DVD: Bela Tarr’s “The Outsider” (Facets)
Film [Rating:3.5] DVD [Rating:3] “The Outsider” is the second feature film from Hungarian director Bela Tarr (“Werckmeister Harmonies”). The story is set in a small provincial town and it follows the tribulations of Andras Szabo, a young violin player and heavy drinker that has no control of his own life; he has been kicked out [...] -
DVD: Jean Renoir’s “Toni” (Eureka)
Film (4/5) DVD (4.5/5) I have recently seen the Master of Cinema critical edition of “Toni”, published by Eureka in a great DVD. The 1934 film is Renoir’s landmark entry into realist filmmaking and, through Luchino Visconti, assistant director on “Toni”, it holds its place as front-runner of Italian Neorealism. The challenge of the film was [...] -
Review – Tim Burton’s “Alice in Wonderland”
Tim Burton’s most recent feature ‘Alice in Wonderland’ is maniacal and colourful, like the rest of his filmography. Stylistically, the film is multi-layered; it is gloomy and sinister in aesthetic. The mise en scene is unpredictable, unsettling and unhinged, much like the March Hare’s throwing antics. Whilst Burton’s Gothic, hyper-real visuals are eye-catching, the film, [...] -
Review: “Crazy Heart”
(3/5) “Crazy Heart” belongs to a long tradition of American movies focused on the loser. The film shows, in a romantic fashion, how such men lose themselves in society and deal with this reality of loss. It is the long shadow of the American Dream; the other side of the coin on the very same [...] -
Review – Martin Scorsese’s “Shutter Island”
Martin Scorsese’s ‘Shutter Island’ is shot in perpetual gloom. The film is reminiscent of a nightmare: always dark, chaotic and unsettled. Whilst Scorsese employs elements of the psychological thriller, he also refers to the melodrama in order to explain his story. The film is about a man trapped in his own mind, a struggle that [...] -
Focus on Claudia Cardinale at ACMI
Friday 19 February – Sunday 28 February 2010 A spotlight on the most glamorous screen star to emerge out of 1960s Italian cinema, graduating from ‘Italian Bardot’ to the undisputed darling of auteurs from Visconti and Fellini to Leone. Curated by Roberta Ciabarra “From beauty queen to international movie star in seven years is a modern [...] -
25th Anniversary Review – Martin Scorsese’s “After Hours”
Twenty five years after its release, Martin Scorsese’s 1985 black comedy/thriller ‘After Hours’ remains one of the director’s most (if not, his most) underrated feature. The narrative follows the adventures of Paul Hackett (brilliantly played by Griffin Dunne): an ordinary New York City worker trying to get home after becoming entangled in a series of [...] -
Avatar: Ecodigital Wars
James Cameron’s ‘Avatar’ is a blockbuster with purpose. Set in the future and extraterrestrial planet Pandora, the film has a very terrestrial and present – almost nostalgic – message about war and nature. More than the usual sci-fi, Cameron’s feature is well grounded in history, with references to American Wars (such as the Vietnam and [...] -
