I’m starting a new series called Femcel Fridays on my Substack, a biweekly program of femcel film criticism. First up: Attenberg (2010) dir. Athina Rachel Tsangari and Nausicaa (1970) dir. Agnés Varda, who I met in Paris when I was 20. Nausicaa was banned in France after one screening in 1970 for its depiction of Greek refugees. Click the link to read more. 💌

Attenberg is always a reference that lingers around me; I love that dance scene, among many others. It's a blend of strangeness and innocence, it's Greek cinema, art cinema.

HG: "Can we talk a bit more about those dance or walk sequences and their relationship to the film? They give an almost sort of a musical idea to the film, and yet, there's an interesting ambiguity of tone, I think, throughout the film. On one level, they are sort of seemingly comic and absurd; at the same time there's a deadly seriousness to the sort of precision and rigor, if you will, of these performances." ART: "Yeah. I mean, there was something very structured about this in our interludes, which acted as in my understanding of it, as the chorus of the film. Everything I do is very much drawn from the structure and this sort of strange conflict that there is in Greek tragedy where there is comedy and drama at the same time, and then the chorus comes to comment and illuminate and subvert everything that you see on stage basically—subverting all the characters. You know this is a trope in Greek tragedy that somehow has become sort of like a map for the way I build my scripts. And somehow I wanted them to express that they're freaks and they're outsiders and they don't belong. And, in a naturalist film, maybe I would have them talk about it. But since I was not interested at all in naturalism—or I didn't know how to do it—I just had them physically express that. And also, I'm really interested in the way a narrative is interrupted or it takes a pause and then it starts again. And we used to talk about Attenberg when we were rehearsing it as a musical without music. Because it's really built in terms of musical structure and with musical interludes, but more in terms of the diálogos. You know the way they deliver their lines. It was extremely rehearsed. The rhythm, the tempo, when they had to be slow, when they had to be fast, when they had to pause. Everything like was so controlled that they would be sometimes very pissed at me."

It was kinda funny today I was killing time before seeing Poor Things at the theater so I put on Attenberg on Kanopy cause it's been on my list for years and I wanted a comedy and tbh I had forgotten where it was from so when it started playing i was like huh guess im doing a Greek double feature... But then the real shock was that Yorgos Lanthimos himself showed up in the film ??!
#talks#yorgos lanthimos#attenberg#tbh i did t think he ever acted so i looked after and its the only credit so that makes it even odder lol#also attenbeeg was more deppressing than i expected

Celebrating Athina Rachel Tsangari!
"I don’t do psychoanalysis, I do cinema."
Read more on Criterion's Meet the Filmmakers: Athina Rachel Tsangari.

Chevalier (2015)
"I think one of the criticisms of the film is that it doesn’t explode, it doesn’t reach a point where you actually root for one of them, someone dies, there is big climax, or a big brawl between all of them. But I think we both felt that in a way, it’s much more bitter this way. No one is really a winner, there’s never a clear victory. There’s just the game that keeps perpetuating itself."
Read more in Film Comment's NYFF Interview: Athina Rachel Tsangari.

Attenberg (2010)
"Attenberg is an intriguing film, composed with real visual flair."
Read more in The Guardian's review.
