This week we revisit the 44th Portland International Film Festival, Jeff Gosil reflects on Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf, Matthew looks at Parker, from a Westlake-Stark novel, the new Criteriion edition of The Parallax View, all ending with a consideration of another Devil's Advocates book, on David Cronenberg's Shivers/They Came From Within/The Parasite Murders.
For more information about the Festival, tune in to S. W. Conser's Words and Pictures episode linked here, where he talks to Ben Popp from the NW Film Center along with a few local filmmakers who have screenings at this year's PIFF.
Also in connection with the remarks on Vulgar Auyteurism, here is the original Cinema Scope article, and the Richard Brody piece in The New Yorker.
