Hannibal, Ep.1.07: “Sorbet” – an opulent feast for the eyes
10 May 2013 10:37 AM, PDT | SoundOnSight | See recent SoundOnSight news »
Hannibal, Season 1, Episode 7: “Sorbet”
Directed by James Foley
Written by Jesse Alexander and Bryan Fuller
Airs Thursdays at 10pm Est on NBC
The search for the Chesapeake Ripper continues, as “Sorbet” begins with a rundown of the Ripper’s nine victims. Will (Hugh Dancy) lectures his class, analyzing the mind of the killer as Jack Crawford (Laurence Fishburne) watches from a distance. They know the killer tends to kill in threes, humiliating his victims in the process. Will profiles the Ripper, describing him as someone who is consistently theatrical, and who sees his victims as pigs, not people, displaying their corpses with a sense of mockery. If there was any doubt as to whether Hannibal was the Ripper, or not, this week lays to rest any uncertainty.
Last week’s “Entree” focussed primarily on Jack; every episode prior centred heavily on Graham, but “Sorbet” is all about Hannibal Lecter »

Montreal’s Fantasia International Film Festival – it takes place this year between July 18 and August 6 and has always been about more than just the films. They offer plenty of panel discussions and master classes every year, and last year’s edition introduced the Frontières International Co-Production Market, uniting North American, European, and Australasian talent and funders in an initiative focused specifically on fostering genre film productions and relationships. Noteworthy projects from the inaugural edition included new works from seasoned filmmakers such as Stuart Gordon (Re-Animator) and Bruce McDonald (Pontypool), as well as up-and-coming talent like Justin Benson and Aaron Moorhead (Resolution), Paul Campion (The Devil’s Rock), Jason Eisener (Hobo With a Shotgun), and Jorge Michel Grau (We Are What We Are). At the Fantasia Industry Rendez-Vous – a sort of three-day industry cocktail party – professional introductions were made, and many of the projects found co-producers and/or international sales agents. »

Hannibal - Episodes 4 and 5 Review
30 April 2013 11:23 PM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
John Lucking reviews the fourth and fifth episodes of Hannibal....
Art imitates life, especially within the world of television, and while innumerable shows take their dramatic concepts from real-world events it’s much less common for art to stand aside and let life run its course. That was the decision made by Bryan Fuller regarding Hannibal’s fourth episode as a result of the Boston Marathon bombings. The content of the episode was not tied to the bombings (it dealt with Molly Shannon’s character training children to kill other children) but Fuller says he made this choice out of a cultural sensitivity, stating that he doesn’t want anybody sitting down to watch Hannibal to have a bad time. The episode was only pulled in North America, and rather than an outright ban Fuller did mention that he has no problem with people seeking this episode out further down the line. »

Hannibal 1×04 – “Ceuf” Review
26 April 2013 4:01 AM, PDT | Blogomatic3000 | See recent Blogomatic3000 news »
Stars: Hugh Dancy, Mads Mikkelsen, Caroline Dhavernas, Laurence Fishburne | Created by Bryan Fuller
‘Ceuf’ was notoriously pulled from the NBC lineup in the wake of any numerous tragedies that have occurred in the United States (Sandy Hook, Watertown, etc) and it wobbles the mind as to exactly why it was pulled. The episode, or the main plot of the episode revolves around a woman brainwashing children into killing other children seems pale in comparison to all the coverage of all the aforementioned tragedies that spool out before our eyes on news everyday and the episode would’ve fit right in line with all the many shows like Criminal Minds or Millennium that did the exact same plot but on a different tack. So, why was it pulled? Because the episode isn’t edited cohesively, it feels like an art experiment and feels disjointed. They hit all the emotional character beats but it still feels off. »

Hannibal - Episode 3 Review
20 April 2013 3:43 PM, PDT | Flickeringmyth | See recent Flickeringmyth news »
John Lucking reviews the third episode of Hannibal....
If serving two masters is difficult, serving several must be nearly impossible. While a perfect episode of Hannibal would satisfy the creative team, the network, critics and audience, “Potage” illustrates just how delicate a balancing act this can be as it expands the show’s horizons. The chief concern regarding Fuller’s creative endeavour was the direction in which it would go: routine killer-of-the-week, or a combination of serialisation and procedural storytelling. The third episode is the first to break from the mold and ignore a case-of-the-week scenario in service of what we now know to be the season’s primary focus. The first episode gave it’s violence the gravity it deserved, the second dealt with the lasting effects, and in the third we follow this line of thematic inquiry with the question of whether or not violence is hereditary.

Cronenberg Offers 'Cold, Clammy' Look at Celebrity Idolatry Gone Amok
19 April 2013 4:08 PM, PDT | Alt Film Guide | See recent Alt Film Guide news »
The young Cronenberg Offers 'Cold, Clammy' Look at Celebrity Idolatry Gone Amok in the 21st century Antiviral (first released in 2012). Direction and Screenplay by Brandon Cronenberg. Cast: Caleb Landry Jones, Sarah Gadon, Malcolm McDowell, Wendy Crewson, Douglas Smith, Sheila McCarthy, Joe Pingue, and Nicholas Campbell. (Pictured above: Landry Jones holds a celebrity-related specimen in writer-director Cronenberg's film debut. Image via distributor IFC Films / IFC Midnight.) There will come a day, and a blessed day it will be, when we reach the saturation point in our obsession with celebrity. It’s proven a resilient phenomenon, brought on by the Internet’s "24-minute" news cycle, dozens of cable channels needing cheap reality-show talent who’ll do anything for fame and, of course, our tragically misplaced priorities. Oddly enough, one of the very best movies to tackle our fascination with celebrity was released in the pre-Internet era: released in 1983, Martin Scorsese’s The King of Comedy »
