1981: The Year in Bedlam

Just what the title says.

This Academy Award nominated short hails from 1991, three years prior to its most famous offshoot GROUNDHOG DAY

A particularly fine entry in the Eric J. Guignard edited EXPLORING DARK FICTION anthology series

Bleak is the word for this 2019 Russian made dystopian parable

2020 was a hell of a year

A much-needed addendum to a previous essay, with an overview of weird holiday-themed films emerging from around the world

What follows are the type of little-known films that tend to comprise my “Look Back in Bedlam” listings, of which this is the 1982 entry

If ever a show shouldn’t have worked it was this one, yet somehow MAX HEADROOM emerged as one of the great American TV programs of the decade

One of the better made-for-TV movies directed by the visionary and prolific András Rajnai, a pioneer in the Hungarian TV field

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