The latest Sight & Sound is out, complete with the following pieces by me:
- brilliantlove (p. 56) – review of Ashley Horner’s paean to youthful erotic obsession: a very promising first half leads to a second without much to say;
- Red & White (p. 73) – review of Yadi Sugandi’s slick, not unenjoyable but terminally clichéd Indonesian war movie;
- Last Night (p. 86) – review of Park Circus’ DVD of Don McKellar’s very Canadian comedy of manners as assorted people contemplate the planet’s imminent but unexplained demise;
- Films by Claudia Llosa (p. 86) – review of Dogwoof’s double-bill DVD of the first two features by the Peruvian director, over which the twin spirits of Luis Buñuel and Werner Herzog loom large;
- Morgiana (p. 87) – review of Second Run’s DVD of Juraj Herz’s delirious Gainsborough-on-acid Gothic melodrama;
- Will Success Spoil Rock Hunter? (p. 89) – review of Masters of Cinema’s excellent Blu-ray edition of Frank Tashlin’s 1950s consumerist satire;
- The World (p. 90) – review of Masters of Cinema’s superlative Blu-ray edition of Jia Zhangke’s unsettling blend of documentary and fiction, filmed in a genuine theme park.
