For 11 years running, our end-of-the-year tradition on the Notebook has been to poll our roster of contributors to create fantasy double features of new and old films. But what about the curators behind Mubi itself?

On the last day in April, after having returned from Indiana where he spoke at the 1968 in Europe and Latin America conference (held at the University of Notre Dame), Volker Schlöndorff met with me at Lincoln Center for a follow-up conversation on the topic. His 1966 film Young Törless, starring Mathieu Carrière, was also screened.
Earlier that morning he was up at Columbia discussing Antigone and May '68 in a class taught by his Return To Montauk co-screenwriter Colm Tóibín. The director of the Oscar-winning Tin Drum on the 50th anniversary year of the student protests shared his memories on the legacy of '68 and the eternal return of Claude Lévi-Strauss.

Awarded the Special Jury Prize at the 41st Venice International Film Festival, the film, along with most of the Georgian filmmaker’s titles, have long been unavailable to U.S. audiences, a shame considering his prolific stature and important body of work that subversively undermines frameworks within the dominant culture he’s navigating as an exiled dissident.
Taking its title from Shakespeare’s Henry IV describing thieves, “Diana’s foresters, gentlemen of the shade, favorites of the moon,” Iosseliani expounds on the same motif, casting all of humanity in the shade of the moon, a symbol of disorder, chaos and unrest.
