The December 2008 MovieMail catalogue arrive in today’s post, complete with three new pieces that they commissioned from me on the subject of Sergo Paradjanov’s last two features, Wojciech J. Has’s The Hourglass Sanatorium and Andrei Zvyagintsev’s The Banishment.

A facsimile of the print catalogue can be read here.

A new MovieMail catalogue entry, for Michelangelo Antonioni’s Red Desert. They also commissioned a piece on Charles Burnett’s Killer of Sheep, but that seems to have been delayed.

This is the feature that I wrote for the MovieMail catalogue extolling the virtues of the BFI’s marvellous double-DVD set The GPO Film Unit Volume 1: Addressing the Nation.

The same catalogue also contains my much shorter piece on Guy Maddin’s My Winnipeg.
