-These aren’t photos taken by a talented photographer you’ve never heard of; they’re film stills from Post Tenebras Lux, Carlos Reygadas’s new movie premiering at Cannes Film Festival next month. His last movie, Silent Light, is one of my favorites.
Cannes seems like it will be awesome this year, with new films by Jacques Audiard, Bernardo Bertolucci, David Cronenberg, Andrew Dominik, Matteo Garrone, Michael Haneke, John Hillcoat, Ken Loach, Cristian Mungiu, Alain Resnais, Walter Salles, and others - very exciting! All of these guys were on (or came very close to being on) my list of favorite movies of the last decade, which needs revising but can be found here.(Stills found here.)

From Will Happiness Find Me?, an artist’s book by Peter Fischli & David Weiss.
“StudioFilmClub is a weekly film club hosted by artists Peter Doig and Che Lovelace in Trinidad. It was launched in February 2003 in Doig’s studio at the Caribbean Contemporary Arts (CCA7) centre in Laventille, near Port of Spain. StudioFilmClub screens Caribbean, foreign language, and independent films, usually on Thursday evenings. Its casual, no-frills atmosphere attracts an eclectic audience of artists, writers, and other movie fans.
Doig paints original posters for most of the weekly screenings; an exhibition of 75 of these was held at the Museum Ludwig in Cologne, Germany, and the Zurich Kunsthalle in Switzerland in 2005.”
