CJSF volunteer Hayley Gauvin reviews Lars Von Trier's controversial and provocative film Antichrist at this year's Vancouver Film Festival...
There is little to no room for fence sitting when it comes to this movie. Antichrist has left audiences at Cannes, Toronto, New York, and now Vancouver at the opposite poles of outrage and elation. The film is very controversial, very graphic, and not for the faint of heart.
CJSF volunteer Jay Peachy reviews Rocaterrania a film appearing at the 28th annual Vancouver Film Festival.
CJSF volunteer Mike Hoff reviews Terry Gilliam's newest film at the 28th annual Vancouver International Film Festival....
“The Imaginarium of Dr. Parnassus” is Terry Gilliam’s tour de force of the imagination: creatively limitless, fantastically obscure, overwhelmingly preposterous, yet visually delightful. Both humourous and profound, the riveting storyline kidnaps us and holds us hostage until the end-credits roll.

Necrobusiness
Director: Fredrik von Krusenstjerna and Richard Solarz, Sweden, 2008, 90 minutes
Wednesday May 27 | 7:00PM | Vancity Theatre
