What’s Streaming
YOURSELF AND YOURS (2020) Watch on virtual cinemas. Alcohol and love infuse “Yourself and Yours,” a new movie from the South Korean filmmaker Hong Sang-soo. It kicks off with a breakup: Young-soo (Kim Ju-hyuk) tells Min-jung (Lee Yoo-young), his girlfriend, to quit drinking. She quits him instead. The plot that follows involves mystery and despondency. “Hong’s formal confidence yields a movie that’s very simply constructed and utterly engrossing,” Glenn Kenny wrote in his review for The New York Times. He named the film a Critic’s Pick. “There are a lot of scenes done in a single shot, usually static, but when there’s a zoom (his preferred camera flourish), it’s unfussy and direct,” Kenny wrote. “He puts you in tune with the world of his sad-sack characters immediately, and their rhythm becomes the rhythm of the story.” The film was released overseas in 2016, but is just now having its stateside debut; it’s available this weekend from many virtual cinemas, including Film at Lincoln Center’s.
GINA BRILLON: THE FLOOR IS LAVA Stream on Amazon. In more normal times, the comedian Gina Brillon regularly performs live stand-up around New York. This streaming special may be the next best thing. Recorded at El Museo del Barrio in Manhattan, the show finds Brillon touching on her childhood in the Bronx, the scent of New York and her attempts at veganism. “I’m trying to be vegan now,” she says. “I’m succeeding. On Instagram.”
DEAR… Stream on Apple TV Plus. Each episode of this uplifting documentary series profiles a different cultural figure. Its subjects include Lin-Manuel Miranda, Spike Lee, Oprah Winfrey, Stevie Wonder, Misty Copeland, Gloria Steinem and … Big Bird, in a surreal episode that casts that Sesame Street character as a talking head in his own life story.
CIRCUMSTANTIAL PLEASURES (2020) Stream on Wexarts.org. The latest work from the cinematic collagist Lewis Klahr, “Circumstantial Pleasures” is made up of six short movies that combine footage of found images and objects with original music to create abstract political commentary. Klahr’s work is typically shown in museums, galleries and other public spaces. When it is instead streamed through a TV, Manohla Dargis wrote in a recent review for The Times, “the intimacy of the artist’s touch is foregrounded, as is the intentionally dog-eared quality of much of his source material.” The experience, she added, “is closer to peering at a collage hanging in a gallery than watching a cinematic spectacle.” The Wexner Center for the Arts in Columbus, Ohio, has made the film available to stream online for free. On Friday night, it will host Klahr for a virtual Q. and A.
