\tSeasonal fun starts with the release of 80s shocker Silent Night, Deadly Night<\/I><\/A>, uncut for the first time in the UK: killer Santa, heaps of gore and nudity, a dollop of sexual and religious guilt, it’s got it all. Being in the mood for terror, we take the opportunity of a new Blu-ray release to revisit The Texas Chain Saw Massacre<\/I><\/A> and admire its ground-breaking soundtrack. Fans of spurting blood will be impressed by the geysers coming out of treacherous samurais dispatched by the hero of Lone Wolf and Cub<\/I><\/A>. Although famous for its violence, the ultra-stylish 70s Japanese series has a lot more to offer than spectacular fight scenes. And we also look at Enzo Castellari’s macaroni war film Eagles over London<\/I><\/A> – fun for the whole cult fan family. For a different kind of festive entertainment, watch out for British classic The Queen of Spades<\/I><\/A>, a dark, dreamlike tale of bargains with the devil released as a special Boxing Day treat around the UK. <\/p>\n

Out at the cinema this month is Jim Jarmusch’s latest, The Limits of Control<\/I><\/A>. Jarmusch has become synonymous with American independent film, and our review of a revised edition of 100 American Independent Films<\/I><\/A> is the occasion to look at the changes that have affected this sector in recent years. Things may be difficult, but the stunning Redland<\/I><\/A>, which showed at Raindance in October, is proof that independent filmmakers are still able to produce work of remarkable quality \u00e2\u20ac\u201c read our interview with director Asiel Norton and writer\/producer Magdalena Zyzak<\/A>.<\/p>\n

\tContinuing our coverage of Raindance’s Japanese women directors strand, we have an interview with the unique Sachi Hamano<\/A>, one of the first female filmmakers in Japan and the director of over 300 pink films. We also talk to Apitchapong Weerasethakul<\/A> about his video installation Primitive<\/I>, which was presented at AND in September. And as omnibus film Germany 09<\/I><\/A> screens at the 12th Festival of German Films, we have an interview with two of the co-directors, Tow Tykwer and Fatih Akin.<\/p>\n

\t In the Short Cuts section, we explore the uncompromising world of animator Max Hattler<\/A> while the Prisoner<\/I>-inspired duo Do Not Forsake Me Oh My Darling<\/A> pick their favourite movies in the Film Jukebox. <\/p>\n
