The last real earthquake to hit cinema was Blue Velvet. There is much of what noir does best in here: Kyle MacLachlan’s Jeffrey Beaumont slips past the safety rails and hops right into a raging maelstrom of guilt and evil as blithely as any noir protagonist ever did; and Dennis Hopper’s...

If a rock musician’s dream were to play with Jagger and Richards, then the equivalent for a dub band (a musical genre derived from reggae) would be to brush against Lee “Scratch” Perry and Mad Professor. And it turns out that in Argentina, a country with practically zero tradition...

A school and a film director have joined forces in order to make a film. The filmmaker (Rosendo Ruiz) provided what a film director must provide, of course, but he went far beyond: he became fully involved in a collective work, left aside another part of what a film director is supposed to provide,...

“It’s very difficult to keep the line between the past and the present,” says Little Edie Bouvier Beale in Grey Gardens (1975). Dog Lady is not Grey Gardens and perhaps doesn’t owe a thing to it: they have common features, but for that reason both films repel just like equal...

Come on, let’s fight the monster of History. Or if you prefer, some other one that’s even more terrible: prejudice. Because Tubular Bells is that annoying lesson we used to receive from our older brothers to the cry of “This is real music!” It’s the superb picture of yo...

There is a key element that can be seen when the title of the film is presented: the line below the title, with the year and copyright, makes it seem as if it were a film from the sixties or seventies, of those that show tortuous emotional confinement like, for example, Roman Polanski’s Repuls...

This is not just another documentary on the increasingly fundamental Rainer Werner Fassbinder. It’s a documentary that includes never-seen-before interviews with Fassbinder –meeting-interviews shot by Danish director Christian Braad Thomsen. It’s a portrait, the story of a friendsh...
