Close-Up is a feature that spotlights films now playing on Mubi. Anders Edström and C.W. Winters's The Works and Days (of Tayoko Shiojiri in the Shiotani Basin) is exclusively showing on Mubi in the U.S. starting December 5, 2021 in the series Mubi Spotlight.“Thanks to Hesiod for providing the title, Works and Days, and to my sister Rosemary for pointing it out to me.” —Bernadette Mayer in her author’s note for Works & Days (2016) The Works and Days (of Tayoko Shiojiri in the Shiotani Basin) is an eight-hour film that takes us through five seasons of a farmer’s life in a Japanese village so small it doesn’t seem to have a proper name. Anders Edström and C.W. Winters’ second collaborative film is arranged in four parts with three intermissions. The first three sections are each prefaced with a Japanese death poem followed by ten minute intervals...

“It’s sad to get old in any period.” Tayoko (Tayoko Shiojiri) has just watched Yasujirō Ozu’s Tokyo Story on television and it’s struck a nerve of melancholy. The Japanese master’s great films tend to do this to viewers, especially those who find themselves in the midst of painful transition. Her husband Junji (Kaoru Iwahana) has become increasingly ill over the last few months, and the slow passage of time has suddenly taken a different meaning for the woman who spends so many hours outside in the fields cultivating crops.
This observation about aging comes in one of many journal entries that comprise the spine of The Works and Days (of Tayoko Shiojiri in the Shiotani Basin), an experimental study in duration and devotion that intricately overlaps voiceover and ambient sound design to create a symphonic cinematic space in the quietest of locations. If the incessant trilling of insects,...

After offering up our picks for the best films of the first half of the year, we enter the second half with a strong release slate. Arriving this July is a stellar set of documentaries, a few promising wide releases, new films from some of the century’s most prolific directors, and much more. Check out my picks below.
15. Eyimofe (This Is My Desire) (Arie and Chuko Esiri)
Before an eventual Criterion release, Janus Films will bow the debut feature by Nigerian-raised, New York-educated twins Arie and Chuko Esiri, which recently played at Berlinale, New Directors/New Films, and more. David Katz said in his review, “Fatih Akin’s The Edge of Heaven and Wong Kar Wai’s Chungking Express have been directly cited by the filmmakers as inspirations for Eyimofe, and I would also mention Amores Perros for its interleaving structure and top-to-bottom dissection of a megalopolis, teeming with...

Continuing their tradition (assuming La Flor and Dead Souls comprise a tradition) of epic-length arthouse fare, Grasshopper Film will release next month The Works and Days (of Tayoko Shiojiri in the Shiotani Basin), an eight-hour Japanese-Swedish feature from C.W. Winter and Anders Edström. By most accounts (including a top prize at last year’s Berlinale) the picture earns its 480 minutes, having pulled raves from Cinema Scope and Film Comment—the latter claiming it “speaks to the power, beauty, and necessity of the theatrical experience.”
That theatrical experience begins July 16 at Film at Lincoln Center as part of their NYFF58 Redux series, ahead of which comes a sparse, intriguing trailer of remarkable still photographs. Whatever that does (or doesn’t) convey about this eight-hour experience, consider us deeply in its thrall already.

The 15th Navarre International Documentary Film Festival drew to a close on Saturday with the triumph of the movie co-directed by Anders Edström and CW Winter. On Saturday, the winners of the 2021 Punto de Vista – Navarre International Documentary Film Festival were unveiled, after the gathering unspooled in Pamplona from 15-20 March. The festival’s Grand Prize for Best Film went to a co-production involving the USA, Sweden, Hong Kong, Japan and the UK, The Works and Days (of Tayoko Shiojiri in the Shiotani Basin), directed by CW Winter and Anders Edström. The jury – comprising Nicole Brenez, James Lattimer and Antoine Thirion – called it “a spectacular but at the same time unassuming film. Visiting means seeing, and seeing on a regular basis. At the core of this feature is a distraught woman who is visited by many memories. There is a house, visited by...
Whether a viewer in 1896 or 2020, cinema has always been a dynamic and variable experience. Cinema as an event—as a manifestation of a meeting point between the art of moving images and an audience, big or small—has never fit any one definition, and this last year, so severely disrupted by a global pandemic, has deeply underscored the versatility and resilience of our great love.Our viewing this year, like that of so many, has been strange: compromised, confrontational, escapist, euphoric, painful, revelatory—encompassing all of the reactions one can have to film. How we encountered our favorite movies and most meaningful cinematic experiences of the year was hardly new: A by-now-normal mix of festivals, theatres, various subscription and transactional streaming services, as well as private screener links and gems buried on over-stuffed hard drives. But for most of the year, the communal experience shrunk to living rooms and glowing screens.

2020 will go down in history for many things. The pandemic. The US elections. Rat-filled sinkholes. But 2020 will also go down in history as the year of Asian cinema: when Bong Joon-ho’s “Parasite” (2019) became the first non-English language film to win the coveted Academy Award for Best Picture; when Ann Hui was recognized with the Golden Lion for Lifetime Achievement Award at Venice Film Festival; when Mohammad Rasoulof’s Iranian drama “There Is No Evil” (2020) won Berlinale’s Golden Bear. And this is not even to mention the stellar achievements we’ve had at Asian Movie Pulse as well – including a new partnership with Mubi, a curated arthouse streaming service, and 1000 followers on Instagram. Now, we just want to take a step back to reflect on this year.

Leading documentary festival Idfa has added 47 films to its program, which run as part of its Masters, Paradocs and Best of Fests sections.
In the Masters section, Idfa has selected 18 titles from today’s auteurs of documentary cinema. In “Irradiated,” winner of the Berlinale Documentary Award, Rithy Panh “contemplates the image of human suffering throughout history in a revolutionary film that approaches cinematic installation,” according to a statement from the festival.
In “Gunda,” Victor Kossakovsky “intimately examines our relationship with animals as he invites audiences to fall in love with the titular character, a wonderful mother pig.” “Paris Caligrammes” sees Ulrike Ottinger “curate a rich archival history of 1960s Paris,” in which the director features alongside the great artists, thinkers and revolutionaries of the day.
Dieudo Hamadi’s “Downstream to Kinshasa” pays tribute to the survivors of the Six-Day War in Hamadi’s native Congo, “finding poetry in stories of human resilience.

Update, writethru: The 70th Berlin Film Festival, and the first under new leadership team Mariette Rissenbeek and Carlo Chatrian, drew to a close this evening with the Golden Bear awarded to Mohammad Rasoulof’s There Is No Evil. Rasoulof is currently banned from leaving Iran for participation in social and political activity. This is the second time in five years that Berlin’s top prize has gone to an Iranian filmmaker unable to travel outside their home country — the last time was in 2015 when Jafar Panahi scooped the honor for Taxi.
Along with Panahi and Asghar Farhadi, Rasoulof, whose credits also include Manuscripts Don’t Burn, is among the best-known Iranian filmmakers on the international stage. His last picture, A Man Of Integrity, won Cannes’ Un Certain Regard prize in 2017, but his passport was confiscated that same year.

Mohammad Rasoulof’s There Is No Evil has become the latest film from Iran to win the Berlinale’s top honour, the Golden Bear, following Asghar Farhadi’s A Separation in 2012 and Jafar Panahi’s Taxi Tehran in 2015.
Rasoulof was not able to attend this year’s festival because he is banned from leaving Iran following his arrest last year. The film’s producers Farzad Pak and Kaveh Farnam, and the director’s daughter Baran Rasoulof (an actress who lives in Hamburg) collected the award on his...

The 2020 Berlin Film Festival, which kicked off on February 20, handed out its top prizes today as the fest comes to a close in Germany. The night’s top winner, Iranian filmmaker Mohammad Rasoulof for “There Is No Evil,” could not attend the ceremony due to an Iran-sanctioned travel ban and possible prison sentence for his politically charged film (read IndieWire’s review here). See all this year’s winners below.
As is befitting for a festival season marked by tension, activists were gathered outside the festivities in front of the Berlinale Palast, where the honors took place, demonstrating for climate change. The 70th edition of the Berlinale weathered its share of controversies this year, too, from jury president Jeremy Irons digging up past controversial remarks to the revelation that late festival chief Alfred Bauer had ties to the Nazi party.

Iranian filmmaker Mohammad Rasoulof’s “There Is No Evil,” a drama about the impact of capital punishment on society and the human condition, won the Golden Bear at this year’s Berlin Film Festival on Saturday.
The seven-person festival jury, headed by Jeremy Irons, spread the prizes far and wide, with no single filmmaker dominating the awards.
American writer-director Eliza Hittman won the Silver Bear Grand Jury Prize for “Never Rarely Sometimes Always,” a drama about teen pregnancy, while the Silver Bear for best director went to South Korea’s Hong Sang Soo for his Seoul-set drama “The Woman Who Ran.”
Rasoulof, who is unable to leave Iran due to a travel ban, faces a one-year prison sentence for “spreading propaganda.” The filmmaker released a statement on Friday expressing his sorrow at missing the premiere of “There Is No Evil”: “I am sorry that I will not be able...

Above: Swimming Out Till the Sea Turns BlueThis year is the 70th anniversary of the Berlin International Film Festival, and it celebrates with a change of guard: Out goes festival director Dieter Kosslick and in comes Executive Director Mariette Rissenbeek, presumably managing the business side of the massive event, and Artistic Director Carlo Chatrian, who most recently held the same title at the Locarno Film Festival, leading the curation. This hand-over of responsibility is not unique to Berlin; last year, Locarno’s programming team was new; this year sees new heads of Sundance, Sheffield, and New York film festivals; and next year Rotterdam is under new leadership. As film culture is shifting under the just cultural pressure of inclusion and diversity, major festivals around the world are in the process of shifting gears.What does that mean for the Berlinale?

We've got less than a month until top ten lists for 2010 are due. Which means we've got less than a month to catch up on all the films we missed. In an effort to make sure I don't overlook anything in my own personal movie cramming session, I posted this message to Twitter earlier this afternoon:
Finish this sentence: "The movie you need to see before making your 2010 best-of list is ____________."
The responses I got, from professional critics and amateur enthusiasts, created such an impressive list, that I thought it was worth sharing. Obviously there are holes, and the nature of my question to Twitter means massive hits like "Inception" didn't get mentioned. But this is a good place to start catching up, and I'm more than willing to make this a living document. If there are movies you think deserve to be added, send me a message on Twitter.

I’ve had a few lucky vacations that remind me of C.W. Winter and Anders Edström’s lovely new film, The Anchorage. They were on the chilly coast of Northern California, and the vacations weren't so much a change of activity as they were a change of location for my daily activities—day to day life remained much the same, but the backdrop and the context were different. Contentment was based simply on this change of situation, of being there, and filling that "there" with the minimal activities of daily upkeep, the refreshment of passing through the wooded area of beaches and cliffs, getting accustomed to the surroundings, and finding harmony in the feel, the palette, the smell and taste of the coast. The Anchorage—which is more location than setting (e.g. this spot in the forest looked at from here,...
