The second issue of Electric Sheep is now ready and we have some rich pickings for you to graze on. First we take a magnifying glass to the weird and wonderful world of visionary animators The Brothers Quay<\/A> with an interview and a review of their DVD of dazzlingly inventive shorts<\/A>. <\/p>\n

Next we rave about David Lynch’s vertiginous Inland Empire<\/A>, which sees the eccentric director at his unhinged best. Also out this month is The Family Friend<\/A>, Paolo Sorrentino’s provocative follow-up to the critically acclaimed The Consequences of Love. And we take a look at Samurai 7<\/A>, a futuristic anime version of Akira Kurosawa’s Seven Samurai, showing at the Barbican as part of their Japanimation series.<\/p>\n

To kick off our new ‘Rock’n’Roll Movies’ series we have a review of Performance<\/A>, Nicolas Roeg’s classic study of sixties rock decadence, newly released on DVD. We mark the release of a Guillermo del Toro<\/A> boxset we have a feature on the Mexican enfant terrible while elsewhere we go all right-on with counterculture documentary Berkeley in the Sixties<\/A>. And the DVD re-release of Michael Powell’s haunting thriller Peeping Tom<\/A> is the occasion for an essay exploring the film’s connections with the mythological figure of Medusa.<\/p>\n

Last but not least, we’re very excited to have all-girl London band The Schla-la-las<\/A> launch our brand new Film Jukebox \u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u20ac\u0153 every month we’ll ask a band to pick their ten all-time favourite films. Take a look at the Schlas’ exuberantly eclectic selection here<\/A>!<\/p>\n

Don’t forget that every month we’ll give you the chance to get your cinephile hands on a film prize \u00c3\u00a2\u00e2\u201a\u00ac\u00e2\u20ac\u0153 all you have to do to win is spin the Film Roulette<\/A>! We’re pleased to announce that our February winner is Anna Smith. Well done Anna, you’ve won a DVD of 13 (Tzameti)<\/A>, courtesy of Revolver Entertainment. This month we have a truly special, beautifully packaged DVD of The Brothers Quay Shorts, courtesy of the BFI. So get spinning!<\/a>.<\/p>\n
