The Sandpit: Sam O’Hare [2010]

March 9, 2010 by Le Fist

Double take_ A friend sent me the link to Sam O’hare’s short film, The Sandpit. At first I thought I was viewing an incredibly realised model reproduction of New York. And then the penny dropped. This was New York – real, pulsing, alive. 35,000 photographic stills were taken to create the film which records the events of a day in the city from a bird’s eye view. A labour of love if there ever was one. There’s something about the […]

Fedora: directed by Billy Wilder (1978)

February 6, 2010 by Le Fist

A famous Hollywood actress that never seems to age commits suicide by jumping in front of a train. Plastic surgery. Illusion. Disillusion. Ill-fated love…What’s there not to love about Fedora? Brilliantly camp. Remember watching this with a hot cup of cocoa in my PJs, aged 9 – no wonder I turned out the way I did! She bears a striking resemblance to the Lady You Should Know from the previous post, no? They don’t make ‘em like they used to…

Soft Core: Sylvia Kristel – Emmanuelle

January 16, 2010 by Le Fist

Emmanuelle_ I remember the scandal this caused, being a child of the 70s. Never got to see any of the films until I was much older, of course. Soft focus erotica… Softly sweet. Soft. Kind of feeling this. Not sure how it’ll translate or what it all means yet but its a different kind of sexiness. More sensual. A knowing innocence, if that make sense. Nothing hard and graphic. Just soft…

Gomorrah (2008) – Matteo Garrone

November 4, 2009 by Le Fist

I’ve been to Naples a few times and it is one of my favourite places in Italy. There really is no other place like it. Taking a taxi is taking your life into your own hands! There’s an amazing market on the outskirts that many fashion houses and vintage store-owners go to get their fix. Everything’s piled high and you’ve got to dig deep. Found the most beautiful sun-bleached nappa blouson there. However, you’re warned to leave the moment the […]

Seeing Red

August 31, 2009 by Le Fist

Last night I saw the new Almodovar at the Rio Cinema in Dalston. Its probably the most apt space to view an Almodovar – the velvet chairs, vagueishly art deco interior, the layers of dust, the faint hint of cigarette smoke – all reminders of a bygone era. Recently, I’ve made it a principle to not read a review of a film until I have seen it. Perhaps a risky move but I prefer to form my own opinions. Incidentally, […]

Women in Love Part 1

August 29, 2009 by Le Fist

“We make our own choices…and we pay our own prices”. Saw this recently for the first time in ages and remembered how good it was! Gina Gershon’s bitchin’ and Jennifer Tilly’s just smouldering. Nicely shot film, especially the bit at the end when Corky shoots her gangster boy-fiend and crimson droplets fall onto the spilled white paint on the floor, marking it like a new Jackson Pollock painting. Femme fatale meets James Dean, very Dolce, no?
