Introduction: The Analogues of Peter Strickland

Alexandra Heller-Nicholas and John Edmond
July 2019
The Analogues of Peter Strickland

The Driver

Bitumen Music: Walter Hill’s The Driver (1978)

John Edmond
March 2017
CTEQ Annotations on Film
A long shot is of the human body in full view, a medium from torso up, a close-up the face or equivalent part. Humanly derived, these delineations buckle when applied elsewhere. A car in side profile is in long...

Concrete Passages: Cinema’s Baroque Flesh: Film, Phenomenology and the Art of Entanglement, by Saige Walton

John Edmond
March 2017
