In this original study, Handyside brings critical attention to a rare female auteur and in so doing contributes to important analyses of post-feminism, authorship in film, and the growing field of girlhood studies. These characters inhabit luminous worlds of girlish adornments, light and sparkle and yet find homes in unexpected places from hotels to swimming pools, palaces to strip clubs: resisting stereotypes and the ordinary. Read more aesthetic that offers sustained, intimate engagements with female characters.

We take into account lunar cycles when we make these interventions. So we prune the vines as nearas possible to the budding time, respect the sap flow, plough the surface of the soil, remove excess buds, deleaf and tie the canopy up to permit air and light to circulate, and to limit entanglements in the vegetation. We get ourselves prepared to apply prophylactic measures in our plots, to diminish diseases of the vine wood and the impact of pests and fungal attacks. To make this happen, anticipation is everything. We support them, and encourage them each year to reinforce their natural defences while preserving the environment. Being familiar with practices which respect organic life, we have tended our vines in the direction of more autonomy. To bring clarity to our techniques of viticulture and vinification, we engaged in the process of ECOCERT accreditation in 2009, becoming certified in 2012. Our Domaine moved towards organic viticulture during the 2000s. You don’t even need to finish reading this.

The Creepshow format is a tribute to the EC and DC horror comics of the 1950s and the film practically brims with affection for them. Romero ( Night Of The Living Dead), the pair craft an anthology that can be a little uneven, but is full to the brim with affection not only for the horror genre, but for storytelling as an experience. It makes sense that King would jump at the chance to replicate this format in film, adapting two of his own stories and writing three more especially. Story anthologies are one of King’s own formats when it comes to his particular brand of storytelling, his novels punctuated by such collections throughout his career (adaptations of some will be popping up throughout this ‘revisiting’ series). Finally, a nasty businessman finds his hermetically sealed apartment slowly filling with cockroaches in They’re Creeping Up On You. Something To Tide You Over finds a vengeful man finding a particularly soggy way of getting even, while The Crate offers a unique, monster-shaped solution to his marital problems.
