Flicker Alley and Nicolas Winding Refn have joined forces to bring the underseen gem, Spring Night, Summer Night, to glorious life on Blu-ray. Directed by J.L. Anderson, Spring Night, Summer Night could be summed up in this way: If Cassavetes directed an existential cinema verite hillbilly melodrama written by VC Andrews, it’d look and sound […]
Last night… in my sleep… I dreamed that I was sleeping. And dreaming in this sleep that I had awakened… I fell asleep. Susan. Noah. Two sides of the same woman. Full of life. Caught in a dream, longing for that safe place. That place which we are all familiar with, where our memories and […]

For me, watching a Henry Jaglom film is a lot like visiting a bunch of old friends and meeting new ones along the way. Over the years, I’ve become so attached to some of the characters that inhabit Jaglom’s world that they feel near to my heart. These people are wonderful and the films are […]
