Ignore what Bob Odenkirk’s character, Sheriff Ulysses, says at the end of the official trailer for Ben Wheatley’s neo-Western, Normal. Despite saying, “Nothing to see hear”, there is plenty of action to see your eyes on in this one.   Check it out, down below.    The latest collaboration between Bob Odenkirk, JOHN WICK creator Derek Kolstad and NOBODY producer Marc Provissiero, director Ben Wheatley’s (FREE FIRE, HIGH RISE) kinetic neo-Western stars Odenkirk as an unassuming substitute sheriff with a troubled past who, after moving to a small, sleepy town, responds to a bank robbery and unknowingly uncovers something far more explosive.   For Sheriff Ulysses (Odenkirk), his provisional posting to the quaint Midwestern American town of Normal was meant to be a welcome respite…

Anime was well represented at the International Film Festival Rotterdam this year. The selection included Hosoda Mamoru’s Scarlet (reviewed here), Aoki Yasuhiro’s ChaO (reviewed here), and this peculiar one: Kuji Gorō’s war drama Peleliu: Guernica of Paradise.

I’ve been following her career path ever since watching her first feature, Mundane History….
