Celluloid Breakfast: June 2011

http://celluloidbreakfast.blogspot.com/2011_06_01_archive.html

Wednesday, 8 June 2011. A group of cattle is herded around an enclosure in relative silence, until the familiar rambling of a rodeo announcer intrudes upon the scene. This relationship between man and animal is enforced repeatedly throughout legendary documentarian Frederick Wiseman’s study of packing plants, Meat. Posted by micmac●. Saturday, 4 June 2011.

Celluloid Breakfast: March 2011

http://celluloidbreakfast.blogspot.com/2011_03_01_archive.html

Wednesday, 30 March 2011. Another period of stagnation for this blog I'm afraid - a lot of work going on with uni and almost no time to watch films! Celluloid Breakfast should hopefully be back in business by the end of May, so stick around for then! Posted by micmac●. Sunday, 6 March 2011. ENDHIRAN (INDIA/2010/S. SHANKAR). A modern twist on the Pygmalion story, Endhiran. A huge success at the box office, grossing more than any other Indian film ever, Endhiran. Posted by micmac●. View my complete profile.

Celluloid Breakfast: August 2011

http://celluloidbreakfast.blogspot.com/2011_08_01_archive.html

Sunday, 28 August 2011. BLIND SHAFT (CHINA/2003/LI YANG). Buoyed by strong performances and subtly intrusive sound design (see the opening five minutes for a fine example), Blind Shaft. May be reductive, but both directors work towards the similar goal of offering an unabashed insight into the ‘real’ China, and as such one could never overstate the importance of Blind Shaft.
