It is important that the film’s -- and the stories’ -- lack of authenticity be addressed in any critical assessment of the work. Argento begins her film with a close-up of what is presumably her personal copy of “The Heart is Deceitful Above All Things,” complete with marginalia and annotations. The audience is immediately aw ... "

"Jem Cohen won the "Someone to Watch" Independent Spirit Award for his feature film Chain last year, but many of us have been "watching" his collaborations with bands like Fugazi for quite awhile. Cohen's work usually falls somewhere in the cracks between personal documentary and experimental narrative. Often shot handheld on low- "
