The Raspberry Reich/Bruce LaBruce


REVIEW: "In Bruce LaBruce's The Raspberry Reich, a small band of left-wing terrorists in contemporary Berlin have incorporated the radicalized student generation of the '60s that Godard made movies about, "the children of Marx and Coca-Cola" as he put it, into their romanticized pop politics right alongside Che."

Mothlight/Stan Brakhage

REVIEW: "Mothlight acknowledges the limitations of the screen, the way film traps subject matter in a box, suffocating the life out of it."

    La Chambre/Chantal Akerman


    WIKI: "Chantal Akerman (born June 6, 1950) is a Belgian film director and artist. Her grand-parents and her mother were sent to Auschwitz, but only her mother came back. This is a very important factor in her personal experience and her mother's anxiety is a recurrent theme in her filmography. Renowned for a "hyperrealist" style, Akerman's work seeks to inscribe the "images between the images." Akerman's most famous film Jeanne Dielman, 23 Quai du Commerce, 1080 Bruxelles (1975) exemplifies a dedication to the "ellipses of conventional narrative cinema."
