Attenberg
Lately, I ‘ve been noticing a tendency to associate Greek cinema with “difficult”, “challenging” films. The Guardian called it “the Greek wave of weird cinema”. Harsh, unforgiving films who refuse to comfort the viewer and whose point is usually obscured behind allegory, symbolism or multiple...

Senna
It’s been a great year for documentaries and Asif Kapadia’s stunning film on the life and death of Ayrton Senna was one of the best. The film follows Senna’s career through a mixture of TV footage, family home videos and interviews with people who knew him, as he blazes through Formula One. It focuses on ...

Ken Russell (03/07/1927 – 27/11/2011): Blasphemy and Fun
Ken Russell, who died yesterday, was responsible for some great films and some terrible ones. I think he belongs to a category of filmmakers whose fierce intelligence and love for excess occasionally resulted in anarchic, sensual films that are definately not for everyone. Think Donald Cammell, Alejandro Jodorowsky, Nicolas Roeg and Álex de la...

Satanic Majesties
There was a very interesting article in The Guardian the other day about occult rock, from Coven and Black Widow, to Ghost and The Devil’s Blood. I am really surprised to see a mainstream broadsheet paper like The Guardian covering such an underground phenomenon. They really did their homework too, talking to Cathedral’s Lee Dorrian ...
