It’s the final day of the 2022 Cannes Film Festival and Darius Khondji is reminiscing. “The films that inspired me to be a cinematographer,” he explained, dipping into the memory banks, “Citizen Kane was a film that inspired me a lot. The films of Orson Welles—The Magnificent Ambersons, you know—the films of Carl Dreyer: Ordet, Gertrud, or Vampyr. Dreyer inspired me a lot!”
Unless you’re someone like Léa Seydoux, or Paul Mescal, few artists have more than one reason to attend Cannes any year, yet Khondji could boast that feat in 2022: as Dp on James Gray’s Armageddon Time, playing in competition, and as the recipient of this year’s Pierre Angénieux Tribute, an annual award for achievements in cinematography.
If the plaudit was overdue, the film was right on time: a deeply moving, autobiographical work from Gray with serious things to say about white privilege.

At a time when remakes – like them or not – are status quo for the movie industry, few films achieve a level of being anywhere near as good as their originals. This is especially true for the horror genre. After so many still-births and disappointments (Friday the 13th, Nightmare on Elm Street, Last House on the Left, to name but a few), fans have longed for someone to take a beloved film from the past and improve it, updating it to fit a more modern sensibility. Many have tried… most fail.
Enter director Steven R. Monroe and his re-imagining of the exploitation classic I Spit On Your Grave (review here) (Blu-ray/DVD review here). Long whispered about by fans as a cornerstone of late ’70s grindhouse fare, I Spit On Your Grave is admittedly a tough row to hoe. The film tells the story of a woman living alone in a...
