\tWomen on the Verge: Psychotic spinsters, possessed housewives, troubled temptresses<\/B><\/p>\n

This month is dominated by fraught females, from the homicidal young professional in Dream Home<\/I><\/A> and the desperate Serbian spinsters of Tears for Sale<\/I><\/A> to Isabelle Adjani’s unhinged demon lover in Possession<\/I><\/A> and the murderous sister in Czech extravaganza Morgiana<\/I><\/A>. Plus our Reel Sounds column focuses on The Innocents<\/I><\/A>‘ soundtrack to a governess’s unravelling.<\/p>\n

Possession<\/I> was banned as a \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcvideo nasty’ and new documentary Video Nasties: The Definitive Guide<\/A> provides a timely context for its UK DVD debut. Another notorious film vilified on its release is celebrating its 50th anniversary: Michael Powell’s seminal Peeping Tom<\/I><\/A>.<\/p>\n

Thai reverie Uncle Boonmee Who Can Recall His Past Lives<\/I><\/A> is on UK screens this month – read our interview with director Apitchatpong Weerasethakul<\/A>. We also review intriguing Mexican cannibal tale We Are What We Are<\/I><\/A> and we talk to Michael Rowe, director of the Mexico-set psycho-sexual drama Leap Year<\/I><\/A>. <\/p>\n

In the DVDs, we have a Comic Strip Review of Big Tits Zombie<\/I><\/A> while Hammer and Tongs<\/A> discuss their work. Short Cuts focuses on collage artist Lewis Klahr<\/A> while writer Rebecca Hunt’s Alter Ego<\/A> is Ferris Bueller. The blog has previews, including onedotzero<\/A>, and reports on Raindance<\/A> and the 7th Chinese Independent Film Festival<\/A> – read the interview with director Zhao Dayong<\/A>.<\/p>\n

PODCAST:<\/B><\/A>
\nDangerous Women and Foxy Heroes<\/B><\/A>: To complement this month’s theme, we present a pair of Q&As recorded at Electric Sheep<\/I> film club screenings. Alex Fitch talks to Zoe Baxter, the presenter of Resonance FM’s radio show about Asian culture in the UK, and they discuss the epic \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcwuxia’ film Hero<\/I>, which featured memorable roles for female action heroes Maggie Cheung and Ziyi Zhang. In the main interview, Electric Sheep<\/I> editor Virginie S&#233lavy talks to Brixton-based filmmaker Rebecca Johnson, director of Top Girl<\/I><\/A>, about the classic \u00e2\u20ac\u02dcblaxploitation’ film Foxy Brown<\/I>, starring Pam Grier.<\/p>\n
