Fright fans rejoice, FrightFest<\/A> is back, and what a line-up! Organiser Alan Jones talks us through the goodies on offer at the bank holiday festival, from the subtle poetry of teen vampire story Let the Right One In<\/I> (a film we totally fell in love with at the EIFF) to the splatter fest of Tokyo Gore Police<\/I>. For the more sensitive souls among you, the bank holiday weekend offers another kind of cinematic treat: Asia House<\/A> is putting on an oriental feast that stretches from the Gulf to the Far East. <\/p>\n

August is shaping up to be a great month for film fans in the UK, with some very exciting new releases. Top of our list is Sakuran<\/I><\/A>, the gorgeous, exuberant, pop-punk story of a rebellious prostitute by photographer Mika Ninagawa – definitely one for our ‘Rock’n’Roll Movie’ category! Also out is Man on Wire<\/I><\/A>, James Marsh’s documentary on Philippe Petit’s 1974 high-wire stunt walk between the Twin Towers, Ben X<\/I><\/A>, the visually inventive and touching story of a computer-game-playing Asperger teen bullied at school and Shane Meadows’s latest film Somers Town<\/I><\/A>. And at the BFI Southbank you will be able to see one of our all-time favourites, Badlands<\/I><\/A>, which really deserves to be seen on the big screen. <\/p>\n

Jesus Christ Saviour, which documents Klaus Kinski’s ill-fated 1971 New Testament stage monologue, was another remarkable film that screened at the Edinburgh Festival and we were lucky enough to talk to its director, Peter Geyer<\/A>. We also caught up with the great British director Peter Whitehead<\/A> at the Biograph Film in Bologna. And to celebrate the summer and outdoorsy cinematic fun, we chart the rise and fall and furtive pleasures of the drive-in<\/A>.<\/p>\n

In the DVD releases, we review the new Jeunet\/Caro box-set<\/A>, which gathers Delicatessen<\/I> and The City of Lost Children<\/I>, look at more French sci-fi with Eden Log<\/I><\/A>, rave about Kisses<\/I><\/A>, the first feature by the brilliant Yasuzo Masumura, rediscover the early work of Kinji ‘Battle Royale<\/I>‘ Fukasaku<\/A>, enjoy the atmosphere of South Korean supernatural tale Spider Forest<\/A><\/I> and look back at the Lynch classic The Elephant Man<\/I><\/A>.<\/p>\n

In the Short Cuts section we have a feature on Uncut<\/A>, the excellent film forum for young directors that runs monthly at the ICA. And in our Film Jukebox 21st-century Renaissance woman Crazy Girl<\/A> tells us about her top films.<\/p>\n
