dvd review: the skin i live in

dvd review: the skin i live in

By Natalie Salvo on 15 May 2012

The Skin I Live In is a provocative film. While some people will find elements of it titillating, others will no doubt find it extreme and even grotesque. It is a difficult film, a suspense-filled drama that is initially shrouded in many layers of ambiguity. The dramatic build-up does reach a serious climax, as all [...]

giveaway: the five year engagement!

art review: the clock

art review: the clock

By Erin Stewart on 25 April 2012

Time schedules our day. This is obvious. We get up at a particular time, we get to work or meet people at specified times. We might like lunch at midday or one o’clock or one thirty. If we are late to appointments, we run the risk of missing the person we want to see. We [...]

film review: Café de Flore

film review: Café de Flore

By Natalie Salvo on 17 April 2012

Café de Flore is a labour of love by writer/director Jean-Marc Valee (C.R.A.Z.Y). It is an account of two very different love stories – tales separated by different characters, countries and time periods. In spite of all this, an overarching feeling of loss, an intense rawness and a bittersweet tension link the two parts together. [...]

film review: salmon fishing in the yemen

By Rosie Hunt on 10 April 2012

Salmon Fishing in the Yemen is the story of three very different people who take on a rather unusual project.

When his representative Harriet Chetwode-Talbot (Emily Blunt) approaches scientist Alfred Jones (Ewan McGregor) about the idea, Alfred [...]

Fat women in television and cinema

Fat women in television and cinema

By Sonya Krzywoszyja on 24 March 2012

The other day I was browsing Tumblr when I noticed a gif from a movie that had been re-blogged by a friend of mine. The gif was from The Sitter and included the star, Jonah Hill, and the woman playing his girlfriend (or, really, the woman he wants to be his girlfriend), Ari Gaynor. The [...]

celluloid relapse: strictly ballroom, wither australian cinema?

celluloid relapse: strictly ballroom, wither australian cinema?

By Amy Miniter on 22 March 2012

Imagine, just for a moment, that you are no longer you. You are an alien dumped unceremoniously upon this earth for no apparent reason. Unsurprisingly you feel quite alone, disoriented and encumbered by your flotilla of antennae. From here, how would you proceed? If you were in any way rational, it is likely that you [...]

Vincent Wants To Sea tells the story of a 27-year old Tourette’s sufferer (Florian David Fitz, Men In The City who also doubles as the film’s screenwriter). At the insistence of his busy and uncaring, politician father (Heino Ferch) and following his mother’s passing, Vincent is institutionalised and is forced to share a room with the obsessive-compulsive Alexander [...]

film review: extremely loud and incredibly close

By Rosie Hunt on 13 March 2012

Oskar Schell (Thomas Horn) and his father Thomas (Tom Hanks) have always searched for answers in the city of New York, following clues and making discoveries together. For Thomas, there was a special purpose to these activities: they encouraged Oskar to challenge himself and meet new people. Then, out of nowhere, comes ‘The Worst Day’: [...]

film review: coriolanus

film review: coriolanus

By Natalie Salvo on 12 March 2012

Coriolanus is a modern adaptation of a little-known, Shakespeare play. Like Baz Luhrmann’s take on The Bard’s Romeo & Juliet, here the viewer is offered a Shakespearian tragedy with old English dialogue and a modern setting thanks to little twists like news stories on TV and modern warfare raging against the ancient politics underpinning the story. Caius Martius [...]

    FEMALE PERCEPTIONS PROGRAM

    Every woman’s got one, but what exactly should they look like?

    We are conducting a study to examine women’s perceptions of normality and abnormality in a very personal part of the anatomy - women’s genitalia. Taking part in the study involves viewing a range of images of women’s vaginas.

    Understanding women’s opinions of what is normal is vital to help understand and promote positive body image. We are seeking women between 18 and 30 who are willing to give us half an hour of their time. Note that the study involves viewing and rating a series of explicit images.

    This study forms part of a PhD research project being conducted at The University of Queensland. The study has been approved by the Research Ethics Committee of the School of Psychology.

    If you are interested in taking part in this confidential study please contact Claire on 04000 65945 / c.moran1@uq.edu.au, School of Psychology.
