Coverage of The 54th New York Film Festival

The Ornithologist (Joāo Pedro Rodrigues, 2016) 

The 54th New York Film Festival was strong, maybe not as strong as the 52nd, but strong nonetheless. I saw many good films and a few great films (A Quiet Passion and The Death of Louis XIV). Below you'll find a collection of pieces I wrote for Brooklyn Magazine, Desistfilm, and Hyperallergic:

• Spawn of the North (Henry Hathaway, 1938), Brooklyn Magazine

• I Called Him Morgan (Kasper Collin, 2016), Desistfilm

• Neruda (Pablo Larraín, 2016), Desistfilm

• Paterson (Jim Jarmusch, 2016), Desistfilm

• "A Film Captures the Slow, Painful, and Breathtaking Death of Louis XIV," [The Death of Louis XIV, Albert Serra, 2016], Hyperallergic

Cilaos (Camilo Restrepo, 2016)

Mead's World [Taylor Mead]

In the fourth issue of Art Decades, I wrote about the Underground icon, Taylor Mead. Highlighting many of his roles throughout his five-decade career, I examine Mead's performances in such works as The Queen of Sheba Meets the Atom Man (1963), The Nude Restaurant (1967), Candy and Daddy (1972), and Coffee and Cigarettes (2003). Sadly, many of the films that he appears in are still hard to see.
