The Devils
This 1971 entry from the controversial British film director Ken Russell is an intense, visual experience and as with most of his “biographical” films, the actual facts and history get a liberal dose of interpretation, heightening and twisting the original, key elements into an over-the-top, spectacle of a story.
A Zed & Two Noughts
Drama, black comedy, art film or body horror? Or a bit of each? Greenaway’s second major film A Zed & Two Noughts is possibly the most abstract of the bunch from this period and not without a lot of lush visual detail.
Liquid Sky (DVD Re-issue)
What brought me to giving Liquid Sky an entry here is the chance to finally watched likely how the film was intended, on a high-quality, restored version.
Céline and Julie Go Boating
A film in the classic French surrealist style, Céline and Julie Go Boating is a long, strange and magical film about two friends who find a strange way to enter a strange, cyclical dream-like world.
The Saddest Music In The World
A very stylised film by Guy Maddin, the look of The Cabinet of Doctor Caligari and the inside of snowglobe with a bit of black humour in there as well.
Bunker Palace Hôtel
This is the first film by Enki Bilal, a French-Serbian graphic novelist whole directed only three or four films over the course of 25 years.
