This month, formidable talent Daniel Day-Lewis takes his final bow in Paul Thomas Anderson’s Phantom Thread before retirement. He shines in the role of a 1950s, London-based fashion designer who starts a tumultuous employer-employee relationship with his fit model, played wonderfully by newcomer Vicky Krieps. December marks the 10th anniversary of Day-Lewis’s other Anderson collab, There Will Be Blood, and the 20th anniversary of The Boxer.

As a child in the ’50s, Joshua Greene was not eager to invite friends over in case Paul Newman or Steve McQueen was at his house—would his friends like him or want to rub elbows with his famous connections? This was the price of being the son of a famous photographer, Milton Greene. However, it did also come with some perks, such as having Sammy Davis Jr. as a godfather and Marilyn Monroe as a babysitter. Milton shot for publications such as Vogue, Harper’s Bazaar, and LIFE magazine and his list of subjects ran the Hollywood gamut: Judy Garland, Cary Grant, Liz Taylor, and more.

thoughts on epic sci-fi Strange Days

STRANGE DAYS (1995). 

Carroll Dunham, the artist, and his daughter, writer/actress/director Lena Dunham, took over the Metrograph in New York City last night to promote Carroll’s new book Into Words: The Selected Writings of Carroll Dunham. “A lot of super confused girls are sitting at home after ordering it off my Insta-story being like, ‘Why am I reading art criticism of Jasper Johns?’” Lena joked at one point. In honor of their family’s multihyphenate creativity, which extends far beyond art books, Carroll and Lena decided to screen a favorite film of theirs: Strange Days (1995), directed by Kathryn Bigelow and starring Ralph Fiennes, Juliette Lewis, and Angela Bassett. The epic science fiction thriller takes place on New Year’s Eve before the turn of the century in Los Angeles, where a new, illegal form of technology has become rampant. Lena and Carroll offer a few insights on the film and why it has become a bonafide obsession of theirs.
