There was a screening in New York/Manhattan yesterday at the Chelsea Clearview (?) so messages on the imdb say.

"Breaking and Entering was excellent. I submitted a longer comment to IMDB that should be posted in a few days, but here is the gist: Minghella's direction is excellent. He is an acute observer of human relationships. He finds the right pace and tone for the story. The acting is top-notch all around. Jude Law gives his best performance. Minghella always brings out the best in him. Juliette Binoche is sublime and Robin Wright Penn is radiant. Rafi Gavron is outstanding and Vera Farmiga and Martin Freeman are very funny in smaller roles. The cinematography is stunning and the score was very modern and elegant. It was a rough cut, and I can't wait to see the finished film when it gets released."

"Minghella's got a winner here. Will it receive any Oscar nods? I think Binoche certainly deserves one, though the performances are great across the board. Vera Farmiga is the crowd pleaser, though, when it comes to the movie's humor. She plays a Romanian prostitute whose frank dialogue with Jude Law's character, Will, had the audience in stitches. Her performance is not to be missed."

"I think if the recent AMPAS trend for smaller character dramas continues, I could defiently see Breaking and Entering nominated for Picture, Director, Actor, Actress and Supporting Actress (not sure about the placement though, both Robin Wright Penn and Juliette Binoche have about the same amount of screen time. It could be Penn-lead Binoche-supporting or vice versa. A case could be made for each.), Original Screenplay, Cinematography, Editing and Score. But with an August release date it could very well be ignored."

August release date??

speaking of Dada (f/ today's post)

anyone in the DC area should check out the Dada exhibit at the National Gallery. It was suprisingly big, and had some really great pieces.

they have tapes of all their programs too, so you can have a whole program of it. (edit: though not sure they can help out on PAL format though).

looks they they were major pushers, or precursors, to the indexical mark in art. the act of acting as the art and the presentation of it secondary, as in after the art itself of acting.
yes?

Karl, while digging and sifting through databases at my university's library on a film noir project I'm in the middle of I did a bit of searching on Black Mountain. Here is just a bit of what I found.

a book from MIT

a John Cage interview

an essay about the school

General info on the school from the state

some info on Charles Olson

The Charles Olson Research Collection

Expect more later when I have more time.

a couple of days late, but this guy is seriously underrated for his thoughts and was part of the black mountain clan.

his book "critical path" is a really interesting read - a big picture kind of guy with his eye and mind on the issues focused on humanity. enjoy.
