10 Unjustly Forgotten Films By Famous Directors

18 April 2013 4:59 AM, PDT | Obsessed with Film | See recent Obsessed with Film news »

I’m a big believer in the axiom that, if a person’s talented, then they will be noticed and remembered. This has been particularly true regarding those in the film business; lots of directors have come and gone, and there have always been good and bad directors, just as there have always been good and bad movies. While we may bemoan the state of whatever era of cinema we may be living in, we can take solace in the fact that the cream will rise, that the great directors of our age will have their names engraved in the annals of film history while their not-so-talented contemporaries will fade away.

Theatre Review: Outfox Presents ‘Rope’

16 April 2013 8:00 AM, PDT | The Hollywood News | See recent The Hollywood News news »

Director: John Fricker

Starring: Ana Luderowski, Will Bryant, Chris Walsh, Joe Sowerbutts

Running Time: 135 Minutes (inc. 15 min interval)

Rope is the intense drama by Patrick Hamilton which originally mesmerised audiences some 84 years ago and then inspired Alfred Hitccock to transfer the London-based thriller to the big screen. Rope is one of Hitchcock’s better known films but Thn were lucky enough to attend this newly interpreted play by Outfox Productions in the Jack Studio Theatre in Brockley, and it was quite brilliant.

Director John Fricker, plays with shadows, light and darkness in a way which puts the audience on edge and reflects perfectly the question of guilt and conscious which undoubtedly haunts the murderers –  if only initially on a subconscious level. Quite vitally, there’s great attention in the detail here which, in turn, leads to every slight movement or utterance having a meaning, and a powerful one at that. »

Patrick Hamilton’s Rope has been thrilling audiences since 1929. The draw of the coolly intellectual antiheroes is undeniable.
