Welcome, droogs! Pour yourself a moloko and settle down with the latest issue of Sight and Sound. We turn our glazzies towards A Clockwork Orange,five decades on from the film’s release, as new research uncovers a series of letters and documents telling the story of Anthony Burgess‘s collaboration with Stanley Kubrick.
Elsewhere, Edgar Wright travels back to the 1960s for a conversation about Last Night in Soho,his electrifying tale of a young woman haunted by the past in present-day London, whilst Dr Jingan Young places the film alongside the storied tradition of Soho sexploitation B movies.
In advance of its world premiere as the BFI London Film Festival’s opening night gala, we explore the wild west of The Harder They Fall, hearing from director Jeymes Samuel about his star-studded, big budget western.
And, in a packed edition, we also speak to directors Małgorzata Szumowska and Todd Haynes about their latest works, and dip into the archive for a fascinating conversation with Raoul Walsh. All this plus the latest news, reviews and all of our regular features. Real horrorshow!
