Failure is an option.
Cannes 2012

'A success shaped hole called failure' is a collection of my writing from the internet, as well as my blog and some fiction and what not. It isn't very flashy. In fact it's quite inanimate, despite largely (though not exclusively) dealing with moving pictures.

FeaturesCannes announced the line up. Cosmopolis is there as expected. Here's the full list and my preview. It looks fantastic. The jury was also announced.
Electric Sheep have an issue celebrating the work of the late great Ken Russell to which I have contributed several reviews. Also I have a feature I wrote for Electric Sheep about toilets in film and another one about female action heroes. For Alternate Takes I've written a feature on the coming apocalypse and Capitalism and Cinema. I'm also blogging my way through Stanley Kubrick and Sergio Leone. I have written a new piece for Static Mass Emporium on the 1981 war film Das Boot. |
