Dark Comedy | The Bedlam Files

I’M THINKING OF ENDING THINGS

A most unlikely offering from writer-director Charlie Kaufman

If this year proves anything it’s that the rosy view of the eighties that has taken hold is complete bullcrap

Continuing with my Year in Bedlam year-end overviews, we arrive at 1984

For those of us who came of age in the 1980s, the name Joel Schumacher, a film director who died on June 22 at age 80, has great meaning

Here we pay homage to one of screen’s pre-eminent visual stylists and most irrepressible troublemakers

Fact: anyone who says the eighties were a “golden age” for film is wrong, wrong, wrong, as the year 1986 proves quite amply

Concluding my 2019 overviews is this, the latest edition of Bedlam in Print, exploring the noteworthy publications of the previous twelve months

What is there to say about 2019? A lot, albeit not on the movie screens

A Christmas movie we can all get behind!

This not-very-funny comedy from France pays tribute to Paris’s fabled Grand Guignol Theatre
