Introducing MARCEL DZAMA

Marcel Dzama's images are appealing, witty, and airy; I'm very fond of them and his forays into the moving image are particularly interesting.

Featurette: MELISSA SUE STANLEY

I really like Melissa Sue Stanley's creations which are sometimes odd, sometimes scary but always strangely comforting.

Lars Von Trier's ANTICHRIST

Lars Von Trier is one of my favourite directors, I enjoy the horror genre, and the concept of nature (chaos?) being the manifestation of evil is interesting. The shot above of the road and car being swallowed up by the forest is exemplary of the sumptuous, Gothic imagery from Director of photography, Anthony Dod Mantle.

The film stars Charlotte Gainsbourg and Willem Defoe as a grieving couple who take refuge in an isolated cabin after the death of their child.
