Shot Through A Window. The Hyde Park Picture House. March 3, 2011. So begins David Michôd striking debut feature,. We are introduced, through the eyes of young ‘J’, to the Codys, a family of feral criminals in suburban Melbourne. They’re a colourful cast of characters bank robbers, drug dealers, drug users constantly at war with the police and each other. Binding them together is the aforementioned Grandma, memorably played by Jackie Weaver with toothy grin and demonic eyes. This entry was posted in Films.

Shot Through A Window. Kill List →. September 2, 2011. I recently discovered that in 1986, Andrei Tarkovsky wrote this:.

He goes there for living experience; for cinema, like no other art, widens, enhances and concentrates a person’s experience and not only enhances it but makes it longer, significantly longer. Provide a pleasing respite, giving your eyes time to see and your brain time to process a...

Film was now able to transfix us further, adding nuance and complexity beyond the limit of an orchestral score throughout. In fact, as it happens, I don’t think. Is nearly weighty e...
