Barkley L. Hendricks

Mr. Cool

Trevor Schoonmaker, of the Nasher Museum at Duke University, organized Birth of the Cool, a retrospective of Barkley L. Henricks’s paintings. The exhibition will travel to the Studio Museum in Harlem. I got a chance to check out the catalogue, at The Project, where Hendricks is having show, Thank you, Mr. John.

Here are some pics of Thank you, Mr. John:

So after we saw “la Science des Reves“, the director’s commentary and the extra stuff on the dvd, we made favorable remarks about the actors and the director. It was pleasant to see Gael GarcĂ­a Bernal, since Amores Perros and Charlotte Gainsbourg, whom I have never seen act but enjoyed her music.
Michel Gondry was especially funny and endearing. Revisit the extra footages on the dvd, it’s worth it.

His upcoming movie is called “Be Kind Rewind“, with Jack Black, Mos Def, Danny Glover et al. The official trailer.

Here is Michel Gondry’s trailer.
