When you're hanging with a posse who murder, steal, rape and share the bed with the same women and commit every crime imaginable, it's time to reassess your life.  Black is a movie you will not forget once you see...

Sachin Kandulkar's Aiyyaa is the kind of film that really challenges me as a writer for an international film site. I feel the need to balance my feelings about certain films with a certain amount of consideration for who my...

I can't honestly say that the upcoming film from first time Hindi director Sachin Kundalkar, Aiyyaa, is particularly ScreenAnarchy-y looking material, but I'll be damned if it doesn't look like a shitload of fun!Aiyyaa is the story of Meenakshi Deshpande...

A second viewing of Pierre Laffargue's kitchen-sink genre-mash cements the notion that if there is a reasonable successor to John Carpenter, albeit with more global leanings, Laffargue is quite possibly the man. While not as overtly funny as something like...

[OK, so I am not actually in Montreal right now, but in the spirit of the fine programming on hand at this years festival, I had a look-see at Pierre Laffargue's directorial debut, the action crime extravaganza, Black.] Kitchen-sink filmmaking...
