Poor Things: a bold example of artistic freedom
Its hyper-stylisation and over-performance can easily deter: this is not a film for everyone. But for those who it hits right, the glamorous world of Poor Things can offer a shining beacon of what it means to learn, to be taught, to explore the world and to explore yourself.
Poor Things: a bold example of artistic freedom
By Jacob Rose, Third Year, Film and English Literature Poor Things, a Frankenstein-esque travelogue that journeys the self, is a bold example of artistic freedom - representing the desire for better visions, further extremes and better teachers. For a director like Yorgos Lanthimos, it's a push towards a new type of absurd, that demonstrates the fundamentals of art in an age where new methods (CGI, LCD screens, etc.) are smoothing the cinematic seams.
The best films to watch on Boxing Day
By Seb Davies, Third Year, Philosophy Boxing day is a day that is different for everyone. Every person you speak to has a different idea of what to do on Boxing Day and yet despite these differences there is no better feeling than a Boxing Day movie. So, whether you are feeling terribly hungover, dealing with a post-Christmas argument or have simply eaten too much to get off the sofa, here are four of the best films to enjoy the Christmas chocolates with and watch on Boxing Day.
Unwrapping what makes a great Christmas film
By Laura Day, First Year, English and Classical Studies It’s Christmas season: the season of bright lights, warm drinks, and even warmer laughter. It’s that time of year when families come together, gathering in fire warmed houses with, more often than not, a festive film lighting up the television screen. But what is it that makes these films so quintessential to Christmas celebrations? And what is it about them that keeps us reaching for the Christmas DVDs year after year after year?
Fallen Leaves: breathing life into the mundane
By Jacob Rose, Third Year, Film and English This year, I've become a bit of an amateur expert on Aki Kaurismäki, the director of the incredibly charming Fallen Leaves. Having perused through his earliest films, I've become a slight megafan of the style of Finland on screen.
Review: Bob Vylan @ SWX
By Zed Law, First Year English Bob Vylan are a band making history. As they proclaim at every gig, they are the first artist to release an entirely self made album and have it reach the UK top 20. Compromised of Bobby and Bobbie, they are pioneering the new wave of punk grime, with a blend of infectious rage and thought provoking lyrics best experienced live.
Scrambled Eggs, Shagged Dogs: Highlights from 2023’s last Bluescreen at the Cube
By Jacob Rose, Third Year, Film and English Literature It’s strange to me that the Cube Microplex’s end-of-the-year Bluescreen, their monthly screening of audience-submitted films, was my first time in the building. The building itself is a wonderfully compact intersection of places, culminating in the cinema itself - a fantastically theatrical stage with a great screen.
Review: Improv’s Greatest Hits! Supporting Save the Rhubarb
By Bruno Bridger, Second Year English and Philosophy A call to arms by Bristol's own Tara Clerkin Trio has vitalised the musical community into embracing a collaborative and improvisational spirit.
Autumn On Screen: Five films to watch this season
Rachel Poels, Second Year, Sociology and Philosophy For some of us, Autumn means wet weather and moody skies; for others, the colours of the leaves, cosy evenings indoors and, of course, Halloween. Here are five films that capture the colours and moods of autumn. Coraline (2009) A Halloween classic, Coraline is not always cosy, but it is full of detailed scenery you can get lost in.
The Old Oak: A battle against tradition, on-screen and off.
Jacob Rose, Third Year, Film and English Literature Having the delight of watching The Old Oak, Ken Loach’s (at least self-declared) last film, at the cinema, was something I only felt the true power of during. As an experience, it captured something intensely fantastic about the near 60-year run in which Ken Loach has been directing films - the immensely important way in which social realist films like The Old Oak deliver a message of social change, and of the struggle to do so.
