Stefan Pape is a freelance film critic and interviewer who has dreams of making a movie of his own one day. He adores cinema, eats lots of unhealthy food, and is absolutely terrible at cryptic clue crosswords.
If possible, it’s important to distance yourself from the original F. Scott Fitzgerald novel of which this Baz Luhrmann adaptation of The Great Gatsby is based upon, as although naturally sharing the same narrative as the 1925 masterpiece, comparisons are somewhat futile, as this is so much more a lavish, typically grandiose Luhrmann production, than [...]
Austrian filmmaker Stefan Ruzowitzky – the director behind the Academy Award winning The Counterfeiters, returns with his first proper Hollywood film (well, that’s if you discount the rather obscure Matt LeBlanc and Eddie Izzard feature All the Queen’s Men) with his tense and riotously entertaining thriller Deadfall. A film that, although certainly flawed, has enough [...]
Coming to our attentions with the absorbing psychological drama Take Shelter, director Jeff Nichols now returns with his latest picture, this time depicting first love and relationships through the eyes of a teenage boy. In what is a truly inspiring piece of cinema, we had the good fortune of sitting down with Jeff to discuss his latest [...]
In what is undoubtedly one of our favourite films this year so far, A Hijacking marks yet another wonderful film to come out of Denmark, and we had the pleasure of speaking to the director Tobias Lindholm ahead of the film’s release. Lindholm, who also wrote The Hunt, last year – is the second person [...]
Having picked up the Academy Award for Best Foreign Language Film in 2008 with The Counterfeiters, Austrian filmmaker Stefan Ruzowitzky now returns with his first ever Hollywood production, assembling an all-star cast for his crime thriller Deadfall. Starring the likes of Eric Bana and Olivia Wilde, Ruzowitzky discusses his pride at directing such talented performers, [...]
While The Eye of the Storm is currently playing in cinemas across Britain, we were fortunate enough to speak to the renowned Australian filmmaker behind the adaptation of Frank White’s eponymous Nobel prize winning novel – catching up with Fred Schepisi, to discuss the pressure of taking on such a project, working with Geoffrey Rush, [...]
Before stepping into the room with Danish actor Pilou Asbæk to discuss his latest feature A Hijacking, we were fortunate enough to be sat in the waiting room with the talented performer, as he recounts tales from his career, and a couple of rather funny Lars von Trier related anecdotes. Such an enthusiasm then continued on into [...]
What with the recent Evil Dead and Maniac adaptations, it seems that horror remakes are all the range at present, and now the conspicuously named Makinov has offered his own take on the 1976 Spanish feature Who Can Kill a Child? Though the filmmakers very own mysterious presence is even more chilling than the film [...]
It seems somewhat fitting that one of the hottest days this year marks the release of All Stars – an inherently uplifting production about two kids who form a dancing troupe with the aim of winning a talent contest, and saving their local youth centre, and we were fortunate enough to sit down with the [...]
Sometimes when you walk into a room to interview the talent from a movie, you feel underdressed somewhat, or at times, even rather uncool. Well, never has that feeling felt so prominent, upon walking in to interview the lead roles of Ben Gregor’s All Stars Theo Stevenson and Akai Osei-Mansfield, who with their suave hair do’s [...]
Following on from his emotional teenage drama Soul Surfer, director Sean McNamara returns to a more infantile approach, as the director of successful kids’ TV shows That’s So Raven and Even Stevens now presents Robosapien, a film that is reminiscent of children’s films such as Agent Cody Banks. And yes, I have seen Agent Cody [...]
The eponymous Patrick White novel of which The Eye of the Storm is based upon, won the Nobel Prize in 1973, and has since been considered ‘unfilmable’. However such a myth has been dispelled somewhat, as Fred Schepisi’s first feature for close to a decade makes for a delectable visual experience, enhanced by a provocative [...]
Coming from the creative minds of The Hangover writers Jon Lucas and Scott Moore, 21 and Over opens with a lingering shot of two men, casually strolling through the neighbourhood with no clothes on, only a mere sock to protect their dignity. With red marks on their body and scars from the night before – [...]
Part family drama, part romantic comedy, part Hollywood satire – there is much to be admired by Lake Bell’s directorial debut In a World…, as the actress has taken a leaf out of Lena Dunham’s book, in writing, directing and starring in a feature that signals a continuing shift in fortunes for female comedy writers, [...]
Following on from the impressive critical success of Gareth Evans’ profitable Indonesian action thriller The Raid, it appears that travelling to Southeast Asia to make movies is a rather wise move for British filmmakers at present, as Sean Ellis’ Philippines set Metro Manila is a striking piece of cinema, as a powerful tale of family [...]
Although cinephiles across the globe are currently preparing themselves for the glitz and glamour of the forthcoming Cannes Film Festival, we still haven’t worked our way through the features ‘In Competition’ from last years’ event yet, one of which is the emotionally charged World War Two drama In the Fog, as Belarusian filmmaker Sergei Loznitsa’s [...]
The ABCs of death is a somewhat difficult film to critically analyse, as it’s made up of 26 different films by separate directors, linked only by the theme of death. The most straight-forward and legitimate way to therefore examine this picture, is to go on the ratio of good movies compared to the rather forgettable [...]
Fans of Shane Carruth’s directorial debut Primer – a low budget sci-fi flick that not only earned the filmmaker the Grand Jury Prize at Sundance Film Festival, but a reverent cult following – have had to wait patiently for nine years to finally witness the talented director’s return, with his sophomore feature Upstream Color finally [...]
Fede Alvarez certainly had his fair share of skeptics ahead of his decision to direct Evil Dead – the remake of the original Sam Raimi cult classic from 1981. However having been greeted to a series of positive reviews, it seems such a decision has since proven to be a justified one, and we were [...]
Most actors and actresses say nothing but nice things about their movie when doing the promotional tour, speaking positively about their experience of the film they are selling to the viewer. Not Jane Levy, who runs through everything that made her time working on Evil Dead a living nightmare. In the best way possible, of [...]
