Gigola
DVD review | 25 December 2011
The intriguing world of the 60s Parision garçonnes is explored in Laure Charpentier's intriguing if underdeveloped adaptation of her own novel, recently released on UK DVD by Peccadillo. |
Dersu Uzala
DVD review | 18 December 2011
Artificial Eye have re-released Kurosawa's marvellous, Oscar-winning humanitarian drama, but are they just re-packaging old and imperfect goods, or is this the upgrade the film needed? |
The Ballad of Narayama
blu-ray review | 12 December 2011
A woefully late review of the Blu-ray from Masters of Cinema's October dual format release of Imamura Shôhei's captivating, if unflinching story of life in a 19th century mountain village. |
Free Radicals
article | 11 December 2011
Jerry Whyte considers political movements and moments, past and present, with the aid of the odd book and several films screened at the London Film Festival, focusing on Bernadette: Notes on a Political Journey and The Black Power Mixtape. |
Sailcloth
film review | 6 December 2011
John Hurt has had a banner year at the cinema, but his most affecting performance of 2011 is yet to be seen by the general public. Elfar Adalsteins' award-winning short is a wonderful showcase for the actor. |

blu-ray review | 27 November 2011
Part 2 of Tom Six's proposed trilogy of increasingly disturbing horrors arrives on UK Blu-ray with BBFC cuts and a health warning. But is it any good? |
Take Shelter
film review | 25 November 2011
Writer/director Jeff Nichols makes a quantum leap with his follow-up to Shotgun Stories. His last collaboration with actor Michael Shannon was one of the top ten films of 2008. With Take Shelter they’ve reunited to make the single best film of 2011. |
Secret Beyond the Door
dvd review | 23 November 2011
An atmospheric, beautifully shot Freudian noir update of the Bluebeard tale from Fritz Lang's mid American period gets a fine looking UK DVD release from Exposure Cinema. |
The Woman
blu-ray review | 18 November 2011
Hell hath no fury like a scorned film fan duped by the hype machine. Lucky McKee’s ‘return to form’ is not only one of the most talked about films of the year, but also one of the most crushingly disappointing. |
