Shoot the DVD Player #8: Frank / Audition / RobocopDescription
As the ancient prophecy foretold, we have returned to destroy the world/discuss the following films:
Frank (2014, Lenny Abrahamson)
Co-written by everybody's favourite weirdo-conduit, Jon Ronson, Frank is about music and ambition and madness and hiding your true self behind a big ol' prosthetic head. We've all been there, although in my case it was a prosthetic uvula. As a result, my Year 10 formal was extremely awkward, but hey, this is not about me.
Audition (1999, Takashi Miike)
The search for true love hath many an obstacle: indifference, heartbreak, creative use of acupuncture needles and piano wire. If that sounds nasty... well, it is. So why not save yourself the trauma, and just listen to us natter about it.
Robocop (1987, Paul Verhoeven)
Part man, part machine, part lips (ooh-er that's a bit rude), all cop! We take on this classic 80s sf action film, all the while pretending like the recent remake doesn't even exist.
