Why the Color Red Carries so Much Weight in Film and Literature

Not long into Act Two of Macbeth, husband and wife become obsessed with color. Lady Macbeth, who examines her hands with the tireless diligence of an obsessive-compulsive, is seen scrubbing away for up to 15 minutes at a time. Her husband is less convinced by the merits of washing. "No," he laments, "my hand will rather the multitudinous seas in incarnadine, making the green one red." This stubborn and potentially oceanic stain is, of course, blood, which originally belonged to the King of Fi...

Lau Kar-leung - 8 Diagram Pole Fighter - The

In the formidable stable of action directors who Shaw Brothers Studio employed throughout the 1970s and ‘80s, perhaps the greatest was Lau Kar-leung. Having previously established himself as the studio’s finest martial arts choreographer, Lau began to helm features in the mid-‘70s and produced a string of classics, most notably the wuxia staple 36th Chamber of Shaolin, that blended complex choreography, bullishly confronted themes, and antic comedy. His penultimate film for the studio, 1984’s...

Framing Agnes (Chase Joynt, 2022) Reenactment has seen an exciting resurgence in nonfiction cinema in the last decade or so.

Atlanta Season 3 Arrives Assured and Self-referential

Hulu/Ringer illustration The opening episodes of the FX hit’s third season quite literally take the show to new places. Yet they also show how ‘Atlanta’ is now mature enough to start revisiting familiar themes. Atlanta has always felt like the future, so it’s a striking mark of time’s passage that it already feels like a throwback. Donald Glover’s ambitious, surreal, unpredictable half-hour returns on Thursday after nearly four years off the air. In that time, hardly anyone invo...

Revisiting Andrei Tarkovsky's Cinematic Icon Solaris

Happy 50th anniversary to Solaris! And happy 20th anniversary to Solaris! Thanks to Tarkovsky’s version in 1972, and Steven Soderbergh’s in 2002, we all owe Solaris a set of fine china and something gold. I’ve been thinking about what to say here. And. Look, it feels stupid to be writing about movies right now. Non-essential. But writing about this particular movie, a Russian classic about guilt, remorse, love conquering death, maybe, the desperate need for human connection in the face ...

A Hybrid Academy Awards Ceremony Will Be a Disaster for Genre Film - Gizmodo Australia

Screwball Comedy - history

The Notebook Primer introduces readers to some of the most important figures, films, genres, and movements in film history. Twentieth Century A common misconception about 1930s Hollywood cinema is that escapism was the trend du jour. The ubiquity of genres like historical melodramas and musicals indicates that rationale may be true to an extent, but even the most fantastic films were grounded in some semblance of social realism. And how could they not be? With ...

Matrix - The - as a transgender allegory

Flinging 21st-century action films into total chaos, the 1999 science fiction film The Matrix suggested a new era for the genre of gun-slinging, action hero cinema with a brand new way of approaching filmmaking from both a narrative and technological level. Though, perhaps more than its legacy as an action film, The Matrix should be more widely recognised for its confirmed transgender allegory.  When The Matrix was released in 1999, sisters Lana and Lilly Wachowski publicly identified as...
