March 2017 Favourites
Hello everyone, long time no post! Things have been excessively quiet over here at Film Grimoire, and for that I do apologise. But there’s no time like a post about favourite things to get back into the swing of writing. I actually haven’t been able to watch too many films this month, things have been […]
Mother Joan of the Angels (1961): Quick-shot review!
Looks like I have an interest in Polish films about nuns. Mother Joan of the Angels (1961) is a creepy drama, focusing on the sociological and psychological phenomenon of mass hysteria and its interpretation within a religious context as demonic possession. Directed by Jerzy Kawalerowicz and based on the supposedly true event of the Loudun possessions, […]
Blindspot 2016: The Sacrifice (1986)
The Sacrifice, released in May 1986, was Andrei Tarkovsky’s final film before his death in December 1986. In consideration of its typical Tarkovskian (did I make that word up?) themes of mortality, lost humanity, and wonderings about religion and man’s place in the world, the film is a very interesting piece of work indeed. Its […]
Blindspot 2016: The Fall (2006)
Tarsem Singh’s The Fall (2006) is a beautiful, dreamlike film-within-a-film. Its synopsis is as follows: In a hospital on the outskirts of 1920s Los Angeles, an injured stuntman begins to tell a fellow patient, a little girl with a broken arm, a fantastic story of five mythical heroes. Thanks to his fractured state of mind […]
October 2016 Favourites
Welcome, everyone, to November! The spooky month of October is over and done with, and now that Halloween is finished we’re on the steady descent towards Christmas. October was another quiet month here at Film Grimoire, but as of this month, I’ve included regular writing back into my routine somewhat, so things should be back […]
Film Grimoire’s three year blogiversary!
Hello everyone! This is a very quick post to celebrate something special – today marks the third blogiversary (blog + anniversary) of Film Grimoire! I almost can’t believe I’ve actually stuck at something for this long. I’m super happy and proud to be part of such an amazing film blogging community here at WordPress. Thank […]
Game of Thrones – Season 6 Episode 9: “Battle of the Bastards”
What an episode. I’m going to get right into it. Spoiler warning: This post is filled to the brim with spoilers. Please watch the episode before reading this post!
Game of Thrones – Season 6 Episode 4: “Book of the Stranger”
Normally it’s around episode four that all the disparate plot points of a Game of Thrones season begin to pick up their momentum; goals are identified, strategies are put into place, and we start to see an endgame that will no doubt be ruined by someone getting their head chopped. I’m pleased to announce that […]
Very exciting news! – Winter At Westbeth (2015)
Some old faithful readers here at Film Grimoire may remember that back in late 2014, myself and my partner and our good friend all travelled to New York City in order to make an amazing film, meet some amazing people, and also enjoy the sights and sounds of the city. That is, my partner and […]
April 2016 Favourites
April was another quiet month here at Film Grimoire, but I like to think of it as having a nice rest before Game of Thones starts and I type my fingers into oblivion as I rant about the episodes forever and ever. April was a pretty amazing month in terms of not just Game of […]
