Curtsies and Hand Grenades: Female Filmmaker Project: SuperDyke (Barbara Hammer, 1975)

http://curtsiesandhandgrenades.blogspot.com/2015/06/female-filmmaker-project-superdyke.html

Curtsies and Hand Grenades. Sunday, June 21, 2015. Female Filmmaker Project: SuperDyke (Barbara Hammer, 1975). If Themyscria is a supposed feminine ideal and a place of paradise for Amazonian Women in Wonder Woman. Then Barbara Hammer's movies seek out to create Themyscria for lesbians within her cinema. SuperDyke. Hammer keeps the filmmaking interesting as well, and it'd have been easy for her to go back to the quick cutting and dissolve heavy imagery of her previous shorts Dyketactics. Progress Never S...

Angry Indian Goddesses (Pan Nalin, India, 2015). Visaranai (Vetrimaaran, India, 2015) →. Dilwale (Rohit Shetty, India, 2015). December 18, 2015. Unlike most folks I know, I think Rohit Shetty is occasionally capable of inspired silliness. In. For example, he didn’t merely stop at the fact that he’s remaking Hrishikesh Mukherjee’s. He has one character in his film watch a scene from. At least on paper,. But Shetty does absolutely nothing with the idea. Shetty’s fascination with cars is also common kno...

Curtsies and Hand Grenades: Female Filmmaker Project: Tank Girl (Rachel Talalay, 1995)

http://curtsiesandhandgrenades.blogspot.com/2015/07/female-filmmaker-project-tank-girl.html

Curtsies and Hand Grenades. Tuesday, July 21, 2015. Female Filmmaker Project: Tank Girl (Rachel Talalay, 1995). Rachel Talalay wanted to make an action picture. That was like nothing else currently on the market. She was fed up with the idea of female action heroes whose characteristics were identical to that of men, but transferred to a female body. She loved the Tank Girl. But this is Tank Girl. Is at it's very best when it is loosely jamming many different parts of cinema (comic book animation, dance ...

Curtsies and Hand Grenades. Thursday, August 27, 2015. Queerness and Corn: Tom at the Farm (Xavier Dolan, 2014). The two images above offer a snapshot of the stylistic differences one can come to expect from Xavier Dolan's attempt at stripping down his aesthetics to suit the text surrounding his queer thriller, Tom at the Farm. But when that is inverted into a chorus of maybes and almosts as it is here it feels like a betrayal. Perhaps, that is the ultimate point of Tom at the Farm. And why the eventual ...

Curtsies and Hand Grenades. Saturday, October 25, 2014. True Trans: In Celebration of Transgender and Gender Variant People. One woman sits in an abandoned studio strumming gently on a guitar. She wears black clothing, her nail polished is a little chipped, and her hair obscures her face, She isn't singing, but these sounds emitting from her guitar provide background for a chorus of voices that were muted in a past life. The chorus of voices is what makes Laura Jane Grace's True Trans. Film Write Up #2.

Curtsies and Hand Grenades. Saturday, May 30, 2015. Female Filmmaker Project: Girlhood (Celine Sciamma, 2014). Is then a misleading title as Bande de Filles. Turns into the story of Vic, but it was always only about her, even with diamonds by her side through much of it. For similar instances of Adolescent Crime), and it's refreshing to see Sciamma giver Vic the space to explore her age and her choices. More cinema like this should exist ,. Will be the first in a trend instead of an outlier in a sea of a...
