\tManga Adaptations: Tackling Fukushima, delinquent school boys and vengeful women<\/B><\/p>\n

As the Terracotta Festival presents the UK premiere of Sion Sono’s Himizu<\/I><\/A> this month, using a comic to tackle the fallout from Fukushima, we take a look at manga adaptations with Takashi Miike’s stylised, violent high school movie Crows Zero<\/I><\/A>, Toshiya Fujita’s 70s revenge tale Lady Snowblood: Blizzard from the Netherworld<\/I><\/A>, Korean manhwa vampire Western Priest<\/I><\/A> and SF actioner Gantz<\/I><\/A> while the Reel Sounds column focuses on Ichi the Killer<\/I><\/A>.<\/p>\n

La Grande Illusion<\/I><\/A>, Aki Kaurism&#228ki’s light-hearted fable Le Havre<\/I><\/A>, Pablo Sorrentino’s This Must Be the Place<\/I><\/A>, Norwegian crime thriller Headhunters<\/I><\/A>, revisionist Western Blackthorn<\/I><\/A> and striking Austrian debut Breathing<\/I><\/A>, about an ex-convict. In DVDs, we look at Pasolini’s The Gospel according to Matthew<\/I><\/A>, Robin Hardy’s The Wicker Tree<\/I><\/A> and Peter de Rome’s erotic gay films<\/A>. <\/p>\n

We have an interview with French director Dominik Moll for The Monk<\/I><\/A>, adapted from Matthew Lewis’s Gothic novel. In Short Cuts we report back on the Flatpack festival<\/A>, in Alter Ego Darran McCann<\/A> is George Bailey in It’s a Wonderful Life<\/I> and the Dominion of Canada column looks at ice hockey movies<\/A>.<\/p>\n

PODCASTS:<\/B><\/A>
\nRoee Rosen: Vile, Evil Veil<\/A>: Israeli artist, writer and filmmaker Roee Rosen talks about his first UK solo exhibition Vile, Evil Veil<\/I>, which consists of the installation Live and Die as Eva Braun<\/I>, exploring the life of Hitler’s lover in the bunker at the end of the Second World War, and the film Out<\/I> (Tse<\/I>), which stages a sado-masochist exorcism between a queer left-wing activist and a possessed ultra-nationalist woman. Rosen discusses the dynamic of power in human relationships, both personal and political, the importance of the victim\/victimiser dichotomy in Israeli identity and how to exorcise the demon in all of us. <\/p>\n
