CINEMA FOR THE PEOPLE

A Lizard In a Woman’s Skin (the title comes from a throwaway line delivered by, you guessed it, a drugged-out hippie) is an authentic 1970s giallo, full of lurid imagery and an insolent refusal to have any point beyond base titillation.

The threesome of Y Tu Mamá También and The Doom Generation defines these films far beyond the actual act itself; we can feel the groundwork being laid, and sit in its reverberance after it takes place.

Rather than pumping out another Spielberg retrospective where forty films are boiled down to a top ten, Hyperreal would like to offer an alternative assembly: attributing a Steven Spielberg film to each of the major American holidays.
