What is Between Art and Life?

It’s an occasional newsletter featuring essays of various lengths on pop culture, as well as interviews with everyone from notable artists to my own friends.

Why is it called that?

Oh, sure, that makes sense—the title of this newsletter comes from a favorite quote of mine:

“The cinema is not an art which films life: the cinema is something between art and life. Unlike painting and literature, the cinema both gives to life and takes from it.”

- Jean-Luc Godard

OK, but who are you?

Good call, I should have mentioned that earlier: I’m freelance writer, as well as a member of the Boston Society of Film Critics, and the author of the Columbia University Press book The Cinema of Paul Thomas Anderson: American Apocrypha. If you need to know more than that, I guess you could visit my website if you want to, but don’t consider it compulsory.

How much does it cost?

Another great question! Nothing.
