Museum Hours (Jem Cohen, 2012)
Cast: Mary Margaret O’Hara, Bobby Sommer, Ela Piplits. Screenplay: Jem Cohen, Natalie Lettner, Mary Margaret O’Hara, Bobby Sommer. Cinematography: Jem Cohen, Peter Roehsler. Film editing: Jem Cohen, Marc Vives.
You may have to love museums and their gawping crowds, bored schoolkids, droning docents, and silent guards as much as I do to truly appreciate Museum Hours. There's no real story, just the encounter of a middle aged woman stuck in Vienna with a sick relative and a guard at the Kunsthistorisches Museum willing to help her find her way in a city she doesn't know. Jem Cohen's camera treats them like the works of art on the museum's walls, gazing into their lives to unravel what secrets they may be hiding. In the end, the people and the pictures retain their deepest mysteries but in subtle ways change the way we see things. Like Brueghel, the painter who gets the most attention in the film, Cohen is fascinated by the ordinary and everyday, from the peasants in the paintings to the museum visitors in the movie, and they find a kind of beauty even in the detritus of life, from bits of rubbish in the paintings to beer cans and cigarette butts in the Vienna streets. Cohen is not above departing from realism, even to the point of staging a scene in which the museumgoers are as nude as the people in some of the art they're there to see.

Rūrangi Season 2 is out!
Out. Haha. See what I did there?
I enjoyed it a lot, even though I was dubious about some of the recasting, I was brought around. My main problem is that while Season 1 felt like a complete story (hence them being able to re-edit it into a movie) - albeit one with character arcs open to exploration - Season 2 is really only the first half of several stories.
There had BETTER be a Season 3, is what I'm saying.
More thoughts, with spoilers, under the cut.
My biggest worry was the recasting of Jem. Arlo Green was just ADORABLE in the role, and I didn't know if anyone else could exude that kind of sweet earnestness. Liam Coleman does a pretty good job! I think that he's sometimes anxious rather than sweet, but Jem's social anxiety is explored this season anyway, and I loved seeing Jem awkwardly flirting with Caz, and I also loved that we got the 'ride or die, we've been friends forever' vibe.
We also had Gerald recast, with Kirk Torrence leaving in favour of Cohen Holloway. Holloway is the "Werewolves, not swearwolves" guy from the WWDITS movie, but once you get past this I thought he was okay. He seems about 10-15 years younger than Torrence, and some of his lines I could imagine coming better from the original, but he DID manage to give us the dad (and DILF) energy the role needs.
I enjoyed Anahera's arc, which moved on beautifully from her Season 1 arc. I especially loved how it went from her reciting her pepeha to actually going out and putting her hands in the awa (river). Also her cousin is Anika Moa. Love it. Less love for the suggestion of an interesting supernatual ancestor-connection storyline which didn't have enough time to get off the ground this season.
Poor Caz! I'm so glad he's finally opening up about Andy Ainofo, but he's got SO much processing that he hasn't been able to do, and I really want him to get through it so he can be the awesome devoted boyfriend Jem deserves. I thought there was such an interesting contrast in the way he was immediately all-in on supporting the queer youth of Rūrangi, and didn't quite see that Jem was actually at the same stage of coming out and exploring his identity and probably needed that same support.
I absolutely cheered at the end of episode two when Jem and Caz made out! I felt bad for Jem - he was having some body issues in comparison to Caz, and THEN finds out he's competing with the memory of an actual pro athlete? Poor guy :-( I can also see how from Caz's POV this is something they've done before, Jem is safe and familiar; whereas for Jem it is kind of all new for him.
So as far as I can see, these are the plot threads left CRUELLING DANGLING:
Gerald's heritage - he seems to have been adopted as a baby by a Pākehā family, and is very wary or uncertain about what his Māori heritage means for him and how to interact with the local iwi
Caz's trauma - he needs to process A LOT, for someone good at being emotionally astute and supportive with The Youths, he has some blind spots (like taking Jem for granted)
Jem's confidence, and his relationship with Caz <3
The phosphate ballot (and Gerald's bees)
The housing development
Whatever Anahera's grandmother did, and her connection to her tipuna who she resembles so closely
Anahera and Ellie's flirtation
The little baby queers, including the homophobic mayor's kid
Whatever the supernatural fuck is going on in Rūrangi
Me figuring out where exactly this was filmed
Did I miss anything?

Gibby Haynes sings for the Butthole Surfers, Danceteria, New York City, Feb. 7, 1986, photographer unknown.
This show, infamously also documented in a film by Jem Cohen, featured the impromptu debut of naked dancer Kathleen Lynch, plus depending on who you talk to, real or simulated anal sex onstage. Eeep! Shimmy Disc label photographer Michael Macioce remembers that when a fire started onstage, he was asking himself," 'Should I get out of here?' That was the type of feeling you had--you were in danger at one of their shows." (quote from Michael Azerrad's Our Band Could Be Your Life.)
