Inde Navarrette‘s performance in Obsession has been living rent free in my head. Hoping to see it again theatrically.
not absolute cinema.
This profile of Backrooms director Kane Parsons, 20, by @kylebuchanan.bsky.social is fascinating. In some ways it's the story of so many filmmaking prodigies (Scorsese)--an indoor kid w/ a physical issue & tech mastery. But his references and politics are pure 2026. www.nytimes.com/2026/05/29/m...
Mungiu is a tremendous filmmaker and deserving of the Palme for his career body of work. I look forward to seeing FJORD.
the book is finally going to print. You wouldn’t believe what it took to build this index, which I did 100% manually because I refused to use any AI in this book. This took weeks and cost a lot of sleep, but was totally worth it.
I’m really thrilled that Kane Parsons has a platform for this. I’m so impressed with Backrooms. As for his age, we can expect a lot more from him.
It’s a big day! Pallet of books arrived this morning and we got our first Amazon review! I expect as more people get the book, there’ll be more feedback. These are review copies and pre-orders that should start shipping soon.
Just posted an AMA about the book. Would love a few visits with questions.
