Above and beyond all else beautifully shot, the sequences in each of the four locations are rendered stunningly as the lens drifts over landscapes or hovers on daily routines or else

FILM FIGHT CLUB S2E26: BLACKKKLANSMAN & SYDNEY FILM FESTIVAL WRAP
Where we fight about some ‘fo real, ‘fo real shit, the Sydney Film Festival prize, some heavier, recurring themes of this year’s Festival, the final weekend of films and the ones you should look out […]
BLACKKKLANSMAN
“You cannot laugh and be afraid at the same time, and the devil cannot stand mockery.” Stephen Colbert’s words on election night 2016, or those like them, figured strongly in Spike Lee’s conception of BlacKkKlansman. […]
FILM FIGHT CLUB S2E25: SYDNEY FILM FESTIVAL
Where we fight about what we’ve seen at the Sydney Film Festival, the best flicks from the second week and what you should look out for in cinemas soon – Wednesdays 7:30PM on […]
THE GUILTY
Packing more furrowed-brow acting into a film than you are ever likely to see, The Guilty is a reliably mood-driven Danish thriller. Set entirely in an emergency response centre, Copenhagen cop Asger (Jakob Cedergren), demoted […]
THE RANGER
No good comes of no good punk teens getting up to no good. The near-annual Sydney Film Festival punk rock-metal slasher gore horror-shocker ritual rears its head in the guise of The Ranger, one that […]
LEAVE NO TRACE
It’s rare you see something so powerful emerge from that so inscrutable. Ben Foster, now a force in Hollywood to be reckoned with following phenomenal turns in the likes of Hell or High Water, is […]

PRODUCER ANT TIMPSON TALKS ‘THE FIELD GUIDE TO EVIL’
“The directive to them was to find origin stories that hadn’t been visible for a long time, that was the dark well they all went down and it was really interesting to see what they […]
AMERICAN ANIMALS
“There’s probably a lot that I embellished but not that much that I fabricated.” Bart Layton’s new film, based on the remarkable true story of a group of young men and their plan to heist […]
THE KINDERGARTEN TEACHER
Blocking. It doesn’t get talked about much, but it’s very important – and Sara Colangelo knows what she’s doing. Increasingly obsessing over one of her students Jimmy (Parker Sevak), kindergarten teacher Lisa (Maggie Gyllenhaal) involves […]
THE PRINCE OF NOTHINGWOOD
Chomping scenery in each and every scene, the subject of The Prince of Nothingwood despite this feature film treatment remains strangely elusive. The chronicling of the current and historic exploits of prolific Afghani low-budget filmmaker-actor […]
SAMUI SONG
You probably saw that coming, but it won’t matter. Thai filmmaker Pen-Ek Ratanaruang’s latest could laxly be described as Dial M for Murder railroaded by a comedy of errors, but that wouldn’t ascribe much to […]
FILMWORKER
A film about film obsessives for one in the same, Filmworker offers a portrait of the one and only Stanley Kubrick that is, as elusively as just about any of the master’s output, a portrait […]
