive and practical, wild and restrained, shot through with death and the unfussy facing of it) as Une Histoire de vent, and that's a very special thing.

Stylistically insane to start with and then Vera Farmiga accidentally stumbles out of her thankless wife role into the Poughkeepsie Tapes and I became enraptured. A prime sleazy skeezy curdled thriller.

So unlike anything that has existed before, so relentlessly unrepresentative of how human beings act and interact, so uninterested in what human beings watch and respond to that it's almost a bold and transcendent new form of cinema. Almost.
