Editor’s Note

f anyone remembers last issue’s editor’s note from way back when, I did promise you more on Kelly Reichardt, and herein we deliver on that promise (ignore some of the other promises, please, I’m not in control of everything). It’s been quite a banner year for Reichardt, with her being awarded the Carrosse d’or from the Quinzaine des réalisateurs (sic), her “little film” premiering in competition is skipping TIFF to show up as a North American premiere at the New York Film Festival has no impact on the film’s presence in the magazine and on the cover. (Nor were there any bribes from A24, though if you guys want to advertise, I’ve got the space: just email and we can make magic happen.)
