IFWT #65 - A Discussion With Indie Filmmaker David Wilde

In Film We Trust ·

2023/10/05

In this episode, rather than our usual deep dives delving into a specific film, we are in conversation with independent Scottish filmmaker David Wilde. Whilst Wilde may not be a household name within the film community, he has build an over two decade long career in the independent realm. With his debut feature Pasty Faces taking him over the Atlantic as he shot in Los Angeles and Las Vegas. In this episode he proves a great raconteur, bringing us stories of his experiences within the industry,

As spooky season approaches, our thoughts turn towards the murderous and the macabre, and so what better way to lead into October than with one of the most acclaimed slasher films of all time, one that many people say kickstarted the subgenre: Black Christmas. 4 years before John Carpenter’s Halloween initiated a horror revolution, a little Canadian film following a group of students in a sorority house being targeted by a deranged killer was already creating the blueprint for what would become the

Detroit is a city on the verge of collapse. Crime is skyrocketing, the economy has plummeted, resources are scarce and internal corruption is running rampant. In a last-ditch attempt to save itself, the city has allowed mega-corporation OCP to run the city’s Police force with the hopes of bringing things under control. When a local cop is gunned down in the line of action, rather than mourning his loss, the company decides to bring him back to life and turn what’s left of him into a next-generation

2023/09/07

We may be fully grown and mature adults here at In Film We Trust, or so we’d like to believe, but this week we’re packing up our pencil cases, lunch boxes and textbooks and going back to school. 187 is a film from the 90s that you may have never heard of. Bombing at the box office and receiving poor reviews from critics, it’s gone through something of a reappraisal, and some consider it to be an unjustly overlooked classic, a searing indictment of the American education system and how it fails not

We're back on home shores and back to folk horror as we discuss Mark Jenkin's sophomoric feature film Enys Men. We also discuss his debut feature Bait that straddles the other worldly and British kitchen sink tradition.

2023/08/24

It seems like only yesterday we were covering Peter Jackson’s delightfully twisted directorial debut Bad Taste, and we had so much fun doing it that our next trip to New Zealand was inevitable. This time we’re venturing back to 1977, the tail end of the cinematic New Wave moment that produced some of the industries most acclaimed directors. Over in NZ however, their cinema boom was just getting started, precipitated by a little flick called Sleeping Dogs. A tale of one man’s quest to survive in

We're heading back to 2010 to explore Richard Ayoade's directorial feature debut Submarine. A British comedy-drama that is both singular, yet manages to effectively riff on its influences, such as Billy Liar, Harold and Maude and films of the French New Wave.

IFWT #58 - The Brood (1979)

In Film We Trust ·

2023/08/03

57 episodes in our back catalogue and we’ve never covered a David Cronenberg film yet. I know, we’re just as surprised as you are! So this week we’re rectifying that injustice by taking a look at one of his lesser regarded movies, but perhaps his most personal. The Brood was borne out of difficult circumstances, namely a painful divorce and child custody battle, elements which Cronenberg explores in his own, twisted way. Frank & Nola Carveth are separating, and their daughter Candice is torn

IFWT #57 - Perfect Blue (1997)

2023/07/27

In 1997 Satoshi Kon would make his directorial debut with the Hitchockian anime Perfect Blue. Mima, our protagonist, is an Idol singer, who attemps to break out into acting. Little does she know, she has caught the attention of a crazed fan - but who exactly is this fan? Kon's Perfect Blue deals with many themes that draw parrells to contemporary society and our collective fears - the nature of identity, celebrity fandom and what it means to be an artist. These themes proved to be a fruitful

Way down in the streets of LA. There’s a fella called Rudy, things ain’t going his way. He works in a store so he can make a little money. He cracks a few jokes, but nobody think they’re funny. Ok, enough of that! Eddie Murphy has had many ups and downs throughout his career, but in 2019, after a brief hiatus, he returned to the big screen with the sensational Dolemite Is My Name. Written by the masters of the anti-biopic, Scott Alexander and Larry Karaszewski, and directed by Craig Brewer, it

Sam Peckinpah never shied away from controversy, whether it be The Wild Bunch, that garnered him the name 'Bloody Sam' or the English-set Straw Dogs. But in 1974 he would make what is arguably his most personal film, starring Peckinpah regular Warren Oates - Bring Me The Head of Alfredo Garcia. Peckinpah would head to Mexico, work with a largely Mexican crew, while dealing with rampant alcoholism and away from studio interference, and make a stark, bleak and blackly comic film. In this

2023/06/15

While his name might not be as readily recalled as the likes of Mike Leigh or Ken Loach, Alan Clarke is an important figure in the cinematic world of social realism, and today we’re taking a deep dive into one of his most acclaimed, and controversial projects: Scum. Banned, censored and excoriated by the uptight establishment at the time and condemned by the patron saint of killjoys, Mary Whitehouse, it’s now rightfully regarded as a cult classic. Carlin, played by a young Ray Winstone, enters a

Buckle-up gorehounds, superfreaks and trash aficionados - In Film We Trust is heading to the drive-in for a peak into the world of the Godfather of Gore Herschell Gordon Lewis and his 1964 splatter classic Two Thousand Maniacs. The nudie cutie? The Roughie? Splatter Cinema? Hicksploitation? Lewis has been there for it all and even wrote the whole Goddamn proverbial book on it.

John Carpenter’s filmography speaks for itself, and while he hasn’t always enjoyed box office success, his films have consistently pushed the envelope in terms of suspense, ground-breaking practical effects and sheer craftsmanship. In our first foray into the world of this cinematic giant, we’re checking out a movie that was, like many of his projects, tepidly received upon release, made no money, and led to Carpenter abandoning Hollywood for independent cinema, and not for the last time. It’s the

2023/05/11

Adapted from Scott Heim's 1995 novel, cult director Gregg Araki managed to faithfully bring Heim's powerful and transgressive work of art to the big screen. After a 1990s filled with cult hits - Nowhere, The Doom Generation, Totally Fucked Up - Mysterious Skin brought Araki to the cusp of mainstream acceptance. But Araki, wasn't interested in any easy sentimentality to garner the industries respect. Instead, he brought us a complex, wrought and heart-wrenching piece of cinema that still

This week, we’re taking you back to the 1960s. A time of free-loving, hedonism and profound social and cultural change. But 2 men who are in no way enjoying the perks of this legendary decade are our leads, Withnail & Marwood, commonly known as I. Living in poverty and squalor, struggling from one day to the next with the aid of booze and whatever drugs they can get their hands on, their aspiring acting careers are at an all time low.

When thinking of comic book adaptations, you would be forgiven for thinking of Batman, Spiderman or anything Marvel or DC related, but, simmering within the underground Daniel Clowes and Terry Zwigoff were teaming up to adapt Clowes' cynical classic Ghost World - a story of misfits navigating their own 'ghost world' . A takedown of all things conforming and safe, instead replaced with a questioning narrative that places two teens as our POV into an uncertain world. So stick with us,

While John Woo might only be known to the broader audience as the man behind explosion-filled, bullet-ridden 90s American action films such as Face Off, Hard Target & Broken Arrow, his directing career actually began in his native Hong Kong more than 40 years ago. During a pivotal time in East Asian cinema, Woo was making big noise, literally and figuratively, with films like A Better Tomorrow & Bullet In The Head, which combined outlandish gunfights with philosophical undercurrents.

We're diving deep into Abel Ferrara's polemic grindhouse classic, Ms .45. A film that tackles topics ranging from feminism to oppression on a larger scale. But as interesting a film as it is - and it is very interesting - equally fascinating is the lives of those attached to it, including the much mythologised Zoe Lund, star of Ms .45 and writer of Ferrara's Bad Lieutenant, and we at IFWT make sure to include many stories about those involved.

New Zealand native Peter Jackson is a household name these days thanks to the unfathomably successful and popular Lord Of The Rings series. But before the Hobbits, before the Orcs, before the wizards, before the epic battles and before second breakfast, he would start his motion picture career in the suburbs of his nation’s capital, fighting off an alien invasion with a cache of guns, a chainsaw and a Beatles van. Shot on the weekends over the course of 4 years with a group of willing mates, Bad
