Batman
Kenji Fujishima @ The House Next Door
China Gate
Peter Nellhaus @ Coffee Coffee and more Coffee
The Last Day of Summer
Marilyn Ferdinand @ Ferdy on Films
- Excerpt: Winner of 1958 Grand Prix at the International Festival of Documentary and Short Feature Films in Venice, The Last Day of Summer has the brevity of most experimental films, and it creates a dreamlike ambiguity that makes an almost too-subtle comment on World War II.
Vertigo
Gregory J. Smalley @ 366 Weird Movies
- Excerpt: Did any movie produced under the Hollywood studio system ever torture its protagonist as mercilessly as ‘Vertigo’ torments Scottie Ferguson?

The Chef, the Actor and the Scoundrel
Peter Nellhaus @ Coffee Coffee and more Coffee
- Excerpt: Unlike the films that followed Pulp Fiction with stories about idiosyncratic gangsters, Guan Hu seems to have taken Tarantino’s Kill Bill films as inspiration, both visually and in story structure. Without any specific motivation, Guan’s film veers from mock silent movie with intertitles to spaghetti western to animation, and that’s just within the first five minutes.
