Preview: Filmic, A Festival of Film & Music
The Watershed and St George’s in Bristol explore the link between music and film in a two month season of events they’re calling Filmic.
Film: Coriolanus
You may have noticed that Coriolanus has the word ‘anus’ in it. Ralph Fiennes has not noticed this. The very last thing Ralph Fiennes wants you to think is that he has a sense of humour, and just to prove it he’s made the stultifying dour-a-thon that is Coriolanus.
New Release: Steve McQueen’s Shame
A look at Hunger director Steve McQueen’s second feature, Shame.
5 Best/Worst Films of 2011
A quick look back over 2011′s best and worst cinematic offerings
Film: The Artist
The Artists is a massively overhyped silent film by Michael Hazanavicius
Film: Take Shelter
The first time I saw Take Shelter was in the same week that Congress voted through the Budget Control Act that raised the national debt ceiling; triggering the largest one-day increase in debt ($268bn) that America has ever seen, and following which the country’s credit rating was downgraded for the first time in its history.
FILM: Weekend
If rumour is to be believed, the FBI are currently spending their time getting pre-emptively flustered about Clint Eastwood’s forthcoming biopic of J. Edgar Hoover, and the extent to which screenwriter Dustin Lance Black (who penned Milk) has played up the shady former intelligence chief’s alleged closet homosexuality.
Herbert Mcluhan and Technological Determinism: A Reappraisal
This year marks the centenary of the birth of pioneering and often divisive media theorist Herbert Marshall Mcluhan, and to celebrate The Watershed in Bristol is hosting a season of seminars and films relating to his work. With the contemporary rise of social media, the time is ripe for a reassessment of Mcluhan’s theories about how media technology shapes our existence.
Fortune’s Fool…The Backstory.
Hiatus and Shura have been going from strength to strength producing soulful, melancholic music mixed with heavy basslines. Their tunes have been constantly spun on the Mint turntables…In an exclusive for Mint and in his own words, Hiatus shows us the story behind the Fortune’s Fool video.
Film: Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy
John le Carré’s real name is David Cornwell, and he lives in Cornwall, just down the road from my dad. We even have his old phone number. A celebrated scribe of ripping good yarns he may be, but Cornwell obviously felt it necessary to spice up his ordinary-sounding moniker with a little continental twang, maybe so he wouldn’t sound like just some normal English bloke.
