Editor's letter


Potential cover lines/ copy

How the bombshell and the bomb-maker saved cinema

The eyes, chico - how those gorgeous close-ups have been used in film over the years

"It's about time" - [Aahna's film's director] on her female-lead mafia thriller

Japanese horror - A lavish call-back to arthouse Japanese horrors of the past which thrives in its ethereal trickery and deliciously gross gore

Roman Holiday at 70 - a timeless tale of true but tempoary love

The Return of the King at 20 - still a trailblazing triumph

Schindler's List at 30 - as important as it's ever been

dressed as an unassuming coming-of-age flick, [Ruby's film's name] is a zeitgesity tale of loneliness and peservering optimism for our climate of isolation.

Studio Ghibli release first promotional images for the hotly-anticipated "The Missing Piece"
