A tense comedy / tragedy about a guy who shaves his trademark mustache and no one remembers it was ever even there. Are folks fucking with him or is he losing his mind? A brilliant performance from Vincent Lindon. Genius.

A niche French film directed by Patrice Leconte.
Antoine, the main character obsessed with hairdressers since childhood, marries Mathilde, living a passionate yet melancholic romance.
The movie is known for its poetic and sensual cinematography.

i saw this on a whim at BAM in september & was delighted by it’s combination of noir/french new wave/comedy . it’s truffaut so i don’t know how niche it is but i was taken aback but just how funny & sincere & sad it all was combined with the slightly surrealistic qualities of the script & line deliveries . a zippy 81 minutes of tragicomic misadventure & set in winter so perfect for the season !

Popular where I’m from in Mississippi. In high school, every weekend my friends and I would listen to Dave Matthews and not drink alcohol. We’d drive to Bonsai, a Japanese steakhouse where they cook in front of you at your table.I don’t know why but going the fuck in on fried rice and teppanyanki chicken just hits kinda harder in the South.

Mysterious band and one of my favs ever. “God Has Lips: Collected Recordings Vol.1” is the new album, their first release since 2010. This is that real shit I would like to listen to in a locker room before a game drinking blue gatorade dipping Skoal mint longcut kicking over garbage cans.

I initially did not dare to self-promote in this fine newsletter. Then I considered that maybe I’m just a lil bald lil bitchboy if I don’t mention the film which I spent years making. In Dogleg, I play an amateur director who loses his girlfriend’s dog at a gender reveal party on the morning of a big shoot. We just wrapped a string of premieres in L.A. and NYC and this summer the film will act like a band and go on a world tour. 🌎🗺️ Peter Jackson (LOTR) said in Esquire: “I’m still thinking about it a week later. It’s the best film I’ve seen in 2023.” Playing in your city soon.
