Once again Electric sheep delights us with its offbeat approach to cinema. Each issue explores a different theme taken from the underbelly of film. From horror to cult, World Cinema to indie.

Tainted Love: Doomed passions, secret obsessions and falling for the wrong person – the dark side of cinematic love.

The spring issue of Electric Sheep focuses on Tainted Love to celebrate the release of the sweet and bloody pre-teen vampire romance “Let the Right One In”. Once again it is packed with insightful and challenging articles including articles on incestuous cinematic siblings, François Ozon’s tales of tortuous relationships, destructive passion in Nic Roeg’s Bad Timing, Julio Medem’s ambiguous lovers and nihilistic tenderness from Kôji Wakamatsu.

It also includes an Interview with John Lindqvist, an examination of Film in Berlin from squat cinema to the Berlinale, an article on The Polish New Wave and a very cool Comic strip on the Watchmen film adaptation.

This review will appear in Volume 2 No.2 (2009) of the digital and print edition of Synergy Magazine.
