Amy Taubin on Anita Thacher’s Anteroom (1982)

WORLDS COLLIDE in Anita Thacher’s radiant Anteroom. The 1982 installation has been exactingly re-created at Microscope Gallery, using all but obsolete analog technology, specifically two slide projectors synced by a Tascam that uses audio tape to queue the slides changes. I’m beginning with the tech…

Amy Taubin on Leos Carax’s Annette (2021)

LEOS CARAX’S ANNETTE IS A MONSTER, a misery, an astoundingly raw movie/musical theater hybrid.

Amy Taubin on the New York and Toronto film festivals

EVEN WITH the New York Film Festival kicking off tonight with Joel Coen’s The Tragedy of Macbeth, I thought I had had enough of festivals, at least until 2022.

We sit on metal chairs and watch the waves of blackness. This is how the world ends—for me, and maybe for you.Arthur Jafa’s AGHDRA, an eighty-five-minu…

Amy Taubin on the 2022 Tribeca Film Festival

FOR TWO DECADES, the Tribeca Film Festival has preserved more than a trace of its improvisational origins. Conceived in 2002 as a response to flagging creative energy and property values in zip codes 10007 and 10013 in the aftermath of 9/11, the festival projected an image of New York as a filmmakin…
