    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.

    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,...

    Director’s Chair: Kenneth Branagh

    So my first run on Director’s Chair has finished. Despite not getting as many reviews as I would like, I still think this has been a success, considering that this hasn’t been a feature for the past 3 years. I hope that this is a good starting point for future directors I’ll highlight. So without further ado, here are the reviews for Kenneth Branagh’s films that I received.…
