class began‚ I went Borders book store to pick up another film by Akira Kurosawa. I like foreign films allot‚ but my favourite film genres are horror and hopeless romance‚ neither which I have ever associated with German culture.

later is a controversial‚ contemporary noir‚ horror hybrid‚ directed by Danny Boyle and released in 2002. The film contains themes of escapism‚ fear‚ religion and rationalizes zombies to create fear for a contemporary audience. As Danny Boyle didn’t want to create a ‘run of the mill’ zombie cliché‚ he chose to run the idea of fear than illness‚ something society has created so the fear (virus – rage) becomes a psychological sickness in the film.

“Timecrimes”‚ a science fiction film about a man who finds himself stuck in a time loop only to realize that he is constantly running from himself. “Timecrimes” was directed and written by Nacho Vigalondo who also starred it in.
