Alienated Majesty’s new series doesn’t work in the adaptation space as so many other book/film clubs do. Their intent is, as they put it, to pair kino with printed work “to enrich the movie-watching experience far beyond the cinema.” (Although they also swear not to hold it against you if you don’t read the book first – or at all.) Consider these paratextual rather than adaptive works, okay? This month’s entry puts 1970 near-biographical picture WANDA alongside deep-dive tome on its filmmaker Suite for Barbara Loden, with a post-screening sweet treat in the excellent programmer Jenny McKeown’s live Q&A. – James Scott
