    Sex, drugs and amoebic dysentery: the 20 best making-of documentaries – ranked! - AOL (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Behind-the-scenes footage from Dawn of the Dead is the highlight of this aficionados-only affair, which follows the 1979 satirical zombie horror all the way through to distribution. Director George A Romero, makeup maestro Tom Savini and the occasional zombie actor shoot the breeze in the deserted shopping mall that provides the movie with its incongruous central location. Imagining what might have been if Tim Burton’s Superman Lives had got off the ground, documentary maker Jon Schnepp cosies u

    ‘We could have had good fun a few decades ago’: Christine Baranski and Richard E Grant on sex scenes, parties and theatre - AOL (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Positive tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Richard E Grant: Despite our vast combined vintage, our paths have never crossed before, have they? Christine Baranski: Regrettably not. We could have had some good fun a few decades ago. A girl could have got into some real trouble. But here we are, and now we’re the veterans. You’re among the great character actors, popping up delightfully in so many things and always being spot-on. REG: My late wife said I’m in the condiment years, where you’re added to the meal in these cameo roles like vine

    ‘It is the riskiest film I’ve ever made’: Pedro Almodóvar on being the villain in his own movie - AOL (opens the original)

    Excerpt · English

    Read excerpt

    Black sunglasses indoors and a tufty cloud of cotton-wool hair: it can only be Pedro Almodóvar, bourgeois arthouse darling nonpareil and master of everything from screwball romps (Women on the Verge of a Nervous Breakdown) to clammy thrillers (Live Flesh, The Skin I Live In) – and sumptuous melodramas such as his 24th film, Bitter Christmas, a cautionary tale about the perils of autofiction. We are sitting in the library of a London hotel and Almodóvar is dressed in a thin black windcheater, gre

    ‘I love provocative stories’: producer Christine Vachon on fighting for her ‘offensive’ movies - AOL (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Neutral tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Trailblazing producer Christine Vachon bestrides the world of US independent film-making like a colossus. She has championed idiosyncratic American cinema for more than 35 years, scoring hits such as the romcom Materialists, which starred three superhero actors (Dakota Johnson, Pedro Pascal, Chris Evans) and grossed $108m, alongside curiosities such as Zola, a strippers’ road-trip comedy based on a string of viral tweets. Vachon got her start in the early 1990s. Her often scandalous movies – fro

    ‘James Dean has got nothing on that kid’: River Phoenix films – ranked! - AOL (opens the original)

    Excerpt · Critical tone · English

    Read excerpt

    Issue-of-the-week TV movie about elder abuse, with Tuesday Weld as a harried mum taking out her frustrations on her own ageing mother. Phoenix slaps on the hair gel as the essentially decent son who blasts his music too loud, lets his rowdy if unusually spiffy pals put their feet on the furniture and resents the new house guest: “Grandma is really getting on my nerves!” Sam Shepard’s turgid western premiered at Sundance in early 1993, then sat on the shelf for a year. As with his unfinished fina
