Published Work – Cinema, Films, Movies

Writings

I regularly write DVD/Blu-ray reviews on world cinema for DVDCompare, although I’ve had work appear in other publications since 2005. Particular areas of interest for me are European horror films of the 1970s and 1980s, transnational film noir, 1990s neo-noir films and the erotic thriller of the same period (and the intersection between these two forms), and Italian crime cinema. On this page, I will list the work I have had published and provide links to it where I can.
