Danny Brown’s Quaranta serves as a sort of spiritual sequel to 2011’s XXX: That project was completed right when he turned 30, and “quaranta” means 40 in Italian. But the album that Quaranta is most comparable to, at least on a thematic level, is 2016’s Atrocity Exhibition, as both depict addiction as a life-or-death struggle. And unlike the Edm on 2013’s Old, you’d be hard-pressed to start raging to much of the material here.
While Atrocity Exhibition’s production was hectic and borderline bonkers, Quaranta’s is far more subdued. Tracks like “Tantor” are classic off-the-wall Danny Brown joints featuring the rapper-singer’s traditional leftfield vocal delivery and compositional quirks, but that’s more the exception than the rule. The remaining songs are largely contemplative and heavy, with slower, spacier beats that complement Brown’s understated and gravely flow.

Warner Bros. Discovery has said British laws that restrict the period distributors can require exhibitors to screen their films may now be “outdated,” and it is time for the UK government to consider repealing the legislation.
The longtime Exhibition Periods law, codified in 1996, limits the period a distributor may require an exhibitor to show a film in the first six weeks of theatrical release to a maximum of two weeks.
Warner Bros. said that “given the move to digital exhibition and additional flexibility exhibitors have to show screenings,” the Periods law may no longer hold relevance, and scrapping the law may open up new sources of revenue for distributors.
Warner Bros. made the comments in a written submission to the UK Parliament’s influential Culture, Media, and Sport Committee, which is holding an inquiry on high-end film and TV.

You wait years for a documentary about the Dutch Baroque Period’s most famous painter and then two come along at once. Hot on the heels of Exhibition On Screen’s Vermeer: The Greatest Exhibition comes Suzanne Raes’ Close To Vermeer, which centres on the same exhibition at the Rijksmuseum but, you will be pleased to hear, takes a different and complementary approach. Following curators Gregor Weber and Pieter Roelofs, and conservators Abbie Vandivere and Anna Krekeler, it literally lets you see the artist’s works more closely than you are likely ever to have done before, as they go under the microscope to reveal forensic secrets. The results will change the way you think about Vermeer forever.
These are passionate people (one describes fainting when he first encountered Vermeer paintings directly) so casual viewers may at first feel a little uncertain, but Raes knows what she’s doing and soon begins to unfold a.

Nothing can damage you as much as your upbringing, and the lack of parental love at home. Growing up with a single father Chua (multiple awarded Taiwanese actor/ director/ screenwriter Leon Dai) who is incapable of expressing his emotions, the sixteen-year-old Meng (Edward Tan) is slowly transforming into the spitting image of him, projecting the frustration and anger about the life he was born into. “Can you stop being a good-for-nothing? is the thing he gets to hear between the blows he endures at home, instead of comfort for being the targeted victim at school. From a peaceful and loving boy, he briefly becomes a radically opposite person, pushed to evolve into another working class bully. So, where does he go from there once the father is dead and gone?

There’s a melancholy tone to this latest work from Exhibition On Screen which never really goes away. The familiar story of a talented artist who spent his life in poverty (losing three of his eight children along the way) because his commitment to developing new ideas and testing the boundaries of the possible was incompatible with commercial success. It’s a story, though, of a man whose influence not only resounded through the work of his fellow impressionists but can still be seen in art being produced today.
Combining the story of Camille Pissarro’s life with a tour of an exhibition of his work at Oxford’s Ashmolean Museum, as well as trips to see some of his other work elsewhere, this film is a rich portrait of a complicated man. It follows his journey from St Thomas in the Danish the West Indies, where he was born,...

It’s early morning in LA and Joanna Hogg is looking back. It is a process the filmmaker has grown accustomed to in recent years, not least with her latest film. Less a sequel to its acclaimed predecessor than a mirror––even a Matryoshka––and examination of how people remember things, or how they might choose for them to be remembered, The Souvenir Part II reintroduces the viewer to Julie (Honor Swinton Byrne), now deep in mourning for her doomed lover Anthony, an enigma to whom she has devoted her graduation film. Layers beget layers: “I got so many ideas from that first shoot,” Hogg says over Zoom, “and the second part is a response to that shoot. It’s almost like I’m making some kind of documentation of that experience that I had had, not just the characters within the story.”

While it is a warranted opinion to bemoan the endless output of sequels, an exception can certainly be made for Joanna Hogg’s follow-up The Souvenir Part II––not only one of the best films of the year, but also one of the best sequels of all-time, layering upon what came before while expanding the story in moving, daring ways. Picking up right after the previous film left off, the cast features a mix of familiar faces and new players, including Honor Swinton Byrne, Tilda Swinton, Richard Ayoade, Charlie Heaton, Harris Dickinson, Joe Alwyn, Ariane Labed, and James Spencer Ashworth. Following its Cannes and NYFF premieres, A24 will release the film in theaters on October 29 and now the first trailer has landed.

At the end of The Souvenir, Joanna Hogg filmed a film in the process of being made. She returns with The Souvenir Part II, a film all about filmmaking and its layered realities and projections. One of the best British directors to emerge this century, Hogg first made her name as a brilliant examiner of the British middle-classes, a fine-comber of their vagaries and mores. One of the most interesting things about her earlier films—Unrelated (2007), Archipelago (2010), and Exhibition (2013)—was the rigor with which she kept her distance: shooting from afar, fragments of conversations, few close-ups. For The Souvenir, a candid work of autofiction, she went the opposite direction and had her biggest success while also making her most conventional work.
The Souvenir Part II is anything but: a daring work of meta-filmmaking in which Hogg loops backwards to re-reexamine her own past (in some ways it is more a...

"A revealing exhibition of triumph and tragedy." Exhibition On Screen has unveiled an official trailer for their latest art documentary offering, titled simply Sunflowers. The Exhibition On Screen series is about taking us closer into the art world and sharing new details with everyone watching these films in cinemas, without having to go a museum or gallery. This time they focus on the Sunflowers paitnings by the iconic Vincent Van Gogh. Director David Bickerstaff explains: "This cinematic journey brought the sunflowers series into sharper focus for me and revealed a new insight to the tragic circumstances that followed. [...] Drama, struggle and a passion for life can be seen in every dash of paint in the Sunflower paintings. In my opinion, each one shows an honesty and a virtuosity that speaks to the enduring power of an extraordinary artist, who lived an extraordinary life." It features five of the famous Arles Sunflowers from collections in London,...

Many women, early in their romantic lives, have an experience with a “bad boy,” a charming rogue who just is not good for them. The Souvenir, director Joanna Hogg’s semi-autobiographical drama, presents a particularly dangerous version of that romantic experience. What really boosted this British drama into a Sundance hit, winning the Grand Jury Prize, was the breakout performance of Honor Swinton Byrne, the daughter of Tilda Swinton (who also appears in the film) and her ex, Scottish playwright and artist John Byrne.
Honor Swinton Byrne plays Julie, a shy, ambitious British film student. Julie is from a wealthy, aristocratic family and has led a very sheltered and privileged life. Living in a London apartment in upscale Knightsbridge, she is struggling to establish her own adult identity and...

Remember the name Honor Swinton Byrne — her star is born. In The Souvenir, she plays Julie, a film student in 1980s London who’s being set up to learn a lot of things the hard way. Written and directed by the bracingly brilliant Joanna Hogg, this delicate, dazzling memoir traces her own origin story, and there is something superheroic about her struggle to look back without hitting the brick wall of formula and weepy nostalgia. In her fourth feature, following Unrelated (2007), Archipelago (2010) and Exhibition (2013), Hogg refuses to hand-hold her audience,...

“Show don’t tell” is how Joanna Hogg directs The Souvenir. Hogg is the former photographer and experimental filmmaker behind Archipelago (2010), and Exhibition (2013). Those films made a splash on the European indie scene but not many waves on this side of the Atlantic. Here she withholds the narrative to only slowly reveals what her film is about. We first meet a young film student Julie (Honor Swinton Byrne) in 1980s London, trying to make it in film school. Perhaps this is a character study somewhat based on Hogg’s own life? Only later do we discover that it’s about an intense all consuming co-dependent relationship between our lead and a sweet but drug-addicted snobbish man who works for the foreign office (Tom Burke)...

Above: Soviet poster for The Ghost That Never Returns (Abram Room, Soviet Union, 1929). Designed by the Sternberg Brothers.Have you seen what’s playing on Mubi lately? Many of you who read my column may not often partake of the best of what Mubi has to offer, which is a beautifully curated, constantly changing selection of films which amounts to a top-notch repertory cinema on your laptop and in your living room. Now that Mubi is on the Roku app too there is even more reason to subscribe to the best film streaming deal on the internet. I know, I know, there is always too much to see and too little time, but for me what elevates Mubi over other streaming services—and I’m not just saying this because I write for them—is the 30-day model which offers you a new surprise every morning as well as the...

Mubi is showing Joanna Hogg's Unrelated (2007) from January 13 - February 12 and her Exhibition (2013) from January 14 - February 13 in the United States.ExhibitionJoanna Hogg’s films, including Unrelated and Exhibition, can at least partly be viewed in the tradition of British realist films: for example, with their long, static takes, casting of non-professional actors in addition to professional ones, or discarding the classicist narrative structure in favor of a more open-ended, episodic organization. However, instead of a narrative focus on the domestic situations of the working class, Hogg’s films focus exclusively on the emotional life of the social and economical elites; while her work could perhaps be said to be linked to Mike Leigh formally, thematically it has more in common with the alienated bourgeois of Michelangelo Antonioni. In her films, especially Unrelated and Exhibition, she explores the (sometimes self-imposed) constraints of the life of upper-class women; but though...

Damian Lewis’s puritanical minister and Andrea Riseborough’s terrorised wife must deal with an unexpected arrival
Stunning views of the Isle of Mull lend much-needed beauty to this sternly overwrought tale of puritanical minister Balor McNeil (Damian Lewis) terrorising his outsider wife Aislin (Andrea Riseborough) on an increasingly deserted Scottish island. When young offender Fionn (Ross Anderson) is dumped on his doorstep, the minister’s perpetual seething enters a new register, so it’s a relief to everyone when he sets sail on a boat full of church pews, leaving wife and incomer to fend for themselves. Cinematographer Ed Rutherford, who worked wonders for Joanna Hogg on Archipelago and Exhibition, skilfully marks the tonal shift from shadowy storm clouds to hallucinogenic sunshine, leaving Riseborough and Anderson to frolic briefly in this fragile new Eden, awaiting the returning tempest. Writer-director Corinna McFarlane counterposes Bergmanesque interiors with gaping exteriors, while Alastair Caplin’s eerie,...

Ahrc-funded report also finds that only 1.5% of key personnel on UK film productions in 2015 were Bame women.
An Ahrc-funded (Arts and Humanities Research Council) report conducted by the University of Southampton has concluded that only 20% of production personnel on UK films in 2015 were women.
Calling the Shots: women and contemporary film culture in the UK analysed the numbers of directors, writers, producers, executive producers, cinematographers and editors, and concluded that the “vast majority of key production personnel in the UK film industry are still men”.
Furthermore, the report states that of those women, only 7% were Bame (Black, Asian and minority ethnic), making Bame women less than 1.5% of all key personnel on UK film productions last year.
Of the roles analysed, women were best represented as producers (27%), while only 7% of all cinematographer were women, none of whom were Bame.
The study follows last week’s Directors UK report, which cited “unconscious, systemic bias” towards...

David Farr’s tale of a young couple and their peculiar neighbours downstairs oozes anxiety and paranoia
This home-grown psychological chiller starts with an ultrasound image of an unborn baby’s face and a la-la-la theme which evokes Krzysztof Komeda’s lullaby from Rosemary’s Baby. The spirit of Polanski looms large as young middle-class couple Kate (Clémence Poésy) and Justin (Stephen Campbell Moore) find their expectant anxieties mirrored by the new couple in the downstairs flat, with whose barely repressed “otherness” they become inextricably, guiltily intertwined. Playwright and theatre director David Farr (who co-wrote Joe Wright’s Hanna and scripted TV’s The Night Manager) makes a solid fist of his big-screen debut as writer/director, generating some small-scale chills which are undiminished by the occasionally creaky dialogue. Cinematographer Ed Rutherford, who did such brilliant work for Joanna Hogg on Archipelago and Exhibition, uses woozy camera moves to capture...

Highly respected producer worked on Joanna Hogg’s Archipelago and Sally El Hosaini’s My Brother the Devil.
British producer Gayle Griffiths has died following a battle with cancer. She was 49.
Griffiths, who died on Friday (Oct 23) in London, was perhaps best known for producing Joanna Hogg films Archipelago (2010) and Exhibition (2013), which both starred Tom Hiddleston, as well as urban drama My Brother The Devil (2012).
Sally El Hosani, director of My Brother The Devil, wrote on Facebook: “I can honestly say that the film wouldn’t have been what it was without her input and wisdom. She had real vision and believed in the film when many others in the industry didn’t. She was a fighter with a truly generous heart and empathy for the underdog.
“She was never one to make a fuss about her health and all through the filming of My Brother The Devil nobody would have guessed she was also having cancer...

Joanna Hogg dedicated her award to the late Chris Collins.
The 24th annual Women in Film and TV Awards, held at the Park Lane Hilton in London yesterday, honoured Vanessa Redgrave with its Lifetime Achievement Award, sponsored by Eon Productions. She is pictured with David Hare, who presented her trophy. “Thank you beyond words,” Redgrave said. “Good luck to everybody who is trying to do good work in film and TV wherever they may be.”
Rosamund Pike was honoured with the Mac Best Performance Award for her role in Gone Girl. The heavily pregnant actress accepted with a charming video message that praised novelist Gillian Flynn and director David Fincher for taking a risk by casting her as Amy. She joked that she could give birth while the lunch was going on, and quipped that “it takes less time to make a human being than it does to make a film.”

Liam Gillick in New York on Exhibition: "The problem is essentially a crisis in representation. These people in the film thought they were beyond difference." Photo: Anne-Katrin Titze
A married couple live in a fantastic house in London designed by late architect James Melvin. Their relationship to each other and to the building, their work as artists and how it relates to their bodies are exposed by Joanna Hogg in Exhibition.
Liam Gillick and I continue our conversation with an examination of a crisis in representation, the influence of Julia Kristeva and Luce Irigaray, and how Valie Export and early Marina Abramovic informed Viv Albertine's portrait of the artist D. Ed Rutherford's cinematography, Liam's future in acting and the meaning of bare feet are also explored.

Liam Gillick talked parallel lives, what cinema means to contemporary artists, and how it felt to become material.

Check out Toni D'Angela's editor's note, "The 'Film' of the Visible". From Interview Magazine, Harmony Korine talks to Kenneth Anger!! Interesting takes on Michael Bay's Transformers: Age of Extinction are few and far between (hopefully our forthcoming piece on the film will suffice...), but Richard Brody has two measured, insightful articles: one on the film itself, and one on its cultural impact.

Exhibition
Written & Directed by Joanna Hogg
UK, 2013
Exhibition is a collection of moments that add up to something if the viewer is prepared to do the math. Plots, character arcs and narrative considerations are nowhere to be found in this art house offering from writer-director, Joanna Hogg. It’s an immersive visual experience, but its objectives remain tantalizingly out of reach. Challenging and uncompromising, this film is not for everyone. For cinephiles who enjoy the heavy lifting, however, there’s just enough weight to warrant the workout.
At its heart, Exhibition is a love triangle between two married artists and their modernist house. The husband, H (Liam Gillick), knows that it’s time to leave, but his wife, D (Viviane Albertine), is reluctant to accept the truth. We spend most of our time with D, quietly peering over her tightened shoulders. She’s a struggling performance artist who mixes sexuality...

Exhibition (2013), the latest film from British auteur Joanna Hogg, is a mysterious work that poses provocative questions about how we relate to the people and spaces around us. While most of the industry is mired in what director Mike Figgis once called "kitsch 'n' sink", Hogg is making original, formally adventurous works that burrows deep into the English metropolitan psyche. The trajectory of the characters in Exhibition is elusive; we may be witnessing disintegration, stasis or progression. Hogg's brilliance lies in the way she muddies the lines between these states, and how the amorphous outside forces of London can prompts a form or modern urban anxiety that bears down on our relationships. CineVue's Craig Williams recently spoke with her about her brave new work.

Somewhere in England’s capital, a pair of married, middle-aged artists spend their days seeking creative inspiration inside their modernist home, a vertical palace of cold minimalism in which D (Viv Albertine) and her husband H (Liam Gillick) communicate largely via interhouse telecom. Though she appears bored, he’s too blind in his artistic and domestic contentment to notice, too concerned with his own work to see that his marriage has reached a stalemate. She finds more satisfaction in onanism, which she keeps secret from her pretentious, passively domineering husband, who removes the clothes from his wife during their alone time, as she dutifully lays on their bed, primed for a joyless fuck.
The idea that a setting is its own “character” is bandied around all too often, but in Exhibition the setting is as integral as the script – the house’s unique spiral staircases and sliding doors couldn’t be removed from the story,...

Walking to the castle in Unrelated: "Anna wears that looks like a maternity dress. It belonged to Kathryn Worth's mother."
In part 2 of our conversation Joanna Hogg and I discuss the influence of Roberto Rossellini's Stromboli on Archipelago, how Edith Head would not have come upon Tom Hiddleston and Kathryn Worth's capes in Unrelated, the many roles Viv Albertine and Liam Gillick have in Exhibition, A Nos Amours starting with Chantal Akerman, Catherine Deneuve in Jacques Demy's Donkey Skin, and games people play.
Anne-Katrin Titze: Unrelated, Archipelago, Exhibition, each have totally distinct concepts about costumes.
Joanna Hogg: It's so much about the different stories. With Unrelated, there is a dress that Anna wears that looks like a maternity dress. It belonged to Kathryn Worth's mother. Stéphane [Collonge] and myself were looking at what Kathryn has of her own clothes that might fit into the story.

With her new film Exhibition beginning a two-week exclusive engagement at the Film Society of Lincoln Center today, along with her two previous films Unrelated and Archipelago getting theatrical runs concurrently, British filmmaker Joanna Hogg is in town and I was lucky enough to catch up with her for a chat. I saw Exhibition at last year's New York Film Festival and was blown away by it, so I was eager to pick her brains about her Antonioni-esque use of the environment in her family/relationship dramas. Unguarded and sincere, she opened up to all the questions and explained away lengthily much more so than many other directors I've talked with over the years. For this, I thank you Ms. Hogg.An exclusive theatrical run of Exhibition starts 6/20...
