		<title>Shutter Island</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
I write on Martin Scorsese’s new film Shutter Island mostly as an excuse to cross reference it to one of my favourite quotes I’ve encountered in my time spent reading film criticism. The author in question is NY Press’s noted contrarian Armond White, who wrote of Brian DePalma’s maligned 2000 sci-fi flop Mission to Mars [...]]]></description>

		<title>You can&#8217;t make this shit up.</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
There seems to be a debate as to what kind of film Tommy Wiseau originally intended The Room to be. In my mind, there is no doubt that in 2003 he released a melodrama that he hoped would hit the big time. Instead, the film found more success in recent years after being discovered by [...]]]></description>

		<title>A Single Man</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
Christopher Isherwood&#8217;s A Single Man, published in 1964, is a major work of twentieth century gay literature, and a challenging book to make a film out of. If Isherwood is today rather less widely recognized than his contemporary Truman Capote &#8211; upon whom a brief, mean joke is played at one point in this film [...]]]></description>

		<title>Nine</title>
		<description><![CDATA[
“The world sees Rome the way you invented it,” Sophia Loren tells Daniel Day-Lewis in Nine. This is the power that a director has when he makes intelligent, affecting films. And from the way he is depicted, it seems that director Guido Contini (Day-Lewis) has achieved such splendour. Emphasising the control that films have over [...]]]></description>

I. I hate Don&#8217;s life but I want his suit.
In The Reality of the Virtual, Slavoj Zizek makes what at first seems an absurd claim: that the Sound of Music is a racist film. But, when put under analysis, his argument is hard to deny. Basically, Zizek makes a distinction between the narrative reality of [...]]]></description>
