Gang of Four: 77-81, an LP compilation of the English post-punk band’s seminal work that was originally scheduled for this past December, will now be released on March 12th after a delay due to production issues. (A CD version will arrive later on April 23rd.)
The limited-edition box set gathers Gang of Four’s influential early work from the late Seventies and early Eighties, including Entertainment! and Solid Gold (both remastered from the original analog tapes), an exclusive singles LP, and an exclusive double LP of the never...

Next month will mark the return of New York City’s Quad Cinema, a theater reshaped and rebranded as a proper theater via the resources of Charles S. Cohen, head of the distribution outfit Cohen Media Group. While we got a few hints of the line-up during the initial announcement, they’ve now unveiled their first full repertory calendar, running from April 14th through May 4th, and it’s an embarassment of cinematic riches.
Including the previously revealed Lina Wertmüller retrospective, one inventive series that catches our eye is First Encounters, in which an artist will get to experience a film they’ve always wanted to see, but never have, and in which you’re invited to take part. The first match-ups in the series include Kenneth Lonergan‘s first viewing Edward Yang‘s Yi Yi, Noah Baumbach‘s first viewing of Withnail and I, John Turturro‘s first viewing of Pather Panchali,...

IndieWire’s Anne Thompson, Gold Derby’s Tom O’Neil, Variety’s Tim Gray and Deadline’s Pete Hammond are back for Part 2 of their Oscar predictions discussion; this time focusing on the craft and short film categories.
The awards editors address the possibility that following Donald Trump’s Muslim Ban, Asghar Farhadi’s “The Salesman” could win the Best Foreign-Language Film Oscar. “A lot of people are going to vote for [it] as a political statement,” says Hammond.
There’s anger at Trump from the global film community — and Farhadi decided not to attend the Oscars. The gang of four spoke about what kind of statement the Academy might want to make with their Best Picture winner.

When French New Wave icon Jacques Rivette passed away earlier this year, the outpour of admiration from the film community was deafening, with obituaries flooding the internet and retrospectives quickly taking shape at film centers across the country. It has been almost a year since Rivette’s death, but luckily he’ll continue to thrive on the big screen well into 2017 and beyond. Film distributor Cohen Media Group has acquired 10 features by Rivette for restoration and release under the Cohen Film Collection banner. Variety first reported the news.

A friend and a contributor to the Notebook has taken a deep breath of air and expanded his droll short films—which we’ve featured on Mubi—into a modest feature that received a decidedly impressive premiere at the Berlin International Film Festival in February and will next show at the New Directors/New Films collaboration between New York's Film Society of Lincoln Center and the Museum of Modern Art.Short Stay does not feel like a bigger film than director Ted Fendt's charmingly ill-fitting shorts, but rather is more robust, fuller in passing detail and commonplace incident. In other words: unassuming, but charged. This new movie very much resembles Fendt’s wonderful shorts, which feature young people of unenunciated dissatisfaction and nearly inscrutable psychology living small scale lives full of long-time acquaintances, a few friendships, over-visited family homes, and well-trod suburban and small town strolls. Fendt is also...

Inbetweeners mania never really caught on in America—MTV’s 2012 version was yanked after one season. But the British sitcom has exploded into an enormous big-screen success at the U.K. box-office. The sequel to the hit 2011 film scored more than $21 million over the weekend, crushing Transformers, Dawn of the Planet of the Apes, How to Train Your Dragon 2, X-Men, and Guardians of the Galaxy’s openings to claim the United Kingdom’s biggest weekend debut of 2014 and biggest-ever opening day for a live-action comedy.

With 2010 only a week over, it already feels like best-of and top-ten lists have been pouring in for months, and we’re already tired of them: the ranking, the exclusions (and inclusions), the rules and the qualifiers. Some people got to see films at festivals, others only catch movies on video; and the ability for us, or any publication, to come up with a system to fairly determine who saw what when and what they thought was the best seems an impossible feat. That doesn’t stop most people from doing it, but we liked the fantasy double features we did last year and for our 3rd Writers Poll we thought we'd do it again.
I asked our contributors to pick a single new film they saw in 2010—in theaters or at a festival—and creatively pair it with an old film they saw in 2010 to create a unique double feature.

Darren Aronofsky: a resourceful technician (Pi) of considerable range but little imagination (Requiem for a Dream), after attempting an artwork of his own (The Fountain), resigns himself to a career fixated on art, but capable only of chronicling it (The Wrestler, Black Swan).
Aronofsky's two most recent films are essentially the same movie—a drama about a second-rate artist with family problems, haunted by (the reality of / possibility of) aging, who pushes him or herself to suicidal limits, done with a tinge of body horror and closing with a performance—and I get the sense that it's the movie Aronofsky will make for years to come (which is no problem: both films are pretty good, with the second one being a bit more consistent than the first). Obsessed by darkness but lacking an inner darkness of his own, he has gazed deep within himself, tried his best tragic artist / egoist routine (in The Fountain,...
