In films like Suzhou River and Saturday Fiction, Lou Ye nests his political criticisms within the protective comfort of self-reflexive narrative structures. The films’ meta-cinematic qualities—say, an old theater as both an espionage headquarters and a place of political spectacle—offer a manageable distance from reality while also creating a mesh netting for the real world to seep in. Lou’s scathing critiques—of political corruption and personal complicity—emerge through the gradual corrosion of the artificiality of his narrative frameworks.
An Unfinished Film provides no such buffer from reality, nor does it employ stylized fiction as a conduit to real life, as Lou just aims dead on for it. The Covid-19 pandemic is still recent history, and, to some degree, Lou employing his own history in the form of outtakes from films like Spring Fever and Mystery for Xiaorui’s (Mao Xiaorui) movie within the movie is relatively...

This week marks the 50th anniversary celebration of Saturday Night Live (or SNL as it is more colloquially known). In its half-century of running, SNL has become a comedic institution unmatched in television history. Conceived by Lorne Michaels, the visionary who still helms the show to this day, SNL follows an iconic structure that consists of a celebrity host (and monologue),a musical guest, sketches performed by a principal cast, a weekend update news segment, and, always, the declaration of the iconic, "live from New York it's Saturday Night."
A vast number of industry legends have gotten their start on SNL, including the likes of Eddie Murphy, Will Ferrell, Amy Poehler, Julia Louis Dreyfus, Adam Sandler, Tina Fey, and Mike Myers. However, few people know the truth behind SNL's chaotic origins in 1975, or how close the beloved show was to failing to exist at all. Luckily, this is the...

Quick LinksThe "Original" 'Saturday Night Live'One 'SNL's Failure and Another's Success
Live from New York, it's Saturday Night! Speaking of that iconic opening line, have you ever wondered why it's phrased that way? Why does it say just "Saturday Night" and not "Saturday Night Live?" Having two "lives" might be redundant, but isn't Saturday Night Live the name of the show? It is now, but that wasn't always the case.
Casual viewers may not know that the original name of the series was actually NBC's Saturday Night. That's why the opener is phrased that way. Even though it was always live, it didn't add that word to the title until Season 3. Believe it or not, this was because there was already a series titled Saturday Night Live on the air when the then-nbc's Saturday Night debuted in 1975. This "other" SNL was Saturday Night Live with Howard Cosell,...
