Travel past the edge of the woods, located on the periphery of some unnamed European country, and you’ll find a large house. Inside, an institute dedicated to sponsoring artists who deal in “culinary and alimentary performance” has set up shop. Its mission: giving a safe space to those who push the boundaries of good taste, literal and otherwise. The informal organization’s head, Jan Stevens (Game of Thrones‘ Gwendoline Christie), is currently offering a residency to a trio led by Elle di Elle (Fatma Mohamed), a woman dedicated to...

Gwendoline Christie and Asa Butterfield star in this stylish and deeply odd confection about ‘sonic cooking’
Peter Strickland is cinema’s elegant poet of fetish and rapture and oddity, creating movies that are like double-gatefold electro-pop concept albums full of deadpan not-exactly-comedy and strange mitteleuropaïsch pastiche. After his relatively conventional and heroically self-funded debut in 2009, the psychological drama Katalin Varga, Strickland moved into horror and eroticism – or, at any rate, into a world stylistically adjacent to scary or sexy, with his quasi-giallo homages: Berberian Sound Studio in 2012, with Toby Jones as the tormented sound engineer; The Duke of Burgundy in 2014, about Bdsm; and In Fabric in 2018, about a haunted red dress. Now he has gone even further out on his slender limb with this pedantically bizarre creation – in which Peter Greenaway’s influence is making itself felt – occupying a precarious position in its own created world.

Moving from the clothes we wear (with accompanying antagonist forces of everyday appliances) to the food we eat (or can’t eat), Peter Strickland is one of the best British filmmakers since breaking onto the scene with sensorial items such as 2009’s revenge drama Katalin Varga, and following that by 2012’s Berberian Sound Studio and 2014’s The Duke of Burgundy. With several coals in the fire, Strickland turned to low budget pandemic filmmaking lassoing muses Fatma Mohamed and Gwendoline Christie (the both recently appeared in In Fabric), in addition to the likes of Asa Butterfield, Ariane Labed, and Makis Papadimitriou to the fold last June for his fifth feature film.…...

Over the course of only three feature-length films, writer and director Peter Strickland has established himself as a master of suspense, sound, atmosphere, and pacing. Influenced by Italian giallo, softcore erotic, ’60s psychedelia, and groovy, mondo exotic outre cinema, Strickland’s really one of a compared to any of his contemporaries.

Any new Peter Strickland film is cause for celebration. The Berkshire auteur has delivered some of the most delightful unease (and wicked humour) in cult cinema since 2009's Katalin Varga. In Fabric is his most wildly fluctuating film, where the highs are pure joy, but there are some wibbly-wobbly points and an inscrutably repetitive third act that makes me want more the cut of a pencil skirt over the delivered maxidress replete with shoulder pads, sequins, and embroidered frills. This may come as a surprise to cinephiles and genre-fetish aficionados, who were rightly enthusiastic about the director's razor sharp control of tone and atmosphere in his previous self contained, and highly specific, cinematic universes. Indeed, In Fabric is ardently in love with 1950s era department store environments, and...

A well-worn turn of phrase to begin: No one makes movies like Peter Strickland. That's not to say the British writer-director behind the suggestive Roma revenge thriller Katalin Varga (2009), the aurally fixated horror film Berberian Sound Studio (2012), and the ethereal S&m romance The Duke of Burgundy (2014) is somehow outside or above influence. His love of hot-blooded giallo and Europudding erotica is almost always evident (Berberian even took place behind the scenes of a sleazy Italian slasher). But he somehow manages to transform and transcend what, in many hands, would feel unoriginal and derivative.

Brillante Mendoza’s “Alpha, the Right to Kill,” Felix Van Groeningen’s Brad Pitt-produced “Beautiful Boy,” Louis Garrel’s “A Faithful Man” and Peter Strickland’s “In Fabric” will compete for San Sebastian’s Golden Seashell, the Basque festival announced Friday.
Further new main competition titles unveiled take in Liu Jie’s “Baby” and Tuva Novotny’s debut “Blind Spot.”
The six titles join 12 already-announced competition contenders. San Sebastian has yet to unveil its closing film.
Festival’s official selection – which takes in competition and out-of-competition titles – opens Sept. 21 with Ricardo Darín and Mercedes Morán-starrer “An Unexpected Love.” Playing in competition, the film represents the directorial debut by Juan Vera, Argentine producer of titles by Pablo Trapero and Lucrecia Martel.
Felix Van Groeningen won the Panorama audience award at the 2013 Berlinale with “Alabama Monroe,” Oscar-nominated for best foreign language film. In “Beautiful Boy,” his English language debut, toplining Steve Carell and Timothée Chamalet,...

A lads’ hunting weekend begins with beers and banter, only to swiftly sober up when two Edinburgh townies wind up shooting entirely the wrong prey. But getting out of the woods isn’t even close to getting in the clear in “Calibre,” a sensationally well-executed nerve-mangler that ought to do for the majestic Scottish Highlands what “Deliverance” did for Appalachia. That is, if smart genre fiends seek out Matt Palmer’s majorly promising debut feature on Netflix — where it’s set to bow globally on June 29, just one week after its home-turf premiere at the Edinburgh Film Festival. That’s a mixed blessing for a film that certainly deserves the broad exposure of international streaming, but whose natural habitat is the midnight-movie circuit: Its jackknife shocks, clammy atmospherics and head-filling soundscape would best be enjoyed in the immersive darkness of a cinema.

Marianne Jean-Baptiste stars in ghost story.
Peter Strickland’s upcoming ghost story In Fabric has been acquired for UK distribution by Curzon.
The acquisition, which was struck with sales agent Bankside Films, continues Strickland’s relationship with Curzon, with the company having released all of his features to date in the UK: Katalin Varga (2009), Berberian Sound Studio (2012) and The Duke Of Burgundy (2014).
Curzon has also taken UK streaming rights; the distributor previously released titles including 45 Years in theatres day-and-date with its streaming platform Curzon Home Cinema. The release strategy will be finalised further down the line.

Below is a strictly personal, unapologetically idiosyncratic list of the twenty films I'm most looking forward to in 2018 and which have so far yet to be seen by any paying audiences. Among those seriously considered but ultimately excluded on the basis that they're more likely to be ready next year are Ad Astra (James Gray), Blessed Virgin (Paul Verhoeven), The Fire Next Time (Mati Diop), Late Spring (Michelangelo Frammartino), the particularly-dynamite-on-paper Martin Eden (Pietro Marcello), Mektoub, My Love: Canto Due (Abdellatif Kechiche) and Motorboats (Yuri Ancarani). I also reluctantly discarded a couple of highly tantalising projects whose status, at the time of writing, was frustratingly unclear, namely Tijuana Bible (Jean-Charles Hue) and the worryingly long-in-gestation You Can't Win (Robinson Devor). Omitted because they're made primarily for TV rather than cinemas: Martin Scorsese's The Irishman (Netflix) and Bruno Dumont's Coincoin and the Extra-Humans (Arté). Finally, Joanna Hogg's The Souvenir: Part I...

Toby Jones stars in Peter Stickland's follow up to his impressive feature debut, 'Katalin Varga' as a talented albeit mild mannered English sound engineer, hired by an Italian production team to work post-production on a gruesome horror in the mold of Dario Argento's 'Suspiria' some time in the late 1970s. He arrives at the studio in Italy having flown direct from Heathrow, eager to have his ticket refunded by the accounting department and with little luck. This is only the first of his problems.

Abandon Normal Devices, Manchester
Just as the Olympic torch passes through Manchester this week, so And offers a warm-up of its own before the full-blown festival coinciding with the Olympics proper. Two new films are the main draw. The first is Swandown, in which film-maker Andrew Kötting and urban psychogeographer and writer Iain Sinclair journey via inland waterways on a swan-shaped pedalo to – you guessed it – the Olympic site over in Stratford (Sinclair is not a fan, by the way). The other, a world premiere, is The Creator, a hallucinatory meditation on the second world war codebreaker and posthumously acclaimed artificial intelligence prophet Alan Turing, by the local duo Al and Al. Both films will be accompanied by their makers, and the And festival will then tour the north-west before returning to Manchester on 29 Aug.

Discovered whilst arguing with her boyfriend in a train station, Katie Jarvis went on to play the role of Mia in Andrea Arnold's critically acclaimed Fish Tank - and was the well deserved winner of the 'Most Promising Newcomer' award at the 2009 British Independent Film Awards. Katie tells us how the award 'means everything' and that it will 'give her the boost' to carry on acting and achieve her dreams. She also, rather humbly, tells us that she never thought she would win her category, which saw her up against Hilda Peter for Katalin Varga, Christian McKay for Me and Orson Welles, George McKay for The Boys are Back and Edward Hogg for White Lightnin'.

Another fantastic looking premier at Berlinale is Peter Strickland's Katalin Varga, and the whole tale seems to have something to do with both revenge and redemption. This is not our usual fare with it's old world style, but the photography, eerie sound, and possibility of something profound make it worth a post.
Antal Borlan's loving wife would never even suspect that her devoted and kind husband is responsible for a past atrocity. Antal believes he has felt God's forgiveness and that his enduring marriage is testament to his redemption. An avenging angel by the name of Katalin Varga scales the Carpathian Mountains by horse and is in possession of the one thing that can redefine Antal's notion of redemption. Yet Katalin cannot fully comprehend the notion of vengeance until the devastating trail she leaves behind in her search for Antal finally catches up with her.
Trailer after the break.

Berlin -- Stephen Frears' period epic "Cheri," rap biopic "Notorious" and the omnibus project "Deutschland 09," featuring a who's who of German directing talent, have made the cut for next month's Berlin International Film Festival.
As the Berlinale rushes to close its competition lineup, director Dieter Kosslick has secured several high-profile titles for the race for the 2009 Golden Bear.
These include Francois Ozon's "Ricky"; "Storm," from German art house favorite Hans-Christian Schmid ("Requiem"); and "Happy Tears," Michael Lichtenstein's hotly-anticipated follow up to his breakthrough debut, "Teeth."
The fresh faces will be joined by several old masters including Andrzej Wajda, who returns to Berlin with "Sweet Rush"; Bertrand Tavernier, whose Civil War drama "In the Electric Mist," starring Tommy Lee Jones and John Goodman, will have its world premiere in Berlin; and Costa-Gavras, who will close the festival with his out-of-competition entry "Eden Is West."
Other competition titles include Danish director Annette K.
