Jim Thompson: Mean men, hellish women, savage minds and corrupted souls<\/B><\/p>\n

With Michael Winterbottom’s take on Jim Thompson’s The Killer inside Me<\/I><\/A> out this month we explore the films based on the hardest of hard-boiled novelists, including The Grifters<\/I><\/A>, After Dark, My Sweet<\/I><\/A>, The Getaway<\/I><\/A> and a Reel Sounds column on S\u00c3\u00a9rie noire<\/I><\/A>. In Alter Ego<\/A>, writer Ryan David Jahn wonders about being Jim Thompson.<\/p>\n

Other cinema releases include Coppola’s Tetro<\/I><\/A> and faux horror documentary Resurrecting the Streetwalker<\/I><\/A>. In the DVDs, we take a look at Guy Hamilton’s notorious 60s beatnik movie The Party’s Over<\/I><\/A>, Jan Nemec’s Diamonds of the Night<\/I><\/A>, Johnnie To’s Vengeance<\/I><\/A> and Thai horror anthology Phobia<\/I><\/A>. We review the Vice Guide to Mexican Narco Cinema<\/A> in our Online Movies and we have a Kurosawa comic strip<\/A>.<\/p>\n

We interview the Brothers Quay<\/A> about Institute Benjamenta<\/I>, and we present the first Colonial Report from the Dominion of Canada, which deals with The Golden Age of American Television<\/I><\/A>, as well as articles on Fassbinder’s sci-fi tale World on a Wire<\/I><\/A> and two Lucio Fulci<\/A> releases.<\/p>\n

In the blog, we have a report on the Terracotta Festival<\/A> and a preview of new BBC show Pulse<\/I><\/A>. In the Film Jukebox, uke-wielding indiepopsters Allo’ Darlin’<\/A> pick Abba-centric movies. Read the winning review of Midnight Cowboy<\/I><\/A> in our film writing competition.<\/p>\n

PODCAST:<\/B><\/A> The Polish New Wave?<\/B><\/A>: Alex Fitch talks to Andrzej &#379u?awski about his struggles in getting his esoteric sci-fi epic On the Silver Globe<\/I> released and the travails involved in making his horror films The Third Part of the Night<\/I> (1971) and Possession<\/I> (1981) under the eyes of a communist regime. Alex Fitch also talks to Polish poster designer Andrzej Klimowski and his wife Danusia Schejbal about working on the fringes of Polish filmmaking in the late 1970s.<\/p>\n
