Obscure and Offbeat Cinema

Films that lie on the fringe of normal acceptance. Things that have been lost in time, space or forgotten because they are goddamned weird. I am always open for suggestions and recommendations. I love all cinema.

What Can Cannes of 30 Years Ago Tell Us About the Present?

For all the weight of the American presence at the 1985 Cannes film festival, the biggest winners were far removed from the glamour of Hollywood.

For Fandor I wrote about the 1985 Cannes Film Festival and what it can tell us about the current state of affairs (if anything).
