The exercise involves placing tape on a student’s skin, then removing it to show what has transferred from the skin to the tape. What remains on the tape is supposed to represent the emotional baggage resulting from sex.

Sure, I guess once you ignore that Adolf Hitler was a politician it really does seem rather insane to link the actions of a Nazi to a particular political ideology.

Fellow editors of *cinema* recognize a solid Kurt Kren homage when they see one, even if no one else does.

Look, I’m not saying Trump knows anything about young women being duct-taped and thrown in the back of cars for purposes of human trafficking, but do you remember when Trump gave detailed descriptions of women being duct-taped and thrown in the back of cars for purposes of human trafficking?

Present as a Trump supporter/nationalist. No need to broadcast your radical views.

Funny you should ask. . . .

Marguerite Young’s Harp Song for a Radical is a really wonderful panoramic view of Debs and his era. It’s not a traditional biography, really, but Young was a beautiful and poetic writer who should be more widely recognized in her own right.

My guess is these are the same sorts who would look at Richard Henry Pratt (if they bothered at all) and think, “Well, he was against racial segregation, so he was a good guy!” They’d never get to wrapping their brains around the part where his preferred alternative to racial segregation was the complete annihilation…

The “see something, say something” campaign weaponized the hallucinations of those privileged enough to be listened to by authorities.

Wow, the kid was a sleeper agent the whole time.

“A movement against capitalism,” she says.

Same for me. Dreyer’s mastery would be enough to make it a great film, but Falconetti’s performance is utterly miraculous. (Artaud as a monk is a nice touch, too.)

I agree Kahlo’s politics weren’t more important than her style (I think to some extent they were pretty intertwined), but I also agree with Hazel’s overall point that her style is persistently magnified to the exclusion of these other aspects of her life. It seems to give a woefully incomplete picture of Kahlo’s life…

Not only that but if some random guy named, uh, *scrolls back up* Cliff can dupe Trump, are we really supposed to believe that Vladimir Putin isn’t playing the guy like a fiddle?

International Treasure it is! You’re absolutely right.

I honestly don’t see how Kanye donating money makes Roden Crater lose any appeal. Turrell has site specific works in other places, yes, but absolutely nothing on the scale of Roden Crater. This is an enormous, quixotic venture that has cost Turrell dearly in more ways than one. Everything you say is, of course,…

Founding Fathers aside, the thing that gets me is that taxing income relative to wealth is literally Adam Smith’s first canon of taxation:

“This particular country white supremacists just happen to routinely fantasize being a model ethnostate and I were born just a year apart, how dare you accuse me of racism based on my own words!”

I have not, but will add it to my list. I appreciate the recommendation, thank you!

I really appreciate this article! I am incredibly fascinated by the Bluebeard story and its history. I just wanted to put a plug in for Jacques Demy’s Donkey Skin (starring Catherine Deneuv!) and Charlie Chaplin’s woefully underappreciated Monsieur Verdoux. Also, Anna Biller’s next film is. . . Bluebeard! I am so…
