“I love slasher films, but they don’t love me back. Being a woman who is interested in genre cinema means that she is in a constant game of negotiation with the films that she is watching. She will search for images to reclaim for herself or find the truth of a character who may only be in the film to get hacked to bits by the latest knife-wielding madman. To understand why she gravitates toward movies which often hold no respect or common decency for her gender it becomes necessary to ask the question: ‘How does a woman watch anything?’”

PJ Harvey by Anton Corbijn, 1994. A Dog Called Money is now in UK cinemas & on MUBI:

“Looking over his body of work as a whole again, it is clear that the prevailing idea in all of Ghatak's movies is the impenetrability of other worlds. His are characters trapped at the margins of geographical, social, or psychic borders that themselves prove insurmountable. Staring out over the limits of their lives, these people, like Ghatak, are defeated by the sheer force required to cross these boundaries.”
