Lou has a bunch of problems. Woman problems. Law enforcement problems. An ever-growing pile of murder victims in his west Texas jurisdiction. And the fact he’s a sadist, a psychopath, a killer. Suspicion begins to fall on Lou, and it’s only a matter of time before he runs out of alibis. But in Thompson’s savage, bleak, blacker than noir universe nothing is ever what it seems, and it turns out that the investigators pursuing him might have a secret of their own.

    9 SONGS AFILMBYMICHAEL WINTERBOTTOM One summer, two people, eight bands, 9 Songs. Featuring exclusive live footage of Black Rebel Motorcycle Club The Von Bondies Elbow Primal Scream The Dandy Warhols Super Furry Animals Franz Ferdinand Michael Nyman “9 Songs” takes place in London in the autumn of 2003. Lisa, an American student in London for a year, meets Matt at a Black Rebel Motorcycle Club concert in Brixton. They fall in love. Explicit and intimate, 9 SONGS follows the course of their intense, passionate, highly sexual affair, as they make love, talk, go to concerts. And then part forever, when Lisa leaves to return to America. CAST Margo STILLEY AS LISA Kieran O’BRIEN AS MATT CREW DIRECTOR Michael WINTERBOTTOM DP Marcel ZYSKIND SOUND Stuart WILSON EDITORS Mat WHITECROSS / Michael WINTERBOTTOM SOUND EDITOR Joakim SUNDSTROM PRODUCERS Andrew EATON / Michael WINTERBOTTOM EXECUTIVE PRODUCER Andrew EATON ASSOCIATE PRODUCER Melissa PARMENTER PRODUCTION REVOLUTION FILMS ABOUT THE PRODUCTION IDEAS AND INSPIRATION Michael Winterbottom was initially inspired by acclaimed and controversial French author Michel Houellebecq’s sexually explicit novel “Platform” – “It’s a great book, full of explicit sex, and again I was thinking, how come books can do this but film, which is far better disposed to it, can’t?” The film is told in flashback. Matt, who is fascinated by Antarctica, is visiting the white continent and recalling his love affair with Lisa. In voice-over, he compares being in Antarctica to being ‘two people in a bed - claustrophobia and agoraphobia in the same place’. Images of ice and the never-ending Antarctic landscape are effectively cut in to shots of the crowded concerts.

  • What Killed Australian Cinema & Why Is the Bloody Corpse Still Moving?
    What Killed Australian Cinema & Why is the Bloody Corpse Still Moving? A Thesis Submitted By Jacob Zvi for the Degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the Faculty of Health, Arts & Design, Swinburne University of Technology, Melbourne © Jacob Zvi 2019 Swinburne University of Technology All rights reserved. This thesis may not be reproduced in whole or in part, by photocopy or other means, without the permission of the author. II Abstract In 2004, annual Australian viewership of Australian cinema, regularly averaging below 5%, reached an all-time low of 1.3%. Considering Australia ranks among the top nations in both screens and cinema attendance per capita, and that Australians’ biggest cultural consumption is screen products and multi-media equipment, suggests that Australians love cinema, but refrain from watching their own. Why? During its golden period, 1970-1988, Australian cinema was operating under combined private and government investment, and responsible for critical and commercial successes. However, over the past thirty years, 1988-2018, due to the detrimental role of government film agencies played in binding Australian cinema to government funding, Australian films are perceived as under-developed, low budget, and depressing. Out of hundreds of films produced, and investment of billions of dollars, only a dozen managed to recoup their budget. The thesis demonstrates how ‘Australian national cinema’ discourse helped funding bodies consolidate their power. Australian filmmaking is defined by three ongoing and unresolved frictions: one external and two internal. Friction I debates Australian cinema vs. Australian audience, rejecting Australian cinema’s output, resulting in Frictions II and III, which respectively debate two industry questions: what content is produced? arthouse vs.

For 30 years he has ruled the world of retail fashion – bringing the high street to the catwalk and the catwalk to the high street – but after a damaging public inquiry, his image is tarnished. To save his reputation, he decides to bounce back with a highly publicized and extravagant party celebrating his 60th birthday on the Greek island of Mykonos. A satire on the grotesque inequality of wealth in the fashion industry, the film sees McCreadie’s rise and fall through the eyes of his biographer, Nick (David Mitchell).

  • The Cinema of Michael Winterbottom, Deborah Allison (2013) Plymouth: Lexington, 224 Pp., ISBN: 798-0-7391-2583-0 (Pbk)
    The Cinema of Michael Winterbottom, Deborah Allison (2013) Plymouth: Lexington, 224 pp., ISBN: 798-0-7391-2583-0 (pbk) About half-way through The Cinema of Michael Winterbottom, Deborah Allison cites Annette Kuhn’s observation that it is both more interesting and more important to discuss what film genres do than what they are (116). As part of the Genre Film Auteurs series, one of the principle objectives of Allison’s book is to investigate what it is that genre does in the work of Michael Winterbottom, one of the most extraordinarily prolific and controversial of contemporary British filmmakers. Thus, in each of the book’s eight chapters, Allison sets out to use genre as a ‘as a critical tool’ (x), focusing her attention on one of the director’s films and the variety of ways in which its dominant genre identity is constructed, inflected and, more often than not, inverted. In this way, despite a focus that is narrower than some auteur studies, Allison successfully unearths a variety of themes and characteristics that run throughout Winterbottom’s eclectic oeuvre. After a brief introduction setting out these objectives and their parameters, the first chapter begins with an investigation of Butterly Kiss (1995) and its relationship to the road movie. This is the earliest film discussed in the fifteen years of Winterbottom’s output covered in the book, and Allison’s discussion of it provides a useful foundation for the other chapters. Indeed, each chapter follows a broadly similar framework, beginning with a short plot synopsis before exploring each film in relation to its respective genre/s, discussing the ways in which the films draw on and challenge established genre codes and convention.

  • Extreme Cinema
    EXTREME CINEMA ‘THIS IS AN EXCITING AND TIMELY BOOK. THROUGH IN-DEPTH FILM ANALYSIS, CLEVER REFORMULATION OF TRANSNATIONAL VISUAL CULTURE, AND SIMULTANEOUS ATTENTION TO FORM AND AFFECT, KERNER AND KNAPP OPEN UP OUR WORLD TO THE INTENSIVE CAPACITIES OF WHAT THEY JUDICIOUSLY CALL THE “VIEWING BODIES OF EXTREME CINEMA”.’ Tarek Elhaik, University of California, Davis Extreme Cinema examines the highly stylized treatment of sex and violence in post-millennial transnational cinema, where the governing convention is not the narrative but the spectacle. Using profound experiments in form and composition, including jarring editing, extreme close-ups, visual disorientation, and sounds that straddle the boundary between non-diegetic and diegetic registers, this mode of cinema dwells instead on the exhibition of intense violence and an acute intimacy with the sexual body. Interrogating works such as Wetlands and A Serbian Film, as well as the sub-culture of YouTube ‘reaction videos’, Aaron Michael Kerner and Jonathan L. Knapp demonstrate the way content and form combine in extreme cinema to affectively manipulate the viewing body. Aaron Michael Kerner has taught in the SFSU Cinema Department and Jonathan L. Knapp since 2003. Aaron Michael Kerner Jonathan L. Knapp is a PhD student in Film and Visual Studies at EXTREME Harvard University.

Pornografía y masculinidades Diego Germán Romero Bonilla Tesis presentada como requisito parcial para optar al título de: Magister en Estudios de Género Directora: Nancy Prada Prada Línea de Investigación: Biopolítica y Subjetividades Universidad Nacional de Colombia Facultad de Ciencias Humanas, Escuela de Estudios de Género Bogotá, Colombia 2014 En este momento me llama la atención aquella frase en la que Roberto Bolaño compara la literatura con una pelea de samuráis. Bolaño afirma que un samurái nunca pelea contra otro samurái, más bien, pelea contra un monstruo, sabiendo de antemano que va a ser derrotado. Sin embargo, con esa certeza le hace frente, decide salir y pelear. Aunque esto no trata de literatura, reconozco que enfrentarme a la maestría, y en especial a la tesis, no dejó de recordarme constantemente la metáfora de Bolaño. Todos estos años de estudio fueron una pelea de la que desde en principio no supe si iba a salir completo, cuerdo, satisfecho. Simplemente decidí hacerlo, guiado por la única certeza que algo habría de suceder y que habría que seguir, emprendiendo este combate epistémico cargado de todo tipo de peripecias, desde el desempleo extremo hasta el déficit de tiempo por exceso de trabajo, desde la más generosa y desbordada creatividad hasta el hastío y la desidia. Sin embargo el combate de una tesis no se desarrolla ni se gana por sí solo, a lo largo de su extensa duración se acercaron muchos otros samuráis quienes me colaboraron, cada quien a su manera y desde sus posibilidades, para que pudiese asumir este reto.
