Elaborately staged and intricately orchestrated, Tarr’s worlds are inhabited by isolated communities and characters poetically depicted in long takes and slow camera movements that express a sense of time and place-as well as identification with character-that is inimitably cinematic. These three films represent the striking vision of a director many believe to be the most important living Eastern European filmmaker, the astonishing conjuring of an artist Jonathan Rosenbaum calls a master illusionist. Damnation and Sátántangó, presented here in prints on loan from Hungary, round out the trilogy. Since Sontag’s essay, Tarr has completed Werckmeister Harmonies, his third collaboration with Hungarian novelist László Krasznahorkai. Little seen but energetically celebrated, they have been championed by Susan Sontag, whose 1995 lament on the death of cinephilia is tempered by the hope that Tarr-and a select group of other contemporary filmmakers-would be able to continue creating unique, transformative cinematic experiences. Screened at prestigious international film festivals and the subject of US retrospectives as early as 1996, the majority of Tarr’s films remain undistributed in this country. It is a testament to the power and originality of the films of Hungarian director Béla Tarr that their critical acclaim and legendary reputation far exceed their availability.

The author of Into the Blue and Fly with Me returns with the newest, hot and high-flying Wild Aces romance…Ī year after losing her husband, Joker, the squadron commander of the Wild Aces, Dani Peterson gets an offer from his best friend, Alex “Easy” Rogers, to help fix up her house. Feyi isn’t ready for anything serious, but a steamy encounter at a rooftop party cascades into a whirlwind summer she could have never imagined: a luxury trip to a tropical island, decadent meals in the glamorous home of a celebrity chef, and a major curator who wants to launch her art career. It’s been five years since the accident that killed the love of her life and she’s almost a new person now-an artist with her own studio and sharing a brownstone apartment with her ride-or-die best friend, Joy, who insists it’s time for Feyi to ease back into the dating scene.

This month’s theme was once again We Love Short-Shorts, focusing on shorter reads, and I could think of no better - nor more timely and appropriate - novella in my TBR list than the prequel to Courtney Milan’s Brothers Sinister series. There’s nothing more comforting to me than structure and purpose, therefore what better way to start my new year off on the right foot than to rejoin the TBR Challenge reading and reviews? But I am determined to pick myself up, dust myself off, and start all over again. So, now I feel like something akin to a somnambulant bear emerging from their hibernation cave. I spent most of the past year in a useless state of anxiety, disillusionment, and depression, only writing three posts over the course of the entire year.
