We’ve only just picked this up and there’s nothing official yet on the Sitges website but it would appear that Philip Ridley’s HEARTLESS will be showing at the festival.
A little ashamed to say that, of Ridley’s previous work, I’ve only seen THE KRAYS but Todd Brown over at Twitch Films and Mark Kermode (of all people) at the Beeb have piqued my interest to catch this one.
I was impressed with Jim Sturgess in ACROSS THE UNIVERSE and only recently got around to watching IN BRUGES where Clemence Poesy was certainly easy on the eye and handled herself comfortably across from Colin Farrell
From a link over at IMDB it would appear that Todd Brown has also churned out a review of HEARTLESS from the FRIGHTFEST screening but the link’s presently not working. Come on Todd, don’t hold out on us.
This is totally unconfirmed but I think there’s a chance that the great Francis Ford Coppola will be attending Sitges this year. This is based on Tweets that I saw over the weekend, however I think they were in Catalan and unfortunately my Catalan is about as good as my Mandarin Chinese.
The batteries have been recharged and the camera’s rolling once more. Dim the lights and turn up the night-vision.
We’re also hearing that French Zombie film LA HORDE is likely to be playing at Sitges this year.
To commemorate 30 years since the release of this classic, Sitges will be screening Scott’s “favourite version” of the film that first had me checking under my bed.
We’ve never seen any of the Troll films and I get the impression we haven’t missed much, but we’re suckers for documentaries about filmmaking.
Ok. So the poster is a man with a pig’s head holding an axe.
We know it’s you Francis but come on! Is this the best you can come up with after 10 years? We’ve seen it. We disliked it.
We aint’ talking no Jiveturkey but CorridorStyle thinks this could be badass.
