Contact: The Sci-Fi Movie About Finding Faith - Collider
The Pentagon is finally acknowledging the existence of "unidentified aerial phenomena," and China recently reported one of its radio telescopes may have picked up signals from a galaxy far, far away. In 1987, astronomer Carl Sagan wrote Contact, a novel about how the world might react to a similar situation, and in July 1997, Robert Zemeckis' adaption of Sagan's novel hit the big screen. While not an atheist, Sagan repeatedly stressed that he saw no evidence for the existence of God...

Terrors of the Flesh - The Philosophy of Body Horror in Film
In Terrors of the Flesh: The Philosophy of Body Horror in Film, David Huckvale traces body horror in cinema back to the writings of the Marquis de Sade, who states that a human takes pleasure and suffers pain only by means of the senses or the organs of the body (p. 1). Such a corporeal philosophy, Huckvale continues, strongly anticipates Friedrich Nietzsche, who was eager to have a positive attitude towards life despite its horrors. This book, then, aims to explore the profound anxieties we ...
Self Portrait in Green
Anyone approaching Marie Ndiaye’s Self Portrait in Green (translated by Jordan Stump in 2014 and now released in the UK by Influx Press) expecting straight-forward autobiography will be, at the very least, disconcerted – a not uncommon occurrence when it comes to her writing in general.

As the City of Angels rises out of the desert and pans into view during the opening sequence of the Coen brothers’ masterpiece The Big Lebowski, we hear a conversational ode of sorts to ‘The Dude’. Within that opening stanza, in tones incongruous with the gaudy glow of the desert metropolis, Sam Elliot’s timeless timbre drawls out the following: "Sometimes there’s a man, well, he’s the man for his time and place, he fits right in there." Throughout their career the oddball brothers of ...
