If the news of a Rashomon remake is making you sick and uninspired take a lesson from Paul Schrader. I found this film theory lesson of him decoding the Robert Bresson film Pickpocket. It’s worth checking out if not just for a jolt to the system and to see the way Schrader “reads” the film. [Parts 1 and 2]

While some sites are dicking around with reviews of Kung Fu Panda [I kid, I kid] there’s an avalanche of good stuff on the interweb today:

  • A massive film resource database is here for all to enjoy. The Moving Image Source. Well…enjoy! [via The Reeler.]
  • Writer/director/one of the reasons I pray to the film gods Paul Schrader and cinematographer extraordinaire Ed Lachman speak at BAM. [Video clips.]
  • More Schrader. Notes from Kevin B. Lee on the underappreciated Light Sleeper.
  • Steven Boone crashes Antoine Fuqua’s Brooklyn block party.
  • How dare you disrespect Abel Ferrara!!!
