ART ENCOUNTERS oF tHe …wHaT kiND? [Timisoara 2015]

October 9, 2015 1

Fresh from the wrap-up, I am going to review the art encounters event in Timisoara as a movie, a sub-genre movie, that could be either a horror comedy or corporate thriller. Haven’t decided yet, maybe we should do a poll. I’ve been blogging mostly on movies these years, so I decided to treat Art Encounters…

Definite cult psychotronic favorite, and probably no wonder it’s Canadian. It’s a fantastic directorial debut by director Panos Cosmatos. With this movie I had the impression that I completely missed a…

Full movie A first rate toxicological, socio-medical thriller. Lately, I’ve seen many quotes from this underrated masterpiece of the 90s. It’s really the dark side of Californian ideology, that peculiar blend of utopianism, high entrepreneurship and libertarianism. During the years of dotcom boom, of Fast Company and Mondo we see the rise of a new…
