In our autumn issue we look at cruel games, from the politics of human blood sport in the Corman-produced ultra-violent Death Race<\/I>, to sadistic power play in the disturbingly funny Korean thriller A Bloody Aria<\/I>, fascist games in German hit The Wave<\/I> and Stanley Kubrick’s career-long fascination with game-playing. Plus: interview with comic book master Charles Burns about the stunning animated film Fear(s) of the Dark<\/I>, preview of the Raindance Festival, reviews of Tarsem’s The Fall<\/I> and Wong Kar Wai’s Ashes of Time Redux<\/I>. And don’t miss our fantastic London Film Festival comic strip, which surely is alone worth the price of the issue!<\/p>\n

The magazine is no longer available and we are no longer published by Wallflower Press.<\/div>\n

\tAlso in this issue: Compass of Mystery Festival, Carl Dreyer’s Vampyr<\/I>, Jan \u00c5\u00a0vankmajer’s Alice<\/I> and a Seeing Double review of Alex Proyas’s Dark City<\/I>!<\/p>\n
