So delighted to share this piece! For the New York Times I talked to Studio Ghibli co-founder Toshio Suzuki and legendary composer Joe Hisaishi about their respective relationships with animation master Hayao Miyazaki and THE BOY AND THE HERON: tinyurl.com/4m9tnnz3

And thank you educators. The librarian at my public elementary school in Mexico City, my 6th grade teacher who encouraged me to write, my high school English teacher who helped me improve my writing in a second language, my community college prof. who let me write essays on film.
Got my award from the @LAPressClub. As an immigrant, this means so much to me in this moment. I’ve made it this far only because my mom allowed me to dream beyond our circumstances and because of all the wonderful friends, colleagues, editors that have supported me. Thank you 💙

Found a grail at the Bookoff today. One of Jia Zhangke’s films I was missing.
Kiyoshi Kurosawa’s thrilling CLOUD is in theaters now. For the New York Times, I wrote about what connects his eclectic filmography from CURE to CHARISMA to TOKYO SONATA, and more. A treat to write about one of the most fascinating filmmakers working today. Link in first reply.
“The Guardian” called “The Wind Rises” “visually exquisite and emotionally charged.” See Hayao Miyazaki’s epic tale of love and perseverance on the big screen at The Ford on July 27. Hosted by film critic and writer Carlos Aguilar (@carlos_film) with trivia and prizes from Super…
A terrific read from @Carlos_Film.

KILL THE JOCKEY, Luis Ortega’s gonzo crime concoction is now playing in its third week 🏇 “Delicious, absurdist decadence… An intoxicating crime dramedy about one person’s ordeal to live their true identity.” @Carlos_Film, @EbertVoices 🎟️ buff.ly/8t7RkLK
