Sight & Sound: August 2011

Cover of Sight & Sound August 2011The latest Sight & Sound is out, complete with the following pieces by me:

  • Faccia a faccia (p. 85) – review of Eureka’s new DVD of Sergio Sollima’s underrated Italian western, released uncut for the first time in Britain;
  • The Halfway House (p. 86) – review of Optimum’s excellent DVD restoration of Ealing Studios’ J.B. Priestley-like wartime ghost story;
  • The Kremlin Letter (p. 86) – review of Eureka’s DVD of John Huston’s fantastically downbeat Cold War drama about disillusioned spies;
  • Rififi (p. 89) – review of the Arrow Academy edition of the classic heist thriller, complete with one of the best black-and-white pictures yet seen on a Blu-ray;
  • The Kingdom I & II (p. 91) – review of the superb new Second Sight edition of Lars von Trier and Morton Arnfred’s gleefully unhinged hospital soap opera.
