Nathaniel – the “pseudo-grindhouse” stuff is kind of interesting. Rudolph prefers the first one, Premonition, which was his own project; but I think I like the commissioned Terror Circus more, even though it would be too kind to call the material hopeless. He seems heavily influenced by Altman at that point, and it’s surprising how much Altmanesque ambience he manages to impose on

Remember My name is very hard to find I've noticed. I adore most of Rudolph's work and that is the only one I have not seen (save the early pseudo-grindhouse stuff).

I miss his active presence in film production and wonder what is going on (all sources of funding dry out?). It's hard to imagine that he has no resources left as Secret Lives of Dentists was one of his best received films

Holy catfish, Batman! Had no idea that Alan Rudolph was Oscar Rudolph's son. Oscar R did the maybe best Batman episode ever (A Piece of the Action/Batman's Satisfaction), guest starring the Green Hornet.
This is a very informative article, with much to think about. The comments on Rudolph's camera movements are especially fascinating. Will be looking for Remember My Name, and other Rudolph

Ah, thanks for this. I've bookmarked it and will read it later tonight. There's a real scarcity of material on Rudolph's work, so I really can't wait...

(and please do scan the longer version when you can.)
