The new issue of LWLies is dedicated to the true film lovers out there. And yeah: that means you. It’s the ultimate insider’s guide to Belgium’s Dardenne brothers, the powerhouses of modern European cinema who seem to think they can gather fistfuls of awards while flying under the radar of Joe Cinephile. Not any more they can’t.
Ridley Scott searches for truth in a Body of Lies; Steve McQueen sates his Hunger; Marc Forster analyses a Quantum of Solace; Clint Eastwood says the times are a-Changeling; and Fernando Meirelles looks Blindness in the eye. We spend a day in the life of the Dardenne brothers; round up the usual suspects who know them best; find that Arta Dobroshi is anything but silent; pay visual tribute to the great forgotten filmmakers; striding the fault line of Belgian cinema’s split screen; and hoover up the details of the country’s most successful movie songwriter. All this plus exclusive interviews with Chuck Palahniuk, Terence Davies, Alex Gibney and more.
And we’re not stopping there either. The good ship LWLies 21 is already under full steam, and is speeding towards its ultimate destination: the Che issue.
