Coming soon - A new feature where I'll take a trip around the planet in 80 movies. Recognised classics, cult oddities, fictional visions and powerful documentaries from all genres and all eras will be covered. This is not intended as a project to represent individual national cinemas - Italian neo-realism, the French new wave, German expressionism - but more of a smorgasbord selection designed to give people a taste of the wonderful world of cinema. The individual films discussed will hopefully form an all encompassing whole that will make audiences look anew at films they love and broaden the interest in some lesser known entries. Classic scenes, controversial political discourse, technological advances, the uses of genre conventions, censor baiting directors, memorable location work and career making performances from the iconic and the long forgotten will be addressed in a whirlwind cinematic tour around this place we call home.
In the next couple of weeks the first entry into my 80 movies collection will make its appearance, and what better way to begin than with the first feature length movie - Charles Tait's The Story of the Kelly Gang, from 1906, the Australian entry
Nice concept this one matey!!
ReplyDeleteI am looking forward to seeing where and when it takes us!!
Quite an undertaking, is it going to be 80 weeks? Or a few a week? Still a big task!!
LOL
Good Luck!
Cheers Scott. Probably 160 weeks knowing the lack of time I actually get to sit down and concentrate on blogging! I'm aiming for at least one every couple of weeks, maybe more...probably less! Spread the word.
