Films I’d Never Seen #7 – Amadeus: The Director’s Cut - Global Comment (opens the original)
Read excerpt
What would happen if you heard the voice of God, but it came through a vessel you considered unworthy? Not merely unworthy, but vulgar, childish and offensively ordinary. Would you fall to your knees before the miracle or become the Devil to slit its throat until the voice gurgled and choked into bloody silence? That is the dreadful question beating beneath Milos Forman’s Amadeus. The Director’s Cut makes the answer darker, crueller and more psychologically convincing. This is not really the sto
“Frantic, claustrophobic tone”: Dark Blue (2002) review - Global Comment (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Kurt Russell’s eyes are wired. Those baby blues are ringed with red, the Disney child paranoid, sweating booze and armed to the teeth. Those jump cuts are making us anxious from the off. We’re back in the early 90s and that Rodney King beating doesn’t get any better with age. Kurt is Sgt Eldon Perry a corrupt foot soldier of the LAPD, one of those hard-nosed racist bastards that so often populate the writing of James Elroy and David Ayer, the West Coast equivalents of Sidney Lumet, “The choke ho
“A thoroughly absorbing three-and-a-half-hour epic”: Game of Thrones: The Mad King review - Global Comment (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Waiting with my daughter in the post-industrial foyer of Royal Shakespeare Theatre in Stratford-Upon-Avon, for Game of Thrones: The Mad King to start I contemplated my own relationship to fandom and our want for every narrative detail to be resolved versus the desire for our own unique version of story completion.

Films I’d Never Seen #6: Tuner - Global Comment (opens the original)
Read excerpt
If you haven’t seen Daniel Roher’s film Tuner, then you need to remedy that quickly. Leo Woodall is Niki White a former New York musical prodigy turned piano tuner who suffers from hyperacusis. Niki must always wear ear protection as loud noises cause him crippling pain; a real downer when you live in the city that never sleeps. Niki is like a son to his aging mentor Harry Horowitz, played by late-stage Dustin Hoffman at his most loveable and heartbreaking best. The opening is terrific as master
“Where does Nolan go from here?”: The Odyssey review - Global Comment (opens the original)
Read excerpt
When we were children, flickered in light and held in thrall to the shuddering genius of Ray Harryhausen’s mythical beasts in Jason and the Argonauts and Clash of the Titans we could only dare to dream what he would have made of the sea monster Scylla, the cannibalistic Laestrygonians, and the Sirens, those muses of death, from Homer’s The Odyssey. Tragically Harryhausen’s vision of The Odyssey never manifested itself in the mortal realm and lingered in our imagination as spectres of what might
