Italian "Revelations" in Perth
July 2007
|
|
Recently, while working as Artistic Director for the Perth Revelation International Film Festival (which Quickflix also sponsors), I came across a great new Italian documentary.
Called Pasolini Next To Us ("Pasolini Prossimo Nostro"), it's directed by Guiseppe Bertolucci, brother of famous director Bernardo (Last Tango In Paris). It provides a rare glimpse into the mind of one of Italy's most famous - and infamous - directors: Pier Paolo Pasolini.

White Icy Movies
|
|
Living in a country such as Australia, steeped in drought and soaring temperatures, it's no wonder we like to watch films set in snowy climes.
While it does get cold here - hello Canberra! hello Melbourne! hello Mount Kosiousko! - spare a thought for those who wake up each day with their lives literally blanketed in the white icy stuff...

Megan Spencer has spent way too much of her life in the dark, all for a
good cause though - watching movies as a professional film critic. for the last
six and a half years she has been serving the ever-increasing hunger for film
and DVD reviews as radio triple j's resident film critic, and a year ago joined
the new line up of long-running SBS-TV film review program, The Movie Show.
And the impossible question to ask a film critic: what's her favourite film?
"Blue Velvet would be at the top of the list, so would Fight Club... But then
again American In Paris makes me cry every time."

TV on the streets of your town
|
|
Now
In my early mid 1970s TV watching days it was like there was a drama being shot on every street corner of my native Melbourne.
Channel 7 had Homicide, 9 had Division 4, and what was then Channel 0 had Matlock Police.
A few years later they were gone, but Prisoner was being shot at what was now Channel Ten's Nunawading grounds, and The Sullivans' producers were on the scrounge for every pre-World War II vista still standing.
Isn't it a nation's right to see it environs reflected on their small screens?
Think
Here are ten Australian dramas to watch to try to pick out the streets near where you live...

It's a tricky thing, a cult hit. How do you follow it up? Do you ride the hype, go Hollywood and risk being called a sell-out? Or stay small and potentially confine yourself to 'Also Out' columns for the rest of your days? The Shaun Of The Dead team has aimed for a point precisely between the two, and if they haven't quite hit the bullseye, they've come extremely close... Read full review |

2006 may be remembered as the year of the great autumnal female performance - from Meryl Streep's unforgettably cool fashionista in The Devil Wears Prada to Helen Mirren's uncanny monarch in The Queen, the seasoned actresses dominated the screen and year-end critical favour. Add to them Dame Judi Dench: while not exactly endowed with the subtlety of Streep and Mirren's roles, her performance here bristles with shrouded malice, repressed emotion, and finally the hair-pulling histrionics of the traditional cat-fight...

Rocky Balboa, The sixth entry in Sylvester Stallone's ring cycle, pulls off the unique cinematic feat of being totally terrible and completely brilliant at the same time. Thirty years after he first appeared (and 16 since Rocky V), Rocky Balboa, both the character and the film, remains simple, sentimental and cocksure... Read full review

Plasticine stocks surely took a dive when Aardman announced they'd be moving away from the squishy stuff to make their first all-CGI movie. But fans of the real-world look of Wallace And Gromit need not fill their wrong trousers because Flushed Away retains the chunky, caricatured style of previous outings from the Oscar-scooping UK production company - and, bless, they even developed a program to replicate fingerprint indentations in the cyber clay. Charming, yes, but this adherence to designs of the past isn't all good. Face it, the ball-eyed, long-faced and very Bwitish characters aren't everybody's cup of Earl Grey.... Read full review |
