I come to you not knowing how to take Dear Wendy, the new film written by Lars von Trier and directed by Thomas Vinterberg, the cofounders of the Dogme movement. More than Dogme, though, von Trier is best known these days for his films Dogville and Manderlay,… Continue reading
Stop motion is one of the most painstaking and difficult forms of animation. It’s too bad that Tim Burton would choose to spend so much time on making the characters in his new film, The Corpse Bride, move so elegantly and spend so little time on the story… Continue reading
