REVIEW: Coco Chanel and Igor Stravinsky at the QFT
Friday, September 3rd, 2010
As the closing film for this year’s Cannes Film Festival, ‘Coco Chanel and Igor Stravinsky’ received lots of attention and thankfully lives up to the hype. Anna Mouglalis is a familiar face, the muse of Karl Lagerfield and model of Chanel campaigns, and thus suitably plays Chanel. Based on a novel by a school teacher, this steamy affair finds itself placed just after Audrey Tatou’s memorable performance in ‘Coco Before Chanel’ on the biographical timeline. Two huge artistic icons, of fashion and music, they are a fascinating couple. Their likeminded passions make this film feel like more of an exposé of their lives. It’s a wondrous joy for fans of dark romances and of the pair of characters.

REVIEW: Flickstock at the QFT: The harder they come
Wednesday, August 25th, 2010
If you haven’t been lucky enough to get tickets for this summer’s big festivals then get yourself down to the QFT this week to relive some of the greatest musicians. For the mere price of a cinema ticket you can walk in the shoes of the icons and get your festival fever fix in just a few hours. You’ll leave the screen feeling as uplifted (but not as muddy) as the crowds nationwide.

REVIEW: Gainsbourg
Monday, July 26th, 2010
If the name Serge Gainsbourg doesn’t ring a bell, then you might recognise one of his most famous musical achievements via Jane Birkin’s sensual whisperings, ‘Je t’aime, oh oui, je t’aime’. France’s iconic maverick is brought to the silver screen by graphic novel artist Joann Sfar in a style that is in a word sublime. Bringing to life the innermost workings of the visionary Gainsbourg’s mind and madness, Sfar has created a masterpiece.

REVIEW: Whatever works
Friday, July 9th, 2010
The latest comedy from movie making machine Woody Allen has been quite well anticipated. Those of you familiar with the early Allen masterpieces will have mixed feelings about Whatever Works and needless to say, expectations are equally as uneasy. Set in New York, none other than Allen’s favourite filmic city, this typically dark and off-beat comedy centres on misanthrope Boris Yellnikoff. It is difficult to see how Allen’s claims that he no longer casts himself in his films are true, because in Boris there are all the elements of characters that Allen has previously played.

REVIEW: Samson and Delilah
Monday, May 17th, 2010
Deemed by the Australian press as a film that Australia could be proud of, and winner of the Camera D’Or award at the 2009 Cannes Film Festival, ‘Samson and Delilah’ is a love story told unlike any other. The small world in which the lovers inhabit is suddenly shaken when they are forced outside their comfort zones by their aborigine community. Mistaken as social outsiders, the two youths are confronted with a very foreign environment and their relationship is the building block that keeps them going. Director Warwick Thornton offers a truly original portrayal of young love and the struggle to come to grips with modernity in the midst of tradition.

REVIEW: Four Lions
Thursday, May 6th, 2010
Once in a blue moon a film comes along which has the power to both completely challenge and flip your preconceptions of a subject, remaining in your head long after you leave the cinema. Usually these films are lengthy, epic blockbusters involving a re-telling of a historic event, or on the other hand, serious, tense thrillers, anything really apart from a laugh-out-loud comedy about four idiots living in Doncaster. But then that’s the magic of Four Lions.
