The Fast Runner (Atanarjuat), [an] epic account of an 11th-century Inuit blood feud, shot on digital video in northernmost Canada a hundred miles or more above the Arctic Circle, is spectacularly beautiful, not to mention mysterious, sensual, emotionally intense... Some three years in the making and nearly three hours long, [the film]...is totally absorbing from first image to last." --J. Hoberman,
Village Voice
I saw the film today and agree with Jim Hoberman's review--it's fantastic! I recommend seeing it at Landmark's Sunshine Cinema on Houston; it's a nice comfortable theater with stadium seating.
some very tasty dishes were served at Rose Water in Park Slope, fresh seasonal stuff!!....went for a 22 mile bike ride that had a weak meal at Lundy's in the middle but we could sit outdoors and watch our bikes, we wanted to eat at Clements 1612 Sheepshead Bay Rd but we had nowhere to park our bikes...

Frank Rich's New York Times column today contains this howler: "Instead of creating a new organizational chart, Mr. Bush might have enlisted one man to hose down our security bureaucracy: Rudolph Giuliani."
Yeah, the genius who built the city's $13 million "command bunker" on the 23rd floor of 7 World Trade Center! Equipped with fuel tanks that exploded and toppled the building! I want him in charge on a NATIONAL level!
