Dialogic Cinephilia - January 15, 2018




No matter how commodified and domesticated the fantastic in its various forms might be, we need fantasy to think the world, and to change it. — China Miéville, "Thinking Weirdly with China Miéville." (January 13, 2018)

Benton, Michael. "Recommended Films of 1971." Letterboxd (Ongoing List)

Bursztynski, Maurice, Wendi Freeman and Tim Merrill. "Hated:GG Allin and The Murder Junkies." See Hear #1 (January 14, 2014) ["No gentle start for the team as they discuss the Todd Phillips documentary about notorious punk rock singer GG Allin. The film is not for the faint of heart (and our language may reflect the content discussed), but it is a fascinating look at a man who truly knew no boundaries in they way he lived his life. He is held in equal contempt and admiration by the public and ex-band members."]

Danticat, Edwidge, et al. "Climate Change & The End of Eden." Open Source (September 28, 2017)

Fischer, Robert, Jaimey Fisher and Christian Petzold. "The Cinema is a Warehouse of Memory: A Conversation." Senses of Cinema #84 (September 2017)

Things get gruesome quickly as the two of them discuss the 2015 horror-western, Bone Tomahawk. April and Emily examine what makes the movie so good; the insane violence, the heartbreaking monologues, the beautiful cinematography. Plus, Emily talks about the making of The Big Sick and how she uses her psychology background in her writing."]

Kelly, Kathy. "Forty-One Hearts are Still Beating in Guantanamo." The Progressive (January 11, 2018)

Lodge, Guy. "How female vengeance powers Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri." The Guardian (November 8, 2017) ["Frances McDormand’s foul-mouthed small-town woman fighting male abuse is set to become Oscar season’s unwittingly topical heroine for a world waking up to misogyny."]
