    Director’s Chair: Danny Boyle

    Hello everyone. It’s once again time to do a round up of all the posts that I received for the films of Danny Boyle. Got a good haul this time around and once again it was great to hear the diverse opinions for the films of Danny Boyle. As always, links to the features will be placed below and I hope you have a look at these pieces yourselves.

    Director’s Chair: Satoshi Kon

    Once again, it’s time to round up posts on Director’s Chair. Now before I put them in I will say that I didn’t expect to get a lot of responses this time around. I’m glad that I was able to get some responses for this feature but I know that with Satoshi Kon and the last director I chose, Derek Jarman, I may have gone a bit too obscure with my choices. Let me say then that for the next few months, the directors that I...

    Hello everyone and welcome to another edition of Director’s Chair. Seeing how the past 2 ones have been for live action films, I thought it would be interesting to go into the realm of animation.

    Director’s Chair: Derek Jarman

    Now when I first decided on doing Derek Jarman for this months Director’s Chair, I knew I would get very few responses, maybe I went a bit too obscure with my choice of Jarman, but I hoped that if I could get one extra person to see the films of Jarman then it would have been worth it. With that said, here are the reviews I received for the films of Derek Jarman:

    Deadline: 28th May 2016

    I said back in the post I did announcing the return of this feature that I would be highlighting more obscure and offbeat directors during my tenure running this feature and I feel that no director exemplifies this more than Derek Jarman. Starting off as a set designer, most notably working on Ken Russell’s The Devils,...
