Further Breaking Down the Sight and Sound Numbers by Gender
One reader Miran Terzic did some serious work breaking down gender votes in the Sight and Sound Top 50 film poll. If the 197 (I had 196) voted three women would make the top 50, not just one. The ones that would make it would be: Jeanne Dielman, 23 quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles direct...

Claire Denis And Isabelle Huppert Talk Inspiration And Structure Of 'White Material'
If there ever were a body of work that not only begged but necessitated repeated viewings, it would be the oeuvre of Claire Denis.
