A Filmmaker's Guide to: The Psychoanalytical
In this chapter of ‘the filmmaker’s guide’ we’re actually going to be learning about literature and film together. I understand that many of you are sitting in university during difficult times and finding it increasingly hard to study and I understand that many of you who are not at university or not planning on it are possibly stuck of what to do, need a break or even need to catch up on learning film before you get to the next level. This guide will be brief but will also contain: new vocabulary, concepts and theories, films to watch and we will be exploring something taboo until now in the ‘filmmaker’s guide’ - academia (abyss opens). Each article will explore a different concept of film, philosophy, literature or bibliography/filmography etc. in order to give you something new to learn each time we see each other. You can use some of the words amongst family and friends to sound clever or you can get back to me (email in bio) and tell me how you’re doing. So, strap in and prepare for the filmmaker’s guide to film studies because it is going to be one wild ride.

Inception (2010)
In this article, we will be looking at 2019’s book “1001 Movies to See Before You Die” and going through each film in a random order that I have chosen. We will be looking at what constitutes this film to be on the list and whether I think this film deserves to be here at all. I want to make perfectly clear that I won’t be revealing details from this book such as analyses by film reporters who have written about the film in question, so if you want the book itself you’ll have to buy it. But I will be covering the book’s suggestions on which films should be your top priority. I wouldn’t doubt for a second that everyone reading this article has probably watched many of these movies anyway. But we are just here to have a bit of fun. We’re going to not just look at whether it should be on this list but we’re also going to look at why the film has such a legacy at all. Remember, this is the 2019 version of the book and so, films like “Joker” will not be featured in this book and any film that came out in 2020 (and if we get there, in 2021). So strap in and if you have your own suggestions then don’t hesitate to email me using the address in my bio. Let’s get on with it then.

A Filmmaker's Review: "The Gospel of St. Matthew" (1964)
I absolutely adored this film and it wasn’t, as you probably think, for the religious message behind it. Instead, it was this realist and dramatic, almost melodramatic, film about the like of Jesus Christ according to St. Matthew’s gospel. It is an amazing film that kind of makes you think about the production of film during the 1960s. If you know me, you’ll probably know that I love hidden gems from the days of the mid-20th century and I love watching low-budget golden age cinematic experiences such as the silent films that are from the 20s and 30s and this film, though in colour and with sound, is no exception. Now, if you remember this film at all, you would know that it is the Vatican’s favourite film about Jesus Christ and is often, by filmmakers, called one of the greatest films of world cinema. In world cinema, it is a brilliant and an amazing experience to watch. I watched the restored version and really, I was shocked that it was so good. From the very beginning, from the very first shot to the very end and the final shot, this film has been meticulously crafted not only to show us the life of Jesus Christ but also to show us the progression of world cinema in the 1960s.

‘Song Lang’ Follows a Familiar and Beautiful Tune
You’d think that after Portrait of a Lady on Fire, we wouldn’t need romances, or even narrative films, anymore. I mean, Céline Sciamma has kinda been there and conquered that. Be that as it may, it seems people are still making them. And as it turns out, Song Lang proves that there is most definitely still a place for romance in cinema.

Movie Review: Ms White Light is a Lovely Surprise
Lex (Roberta Collindrez) has a rather mysterious gift. Her job has her sit at the bedside of a person who is dying and give them comfort. Despite her baggy brown suit, unkempt hair, and generally odd manner, Lex has a way of reaching out to those who are dying in ways that members of the family or the medical profession cannot. Lex’s gift is seemingly supernatural and she genuinely helps people accept death in a way that brings great comfort to those who let go.

A Filmmaker's Review: "My Friend Dahmer" (2017)
“My Friend Dahmer” (2017) is a film adapted from a graphic novel which I think we all passed around at school because we hoped this guy was a fictional character and we didn’t know he was real. Good grief he was real. And well, the graphic novel is quite dark and so, I was a little confused when I started watching this and I found that the film was trying to make me laugh along. I’m not going to lie, I wasn’t laughing. Knowing who Dahmer is, I was just incredibly uncomfortable and stuck with a look of disgust on my face. Honestly, I didn’t think it was funny though the film clearly wanted me to think so. I felt my intelligence was slightly insulted and whilst the graphic novel didn’t really want to make you laugh as its main thing, the film relied on that way too much for me not to finish half a bottle of Russian Standard Vodka in the first act. Let’s have a look at the pros and cons of the film.
