Going to Pieces: The Rise and Fall of the Slasher Film
6.741
This historical and critical look at slasher films, which includes dozens of clips, begins with Halloween, Friday the 13th, and Prom Night. The films' directors, writers, producers, and special effects creators comment on the films' making and success. During the Reagan years, the films get gorier, budgets get smaller, and their appeal wanes. Then, Nightmare on Elm Street revives the genre. Jump to the late 90s, when Scream brings humor and TV stars into the mix.

Cruel, Usual, Necessary: The Passion of Silvio Narizzano
1
Perhaps at first glance, the filmography of Silvio Narizzano appears unremarkable. Thanks to his sleeper hit Georgy Girl (1966), he's known largely as a "one-hit wonder" director. Upon closer inspection, however, likely no other filmmaker used cinema as effectively to exorcise personal demons in ways both ugly and beautiful. And few directors' sensibilities were more gay, both overtly and covertly. Film historian Daniel Kremer is your tour guide through an obscure, perplexing body of work heretofore ignored and often unfairly shunned. Cruel, Usual, Necessary: The Passion of Silvio Narizzano is an essay documentary of discovery.

The Magician's House is a quartet of children's fantasy books by William Corlett. Two mini-series were produced in 1999 for British television, which were directed by Paul Lynch. The series featured Jennifer Saunders and Stephen Fry voicing some of the animal characters. The books were published in the early 1990s, and named as follows: ⁕The Steps up the Chimney ⁕The Door in the Tree ⁕The Tunnel behind the Waterfall ⁕The Bridge in the Clouds Although in a rural setting, this series' focus on subjects such as industrial development and the combining of present-day and past settings in the plotline gives it a feeling tending more towards urban fantasy than simply contemporary fantasy. In addition, though there is no specific mention of Welsh myths and legends, the strong part nature plays in the stories and the settings bring to mind other British children's authors. Authors like Alan Garner, who is perhaps best known for The Owl Service and Elidor, and Susan Cooper, famous for The Dark Is Rising sequence of books, who allude more specifically to British myth and legend in their writings.

Difficile de décrire une anthologie brièvement : ce serait comme de vouloir faire un panorama de plus de 150 œuvres de science-fiction et de fantastique, en quelques paragraphes. Ici, malgré des moyens techniques résolument modernes, fi des effets spéciaux: les intrigues portent sur des thèmes sociaux et/ou psychologiques plus que sur du grand spectacle. Au travers de ses sept saisons, Au-delà du réel, l'aventure continue s'est appliquée à traduire, au plus près de l'esprit de la série des années 60, l'âme humaine, ses peurs, ses failles, ses zones d'ombres, ses excès, ses folies... On y retrouve une quantité impressionnante d'acteurs, de réalisateurs, de scénaristes, ayant prouvé ou prouvant encore au petit écran, leur talent.
