Alexander Ballinger on 23rd May
With its powerhouse performance from Lee Marvin as a man relentlessly seeking retribution in a modernist LA, Point Blank holds its own against Antonioni and Roeg, writes Alexander Ballinger.
on 23rd May
Spaghetti western meets blaxploitation in Tarantino's irreverent, bloody and entertaining film that sees Jamie Foxx's freed slave try to rescue his wife from a merciless plantation owner.

Today: Todd Haynes and Ozu. Sadly not collaborating (which would be a bit difficult to be honest).
James Oliver on 22nd May / comments
What did William Hartnell do before Doctor Who? Like many British actors, he appeared in low-budget crime films. James surveys the varied appearances of a few well-known faces before they became familiar.

Seventy years on from the raid on German dams, revisit the classic WWII film on special edition DVD and Blu-ray.
on 22nd May

Hartley was one of the most distinctive and promising voices in 1990s indie cinema, but sadly his work faded away. We welcome three new releases on DVD and Blu-ray - including the DVD premiere of Amateur - with a new profile by Mike McCahill.
La Gloire de Mon Pere / Le Chateau de Ma Mere (Rest...

John Boorman, 1967
With its powerhouse performance from Lee Marvin as a man relentlessly seeking retribution in a modernist LA, Point Blank holds its own against Antonioni and Roeg, writes Alexander Ballinger.
Michael R. Roskam, 2011
This eccentric Belgian thriller, starring Rust and Bone’s Matthias Schoenaerts as a steroid-dosed farmer, is a bold foray into the dark areas of the male psyche, writes Mike McCahill.
Henri-Georges Clouzot, 1942
Pierre Fresnay's inspector is led to an eccentric boarding house in his search for a serial killer in Clouzot's dark comedy thriller. It's beautifully crafted, writes Alexander Ballinger.
Budd Boetticher, 1960
The last film in the Budd Boetticher / Randolph Scott Ranown Cycle is a fitting swansong. Sad and elegiac, it's full of warmth and wisdom, but touched with melancholia, writes Rick Burin.
Budd Boetticher, 1959
Probably the greatest of the Budd Boetticher / Randolph Scott westerns. It's an action-packed, emotionally arresting oater that grips from the off and never lets go, writes Rick Burin.
