Sight & Sound: November 2009

Cover of Sight & Sound November 2009The latest Sight & Sound is out, complete with the following pieces by me:

  • Social construct (p. 12) – interview with Lithuanian sculptor-turned-video artist Deimantas Narkevičius on the eve of the BFI Southbank unveiling of his latest installation;
  • Colin (p. 52) – review of Marc Price’s unavoidably rough-edged (the reported budget was £45!) but rather impressive zombie film;
  • Katalin Varga (p. 69) – review of Peter Strickland’s very promising directorial debut, filmed in Transylvania in languages that he didn’t actually speak at the time;
  • Diary for My Children (p. 85) – review of Second Run’s excellent DVD of the first part of Márta Mészáros’s autobiographical trilogy;
  • Films by Tony Richardson (p. 89) – namely Look Back in Anger, Mademoiselle and Joseph Andrews, all out on Optimum DVDs;
  • Films by Jacques Rivette (p. 89) – namely Jeanne la Pucelle and Secret Défense, all out on Artificial Eye DVDs.
