Animal Kingdom | Shot Through A Window

https://shotthroughawindow.wordpress.com/2011/03/03/animal-kingdom

Shot Through A Window. The Hyde Park Picture House. March 3, 2011. So begins David Michôd striking debut feature,. We are introduced, through the eyes of young ‘J’, to the Codys, a family of feral criminals in suburban Melbourne. They’re a colourful cast of characters bank robbers, drug dealers, drug users constantly at war with the police and each other. Binding them together is the aforementioned Grandma, memorably played by Jackie Weaver with toothy grin and demonic eyes. This entry was posted in Films.

Chocolates and Christmas Markets | Paintpots and Pancakes

https://paintpotsandpancakes.wordpress.com/2014/04/05/chocolates-and-christmas-markets

Big creative ideas on a small budget. Chocolates and Christmas Markets. April 5, 2014. April 2, 2014. Just before Christmas, Jack and I were in Belgium on a short holiday. I had been over in Ghent for business (the exciting life of a composer), so Jack joined me for a long weekend after my course finished. We spent a couple of days meandering around Bruges, enjoying all of it’s beautiful architecture, and the crisp winter air, before returning home to the manic pre-Christmas rush.

My ten favourite films of 2011 | Shot Through A Window

https://shotthroughawindow.wordpress.com/2011/12/30/my-ten-favourite-films-of-2011

Shot Through A Window. The Artist →. My ten favourite films of 2011. December 30, 2011. So here they are. In all but two cases, I also had some thoughts at the time click on the titles for those. Happy new year. Joanna Hogg’s exquisitely observed study of a family on holiday in the Scilly Isles is both gloriously witty and completely horrifying. A perfect film. A brilliantly stylish, properly disturbing horror film with superb sound design and an ending that simply went for it. Thrilling stuff. Stylishly...

Time | Shot Through A Window

https://shotthroughawindow.wordpress.com/2011/09/02/time

Shot Through A Window. Kill List →. September 2, 2011. I recently discovered that in 1986, Andrei Tarkovsky wrote this:. I think that what a person normally goes to the cinema for is time: for time lost or spent or not yet had. He goes there for living experience; for cinema, like no other art, widens, enhances and concentrates a person’s experience and not only enhances it but makes it longer, significantly longer. Provide a pleasing respite, giving your eyes time to see and your brain time to process a...

The Artist | Shot Through A Window

https://shotthroughawindow.wordpress.com/2012/01/11/the-artist

Shot Through A Window. My ten favourite films of 2011. January 11, 2012. Everything about Michael Haznavicius’. But if this is film which as many critics would have it is supposed to be celebrating a bygone era, or lamenting a purity lost. Not, if anything, about what was lost, but about the excitement of a moment in history. Film was now able to transfix us further, adding nuance and complexity beyond the limit of an orchestral score throughout. In fact, as it happens, I don’t think. Is nearly weighty e...

Cave of Forgotten Dreams | Shot Through A Window

https://shotthroughawindow.wordpress.com/2011/03/25/cave-of-forgotten-dreams

Shot Through A Window. Christian Marclay’s ‘The Clock’. Cave of Forgotten Dreams. March 25, 2011. That voice of Herzog’s heavily accented, articulate, affecting has become a trademark presence in his recent documentaries. So conspicuously authored, they are of course as much about Herzog the filmmaker as they are the subject in. This entry was posted in Films. Christian Marclay’s ‘The Clock’. Cave of Forgotten Dreams. March 25, 2011 at 12:55 am. I would argue it’s not long enough. Have been searching age...
