“We’ve met before, haven’t we?” A mesmerizing meditation on the mysterious nature of identity, Lost Highway, David Lynch’s seventh feature film, is one of the filmmaker’s most potent cinematic dreamscapes. Starring Patricia Arquette and Bill Pullman, the film expands the horizons of the medium, taking its audience on a journey through the unknown and the unknowable. As this postmodern noir detours into the realm of science fiction, it becomes apparent that the only certainty is uncertainty.Read More »

The Pig, was shot in one blustery day on a small French farm in the Massif Central. Two separate camera and sound crews carefully recorded the slaughtering, dismemberment, and evisceration of a pig and its subsequent conversion into sausages. Eustache, perhaps more than any other French filmmaker, made it his business to get as much of French culture down on film as he could, and here he records a practice that has all but vanished in the face of industrialization. One of Eustache’s most beautiful films, the work is also notable for its vivid sound track, alive with the thick, unintelligible patois of the farm workers.Read More »

This is a SERIOUS BBC documentary about tourettes syndrome that went on to become a cult-classic comedy, though you do feel guilty about laughing afterwards. This film follows around 16 year old John Davidson who suffers from full blown tourettes. Having self diagnosed myself as having a mild case of tourettes in my pre adolescent days i can completely empathize with poor John. Tourettes is basically overwhelming obssessive compulsions that are either vulgar and or odd little sounds shrieks etc, as you will see. In John’s case its yelling profanities at the top of his lungs at the oddest and most humourously entertaining times, yelping like a dog, spitting in peoples faces and blurting out every irrational and downright rude thought that enters his mind. My personal favourite is when he yells “mom your a slut” in the grocery store in front of an old lady. I found this HYSTERICAL…but at the same time i felt his pain and almost felt as if i should give into the compulsions as John does. This is great as both a documentary and for a good laugh.Read More »
