" DIRECTED BY ... "FEBRUARY 2011, NOW ON SALE

As it was in news pictures, the new version of Grit (True Grit, 2010), Joel and Ethan Coen, is one of the No. issues cover. 408 of Directed by ... with The Fighter (idem, 2010), David O. Russell, probably utter me about these movies on this blog shortly. The magazine also includes the second part of the dossier dedicated to black film rarities, which I have contributed outlining four titles:


Who killed Vicky? (I Wake Up Screaming, 1941), H. Bruce Humberstone, " production of 20th Century-Fox written by Dwight Taylor from a novel by Steve Fisher also wrote the screenplay, and" hooked "from the first sequence thanks to the excellent balance between the plot of the script, the splendid work performers (especially the secondary) and the evocative black and white lighting operator Cronjager Edward is very characteristic of black film from Fox this time. "



Love kills (Possesed, 1947), Curtis Bernhardt, a film that " proposes an intricate and very modern narrative structure of jumps in time that calls into question the intricacies of the story and the motivations of the characters themselves, clothed in a deep ambiguity. There are many great moments that review of this rare masterpiece discover urgently. "

Backfire (1950), Vincent Sherman, "a sort of distant precedent for this movie as practiced today is confusing situations and personalities on mystery so dear to Christopher Nolan, for instance, and that within the police film in general and black theater in particular, has two such illustrious exponents signed by the great and unjustly forgotten filmmaker who was Otto Preminger, "Laura" (ibid., 1944) and especially the extraordinary "The Rape of Bunny Lake" (Bunny Lake Is Missing, 1965) . "

My contribution to this issue is completed with three reviews, two of them as many movies as I understand exceptional (the third is Neon Meat (2010), a film by Paco Cabezas which I will simply note here ... it is Paco Cabezas). The first to which I refer in particular is a film by Alain Cavalier who knows premiere in Spain over twenty-five years after its creation: Thérèse (idem, 1986): " can not but be pleased that a film the quality of "Thérèse" is finally available to the English spectator who still likes to watch movies on the screen of a cinema (some will be ...), given that we are dealing with a masterpiece and, without doubt one of the greatest films in cinema legacies European eighties. "


The second, a wonderful documentary of another, until now, the great unknown in English cinemas, Frederick Wiseman, entitled Dance - Ballet of the Paris Opera (La danse - Le Ballet de l'Opéra Paris, 2009), "Wiseman throws the look on all this is also someone who, driven by curiosity, comes into this world at the same time everyday for its members, unknown to the profane, and thus its planning to respond at any time to get that feeling curious, rebound infected you that interest the viewer.
