Sion Sono: Social earthquakes, secret cults and strange perversions<\/b><\/p>\n

The release of Himizu<\/i><\/a>, a powerful manga-adapted teen drama set in post-tsunami Japan, is the occasion to take a closer look at the work of maverick director Sion Sono. We have an interview with Sono<\/a> and a review of Exte: Hair Extensions<\/i><\/a>, as well as previous reviews of Guilty of Romance<\/i><\/a>, Cold Fish<\/i><\/a>, Love Exposure<\/i><\/a> and Suicide Club<\/i><\/a>.<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n

At the cinema we review William Friedkin’s acclaimed comeback feature Killer Joe<\/i><\/a>, David Cronenberg’s Cosmopolis<\/i><\/a>, Billy Wilder’s classic The Apartment<\/i><\/a> and Kaneto Shind\u00f4’s poetic portrait of the struggles of peasant life The Naked Island<\/i><\/a>. We have a Comic Strip Review of Luis Bu\u00f1’s The Discreet Charm of the Bourgeoisie<\/i><\/a> and an interview with Bel\u00e1 Tarr<\/a> for his austerely apocalyptic final film, The Turin Horse<\/i>.<\/p>\n

In DVDs, we look at 1930s horror gem Island of Lost Souls<\/i><\/a>, Fritz Lang’s lovers on the run tale You Only Live Once<\/i><\/a>, and documentary Corman’s World: Exploits of a Hollywood Rebel<\/i><\/a>.<\/p>\n

In the blog we report on the Cannes festival<\/a>. In Alter Ego, Carol Rifka Brunt<\/a> is Harold but would like to be Maude.<\/p>\n

PODCASTS:<\/b><\/a>
\nModern Hauntings:<\/a>: Alex Fitch talks to Eduardo S\u00e1 about his debut film The Blair Witch Project<\/i> and his latest movie, Lovely Molly<\/i>, which follows the mental breakdown of a young woman tormented by the ghosts of her past. Also, in an interview recorded at SCI-FI-LONDON, Shawn Holmes talks about his micro-budget feature Memory Lane<\/i>, which sees an Afghanistan veteran cheating death repeatedly to revisit his memories of a dead girlfriend and solve the riddle of her death.<\/p>\n
