from surplus thought

ecevit was an interesting figure. i used to prefer him to demirel. when i was a little boy, sitting on the floor in the living room and watching the news on the black and white tv with my parents, every night ecevit and demirel would come out and put on something not so different than a laurel and hardy show-at least in my (probably) six years old eyes and imagination.

What a drag

Serge Gainsbourg is remembered as a celebrated lover, wit and songwriter. But when Nick Kent spent a week with him, the crumbling deity was a death-fixated raging alcoholic

Throughout my career as a music journalist, I've often found myself sharing the same orbit as some of the more maladjusted talents of the late 20th century, but nothing could have prepared me for the time I spent with Serge Gainsbourg, the louche, turtle-eyed genius of la chanson Française, little more than two years before his death.

it is indeed tempting to gather together certain films that have "family resemblance". perhaps it is a modernist drive to classify, or perhaps a fetishistic fascination to collect. yet at the same time when films that explore similar themes are brought together, their differences make it possible to articulate something entirely new.

for instance, there is a family resemblance among the following films.
