The Filmmaker Overview Essay
...writes about Abel Ferrara
Most great directors have signatures: Max Ophuls expansively tracking camera, Hou Hsiao-hsiens static long shot-long takes, Jean-Luc Godards montage-mix of sampled and interrupted sound sources.

BERLIN & BEYOND 2008The Edge of Heaven (Auf der anderen Seite / Yasamin kiyisinda)
...writes at No Tofu : " The Edge of Heaven is a falsely grandiose title. It has been translated from the more interrogative From the Other Side, which better conveys the issues at stake here of borders and landmasses, identification and fervor.

PFA: HONG KONG NOCTURNETwitch on To
...writes : "The spirit of Akira Kurosawa lingers in To's loose-limbed, light-hearted update of Sanshiro Sugata . Perversely refusing to update that 1943 film's judo-obsessed plot, To assuredly creates a current world where judo is still the hottest thing in Hong Kong's nightclubs, arcades, and triad dens. Ex-judo champion Szeto has exiled...

...writes creepy Sci-horror short stories. For more information visit http://www.apexbookcompany.com The fans are great. Stay the same, people
Do we need mainstream acceptance? I would argue that science fiction IS the mainstream. It's all a sneaky ruse pulled on the public. Many of the best novels (film and comics as well) in the past few years...
