1984: The Year in Bedlam
Continuing with my Year in Bedlam year-end overviews, we arrive at 1984
1994: The Year in Bedlam
1994 was the year of PULP FICTION and HOOP DREAMS; here I’ll be concentrating here on thirty lesser-known films, which provide a plethora of genre-spanning quality cinema!
1995: The Year in Bedlam
Some great films premiered in 1995, including Michael Mann’s HEAT, Todd Haynes’s SAFE and Mike Figgis’s LEAVING LAS VEGAS
PANIC IN HIGH SCHOOL
Before ELEPHANT and LESSON OF THE EVIL there was PANIC IN HIGH SCHOOL, a 1978 film co-directed by Japan’s Sogo Ishii, who was just 19 years old
THE CRAZY FAMILY
A true classic of Japanese cult cinema, a stunningly twisted black comedy that takes on suburban life in eighties-era Japan by spoofing American sitcoms of the time
LABYRINTH OF DREAMS
Arthouse devotees will appreciate this heavily stylized black and white mystery from Japan’s legendary Sogo Ishii
