Description
We explore 50 years of The Exorcist’s blasphemy and obscenity and pay tribute to director William Friedkin.
Plus: Thelma Schoonmaker and Martin Scorsese on Powell and Pressburger, the best films from Venice 2023 and Carol Morley on Typist Artist Pirate King
Fifty years after its release, William Friedkin’s The Exorcist retains all of its power to shock and provoke. To mark the anniversary, Friedkin’s biographer Nat Segaloff recalls his time with the late director, while Adrian Martin journeys through his varied and often underappreciated oeuvre.
Elsewhere in the issue, Thelma Schoonmaker and Martin Scorsese pay tribute to the ebullient filmography of Michael Powell and Emeric Pressburger, Kieron Corless reports from Venice Film Festival and finds consensus with the jury’s prize-giving, and author Sinéad Gleeson speaks to Carol Morley about her portrait of outsider artist Audrey Amiss.
Plus: the Black Film Bulletin looks at the legacies of Fespaco and Ousmane Sembène and revisits a classic Arther Jafa interview; Tim Burton on his works-in-progress; Molly Manning Walker on How to Have Sex; Nicolas Philibert on On the Adamant; an archive interview with Rouben Mamoulian; and much, much more.
