\tOutlandish Westerns: a wild bunch of demented gunslingers, mystic outlaws and revolutionary bandidos<\/I><\/B><\/p>\n

To celebrate the release of a box-set including Django<\/I>, Keoma<\/I> and A Bullet for the General<\/I>, we have an article on Italian Westerns<\/A>. We also look at Glauber Rocha’s take on the holy bandit, Antonio das Mortes<\/I><\/A>, and admire Ennio Morricone’s soundtrack to Corbucci’s The Great Silence<\/I><\/A> while writer Patrick Hargadon<\/A> imagines being Yul Brynner as The Gunslinger in Futureworld<\/I>.<\/p>\n

We interview Claire Denis<\/A> who revisits Africa in White Material<\/I>, and Catherine Breillat<\/A> who reworks the classic fairy tale Bluebeard<\/I>. Other cinema releases include Christopher Nolan’s dream thriller Inception<\/I><\/A>, Splice<\/I><\/A> by Cube<\/I><\/A> director Vincenzo Natali, French musical genius biopic Gainsbourg<\/I><\/A>, and original British gangster movie Down Terrace<\/I><\/A>. Watch the Splice<\/I> trailer<\/A> and the Brothers McLeod’s new animated film<\/A>.<\/p>\n

In the new DVDs, we review Imamura’s stunning epic Profound Desires of the Gods<\/I><\/A> and George A Romero’s vampire satire Martin<\/I><\/A> gets the comic strip treatment. This month’s Colonial Report from the Dominion of Canada<\/A> looks at Alain Cavalier’s neo-noir<\/I> Le combat dans l’\u00c3\u00aele<\/I>. <\/p>\n

In the Short Cuts, we review the Edinburgh Film Festival’s shorts<\/A> programmes, including Maska<\/I>, the new film by the Brothers Quay<\/A>. In the Jukebox, Danish film score composers Cours Lapin<\/A>, who mix chanson fran\u00c3\u00a7aise and twisted fairy tales, tell us about their favourite films. In the blog, we have reviews of the Istanbul Film Festival<\/A>, the latest Secret Cinema<\/A> event and the Edinburgh Film Festival<\/A>. <\/p>\n

PODCAST:<\/B><\/A> alt.cowboy<\/B><\/A>: Alex Fitch talks to BFI programmer Emma Smart about gay themes in Westerns after a screening of Midnight Cowboy<\/I> and to Ian Rakoff about the crossover between Western-themed comics and movies before a screening of For a Few Dollars More<\/I>.<\/p>\n
