PachamamaBeginning Saturday, the Film Society of Lincoln Center is bringing to American shores the work of one of Germany’s finest filmmakers, Peter Nestler. Arranged in nine-parts, the extensive series is a major effort to make Nestler’s work better-known in the United States, where it has rarely shown. Nestler is a singular filmmaker, one for whom I have great affection, but also one who came to making films in a time and place singular in and of itself. The movies Germany produced for roughly the fifteen years after the reformation of the country after World War II is a period often misunderstood by cinephiles and, at least until recently, underrepresented in retrospective programming outside of the country itself. In the 1950s and 1960s, German leftists were outraged by the continuing presence of Nazis in the government of the young Federal Republic, and by the way that polite society did...

Donald Trump may not be appointing a woman as his running mate after all. Iowa Sen. Joni Ernst, the lone woman on the rumored shortlist of Trump's potential vice presidents, essentially excused herself from the running Wednesday, just a few days after a "great" meeting with the Republican presidential nominee. "I made that very clear to him that I'm focused on Iowa," Ernst, 46, told Politico. "I feel that I have a lot more to do in the United States Senate. And Iowa is where my heart is." The first-term senator continued: "I'm just getting started here. I have a great partner with Chuck Grassley,...

Is Sen. Dan Sullivan in the running for Donald Trump's second in command? You betcha! The junior senator, whose name is the latest to bubble up among People's Gop sources monitoring the Trump 'veepstakes,' isn't a "mama grizzly" or a hockey mom, but he just might be the latest representative of Alaska to enter the presidential race, following fellow Alaskan Sarah Palin. As the veepstakes continue - Iowa Sen. Joni Ernst has met with Trump, as well as Indiana Gov. Mike Pence, and Arkansas Sen. Tom Cotton got some online praise from the presumptive nominee - here's everything...

As recently as eight weeks ago, the most stable relationship on American Crime was the chummy dynamic between Headmaster Leslie Graham and Coach Dan Sullivan.
But in our exclusive sneak peek at Wednesday’s season finale (ABC, 10/9c), that camaraderie between colleagues is nowhere to be found.
In the scene embedded above, Timothy Hutton’s basketball coach pays Leslie a visit at Leyland, begging for some help with his daughter’s recent legal ordeal — but he quickly realizes that cashing in favors with the administration isn’t as easy as it once was.

Mubi has partnered with New York's Film Society of Lincoln center to bring online audiences part of their February series, "Friends with Benefits: An Anthology of Four New American Filmmakers," programmed by Dennis Lim and Dan Sullivan. In less than a decade of activity, the four friends and polymorphously promiscuous collaborators Gabriel Abrantes, Alexander Carver, Benjamin Crotty, and Daniel Schmidt have made some of the most ravishing and least classifiable films in recent memory—and established themselves as a school of filmmaking unlike any other. These uncompromising young visionaries share a penchant for provocation, a taste for transgression, and a host of strategies and obsessions all their own. At once lyrical and perverse, by turns hilarious and delirious, their films obliterate distinctions—between high- and low-brow, between sensual and cerebral, between art cinema and the avant-garde—while remaining sharply attuned to the byproducts of globalization and the fluctuations of post-internet pop culture.

On episode 4 of American Crime, Eric's dad goes to Terri and Michael for help but gets rebuffed, Taylor returns to public school, Kevin makes a statement to the police and evidence surfaces that calls Taylor's allegations into question.
Leslie Graham has been busy playing offense regarding the alleged assault against Taylor, but now that the case is being investigated as a rape, she's got to change her tact. She sits down with Dan Sullivan and confronts him with the facts and informs him that either his whole team is deceiving him, or one person is deceiving the team.

Four episodes were provided prior to broadcast.
T/W: series discusses rape at length, fourth episode depicts a suicide attempt.
The excellent first season of ABC’s American Crime explored the murder of a war veteran and, in the process, conducted a deeply thoughtful and fruitful probe into questions of class, race, guilt and national identity. With its astute writing and cinematic direction, not to mention a cadre of Emmy-caliber performances, the series – from 12 Years a Slave writer John Ridley – unfolded as a saga in miniature, deftly weaving weighty issues into a compelling crime narrative. Simply put, it was breathtaking.
For his second act, Ridley hasn’t altered American Crime‘s thematic course so much as expanded it. Racial tensions still simmer beneath the streets of his new Indianapolis setting. And class disparity drives the plot, especially when it focuses on the uneasy relations between officials at a prestigious private school and external community members,...

"Season Two: Episode One" -- Issues of sexual orientation and socioeconomic disparity come to a roil when lurid photos of a high school boy, Taylor Blaine, are posted on social media following a school party: After the shocking photos of Taylor are posted, circumstances become more complicated when he accuses two players on an elite private high school's championship basketball team -- Kevin Lacroix and Eric Tanner -- of drugging, assaulting and then posting the pictures of him online. The team's head coach, Dan Sullivan, tries to unite the players while overlooking the dysfunction of his own family. Headmistress Leslie Graham struggles to maintain the school's reputation in the face of these accusations of privilege and cover up. Taylor's mother, Anne, remains a steadfast supporter of her son despite being publicly assailed by the school's wealthy families.
