Reminder for NYCers: Go see SILENT LIGHT

A little over a month ago I wrote about MOMA screening Carlos Regadas’ SILENT LIGHT for a full week. I went and saw it again today and I remain convinced that it’s one of the best films of the past several years.

Thankfully I’m not alone in this view, and perhaps thanks to Manohla, the screening today was sold out. There are only two days left and may not be any other opportunities to see the film in the foreseeable future, so consider this a polite nudge: if you live in NYC, go see SILENT LIGHT.

“ In light of the recent crisis that is threatening the very bedrock of our nation, I would like to announce that I am suspending this humor piece to focus on the economy. […] I am calling on other writers, too, to temporarily set aside their work, whether fiction or nonfiction, humorous or serious, and join with me in attempting to design a plan that can deliver our country from the grips of this potentially devastating threat to the foundation of our economy. Thank you.

— Ben Greenman, The New Yorker

Presumably, the producers of The Bridge to Blowwhere* will provide the black-framed glasses, the bearskin rug, and the horny snowmobile repairman making the unexpected cabin-call.

[*Ed.note—Obviously needs work, but I didn’t want to go with anything drilling-related.]
