Among the highlights to hit theaters this week is Jon Shenk's docu-portrait of former Maldives President Mohamed Nasheed (who was deposed since the making of the film.) For the rest, tread carefully.
It's been awhile since the last roundup of links to my work, so here is a belated collection of my recent reviews. Of special interest here are my four pieces from this year's edition of Lincoln Center and the Museum of Modern Art's New Directors/New Films festival.
While this week's high-profile release Project X does little more than revel in its own juvenile antics, the far less heralded (and unfortunately titled) Art Is... the Permanent Revolution offers an incisive look at the ongoing tradition of politically motivated printmaking. I reviewed both films this week, along with the mediocre New Zealand offering Boy.
