Treachery: Cheaters, liars, tricksters and traitors<\/b><\/p>\n

Treachery is this month’s theme: we have reviews of True Love<\/i><\/a>, a thriller that explores the dangerous consequences of lying to your spouse, and Extracted<\/i><\/a>, a cerebral puzzler that explores the truths and lies we tell ourselves, both screening at SCI-FI-LONDON, Vincente Minelli’s take on glamorous betrayal in Hollywood The Bad and the Beautiful<\/i><\/a>, Australian tale of scapegoats in the Boer War Breaker Morant<\/i><\/a> and high-octane Welsh-directed Indonesian martial arts actioner The Raid<\/i><\/a>, which is released this month.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

We have articles on Joseph L. Mankiewicz’s theatre of treachery<\/a> from All about Eve<\/i> to Cleopatra<\/i>, manly betrayal in Westerns<\/a> and the treachery of memory in Blade Runner<\/i><\/a>. In Alter Ego, Elizabeth Wilson<\/a> is Wicked Lady<\/i> Margaret Lockwood while Reel Sounds delves into Roman Polanski’s The Tragedy of Macbeth<\/i><\/a>.<\/p>\n

At the cinema we look at Marcel Carn\u00c3\u00a9 poetic realist classic Le quai des brumes<\/i><\/a>, She Monkeys<\/i><\/a>, a Swedish debut about two young women’s competitive friendship set in the world of equestrian acrobatics, and dark sci-fi drama Clone<\/i><\/a>, and we have an interview with Udo Kier, who stars in sci-fi extravaganza Iron Sky<\/i><\/a>. Hammer thriller The Plague of the Zombies<\/i><\/a> is the subject of our Comic Strip Review while Cine Lit looks at books on Iranian cinema, conspiracy cinema and saucy British cinema<\/a>.<\/p>\n

PODCASTS:<\/b><\/a>

Writer-producer Fabio Guaglione and director Enrico Clerico Nasino discuss trust and betrayal, using genre to analyse a romantic relationship, and other \u00e2\u20ac\u02dclocked room’ films, including Vincenzo Natali’s Cube<\/i><\/a> (1997).<\/p>\n
