Grandville

Posted by Notcot on Dec 21, 2012 in Steampunk
Grandville

Bryan Talbot’s most recent book, “Alice in Sunderland”, was hailed by the “Guardian” as one of the ten best graphic novels ever and acclaimed by critics all over the world. Before that, at the start of his career, he created the first ever steampunk graphic novel, “The Adventures of Luther Arkwright”. In “Grandville” Talbot brings us another steampunk masterpiece. Inspired by the work of the nineteenth-century French illustrator Gerard, who worked under the pseudonym ‘Grandville’ and frequently drew anthropomorphic animal characters, it tells the story of detective Inspector LeBrock of Scotland Yard as he stalks a gang of murderers through the heart of Belle Epoque Paris. In this alternative reality France is the major world power and its capital is thronged with steam-driven hansom cabs, automatons and flying machines. The characters are mostly animals, though there is an underclass of humans, often referred to as ‘dough faces’, who resemble the ‘clear-line’ characters of Herge’s “Tintin” books. Visually stunning, “Grandville” is a fantastical and audacious rollercoaster ride that will add to Talbot’s reputation as one of the best graphic novelists in the world.

Price : £ 12.74

Fellini’s Roma

Posted by Notcot on Jun 11, 2010 in Cult Film

Average Rating: 4.5 / 5 (8 Reviews)

Amazon.co.uk Review
Federico Fellini’s 1972 ode to the city of Rome is far from a coherent narrative, but as a selection of images and sounds celebrating the famed Italian capital, it’s dazzling and hugely enjoyable. Stylistically, it’s a perfect bridge between the excesses of Satyricon and the nostalgia of Amarcord, and it showcases the true love that Fellini had for the Eternal City. Mixing autobiographical flashbacks with the travails of a present-day movie company making a film about the city (headed up by Fellini himself), Roma is an impressionistic tour de force, delivered via Fellini’s unique cinematic vision. If you can’t tolerate Fellini’s larger-than-life approach, the sometimes-garish colours, or the circus atmosphere, you’ll probably find Roma insufferable. But fans of Fellini will be in seventh heaven, especially during some of the wonderful set pieces–a music dance hall performance that’s interrupted by bombing during World War II; a papal fashion show that’s so surreal it must be seen to be believed; and a breathtaking sequence in which the film crew, tagging along with an archaeological dig, happens upon an ancient Roman catacomb and watches as the beautiful murals disintegrate before their eyes. Through it all, Fellini’s passion for Rome (and moviemaking) shines through, especially in the film’s climax, a dialogue-free sequence of motorcycles roaring through the city at night, a tour that ends at the magnificent Colosseum. At that marriage of past and present, Roma is about as perfect as cinema can get. –Mark Englehart
