The past year has been a great one as concerns the availability and restoration of several titles from Italian auteur Liliana Cavani, a director who came to fame and notoriety alongside peers such as Pasolini, Bellocchio, and Bertolucci. Her work has often faced difficulty in achieving the same sort of international acclaim as those male colleagues, each of them certified as a particular brand within the cinematic canon. And yet, Cavani is as equally provocative and prolific, with boundary pushing titles languishing in obscurity, usually historical reconstructions with gender or sexuality as a unique entry. Her work has often been described as having a feminist bent, but Cavani isn’t aspiring to create female agency in spaces dominated by masculinity. Rather, her concern resides in honest depictions of women ravaged by male dominated systems. Cavani’s most notorious title, 1974’s The Night Porter, received a Blu-ray transfer from Criterion recently,...

As part of our Enchanted 80s week, we look back at the action family epic, Krull…
How can you remain objective about a film you enjoyed so much as a youngster? The answer, of course, is that you can't. And it's true that, when viewed in 2011, the influences of 80s fantasy film, Krull, are more apparent than ever. It borrows freely from Greek and Arthurian myths, Tolkien, and most noticeably, a certain sci-fi blockbuster directed by George Lucas.
And yet, at the same time, it's impossible for me to view Krull without a sense of genuine affection. This is made easier by the fact that, while it's showing its age in places, Krull is a well-made film, and an entire galaxy away from other cheap, quickly made knock-offs that showed up in the wake of Star Wars. This is probably thanks in large part to the experience of Peter Yates,...

With today marking the second anniversary of the passing of Dungeons & Dragons creator Gary Gygax (he even sounds like some kind of hard as nails dwarf with an axe, doesn’t he?), JustPressPlay takes this moment to look back at a couple of the… less traditionally good examples of the sword-and-sorcery genre. In tribute to Gary we proudly dissect a pair of so-bad-they’re-brilliant fantasy films, that might not be were it not for the dreams two guys, a basement, and a small sack of ridiculously large dice.

Hawk The Slayer (1980)
Overtly Melodramatic Synopsis:
“Darkness stalks the land”—and apparently so does cheap Germanic font text for exposition, as we find Hawk, a fabled warrior with all the square jawed enthusiasm of a math teacher herded into the school play, gathering a band of warriors to rescue the local Abbes from the clutches of his evil brother, Lord Voltan!
Oh Yeah,...
