One Shot is a series that seeks to find an essence of cinema history in one single image of a movie. Albert Serra's The Death of Louis Xiv, starring Jean-Pierre Léaud, is showing on Mubi in the US starting May 28, 2021 in the series Performers We Love. Given the size and variety of Jean-Pierre Léaud’s filmography, there must be other memorable death scenes of his apart from those in Jean-Luc Godard’s Made in U.S.A. (1966) and Albert Serra’s La mort de Louis Xiv (2016), half a century apart. My reason for settling on these two is that they demonstrate his prodigious range. In the first—a very bizarre piece of anamorphic Pop Art self-described as “a political film, meaning Walt Disney plus blood”—he plays “Donald Siegel,” the abused sidekick of gangster “Richard Widmark” (Laszlo Szabo), comically sporting a button that declares “Kiss me I’m Italian.” He’s...

Hubbard lends his idiosyncratic singing style to a story about a tough woman who’s down with bikers and goes heavy on the black mascara. “Her favorite guitar player is Steve Cropper/Says her godfather was Dennis Hopper,” Hubbard sings, performing alone in a home studio space. McBryde beams in from her...

Trying to define alt-country is a foolhardy pursuit, but that didn’t stop Mojo Nixon from leading a panel discussion into the genre while aboard the fifth annual Outlaw Country Cruise.
Titled “Alt.Country: Whatever That Is,” the Outlaw Country host and subject of the upcoming documentary The Mojo Manifesto assembled Jon Langford of the Mekons and the Waco Brothers, acerbic singer-songwriter Robbie Fulks, the Bottle Rockets’ Brian Henneman, and producer-musician Eric “Roscoe” Ambel to dive into those muddy waters. In the end, the group didn’t decide much of anything,...
