	Amazon.com: M (Bfi Film Classics): Books
		It is one of the first film about serial killers, and already Lang goes beyond depicting the pathology of such criminal; what M examines is the pathology of 20th century modern society.
		M speaks to us as a timeless classic, but also as a Weimar film that has too often been isolated from its political and cultural context.
		In this compact but meticulous study, Anton Kaes reveals the connection between the film and the Weimer German society in which it was made, and shows us how Lang fused his film with shrewd criticism and annualization of the world in which he lived in; a 20th century metropolis of mass society and mass-media culture.

		Forensic pathology and forensic archaeology both establish that in Roman crucifixion the nails were hammered into the radius above the wrist and not into the metacarpals on the palm as the film portrays in support of the Roman Catholic stigmata superstition.
		This film, Roman Catholic inspired film (supposedly endorsed by the anti Christ pope) is historically inaccurate, biased, and like anything else tainted with the cancer of Roman Catholicism, is not something we would recommend or endorse.
		The film is partially inspired by visions of two nuns into the 'stigmata', the appearance of nail wounds on the palms of the hands read by Mel Gibson.

	The new voices of black film csmonitor.com
		"One film which I thought really pushed the envelope was 'Drumline,' a movie that talked about African-American youth without resorting to hip-hop cliché or issues of urban pathology, which are kind of the recurring themes in many other films," says Hudlin.
		Many black actors and producers are looking for a fresh take on relationships in the African-American community, a shift that will certainly be a point of discussion during Sundance's panel on black film.
		Some argue that this leads to a homogenization of the types of films that black directors make, since they have to conform to studio expectations of what might be commercial.

	slant // magazine.com: Film Review - Bounce: Behind the Velvet Rope
		Eric Mojica, head of a bouncing org, is the film's balanced, moral center: a super-chic New York dude who understands bouncer pathology and door etiquette.
		The film's bouncer twins (fans of tan beds and Sylvester Stallone) play football together but can't even catch the ball.
		Still, there is a strange loopiness to the film's otherwise empty space.

	:: rogerebert.com :: Reviews :: Freeway (xhtml)
		That is the lesson (if it has a lesson) of ``Freeway,'' a dark comic excursion into deranged pathology.
		And ``Freeway'' isn't about what happens as much as it is about Bright's angle on the material; this is like a story based on the most disquieting and disgusting experiences of the most hapless guests on the sleaziest daytime talk shows.
		``Freeway'' is a hard-edged satire of those sensational true-crime reports that excite the prurient with detailed recreations of unspeakable events.

	Gerald Peary - film reviews - Alice and Martin
		Critic Robin Wood has made a persuasive case that the greatest films – Alfred Hitchcock's Marnie, John Ford's The Searchers, for example – are cathartic and salutary, moving from darkness to hope, from pathology and dysfunction to some evidence of mental health.
		But she holds on, until (a long flashback), he confesses his secret: he'd murdered his father, though the death was ruled accidental, by pushing the mean old man down a stairs.
		The movie opens at his age ten, when Martin is shuffled from the comforting home of his single mom (Pedro Almodovar's Carmen Maura) to the estate of his gruff, hard, capitalist dad (Pierre Maguelon).

		The cop we first took to be a superhero thus becomes a second villain whose progression from tainted reputation to criminal corruption parallels the pathology of the original perpetrator of the crime.
		But then the relevance of the whole portentous film is consistently in doubt.
		The film's psychology sits uneasily within an unconvincing picture of police procedure.

	Peeping Tom
		Re-released in a new print at the Brattle, Peeping Tom remains a disturbing masterpiece of film psychology and pathology -- a critique and vindication of the century's foremost compulsion and art form, and a suspenseful, mordantly witty, ultimately moving entertainment.
		Cinema as sublimated sexual aggression and death wish, the camera as phallus, photography as violation, and film as ritualized voyeurism -- or as a jolly psychiatrist describes it later in the film, "scoptophilia -- the morbid gaze."
		In addition to prostitutes, aspiring actresses fill his bill, such as sportive Vivian (Moira Shearer, the doomed dancer in The Red Shoes, in a sinister allusion), an understudy on the film -- titled The Walls Are Closing In -- that Mark is working on at the studio.

	Cinema Confidential Review: Get Carter (2000)
		This is a big problem when so much of the film unfolds around the root of her pathology.
		The result is an inconsistency between what the film tells us about the scene and the way it actually plays out.
		But even though his expressions are a little more brooding, his eyes a little more blood shot and his face a little more bloated than usual, he can't seem to solidly swing the anti-hero persona in the way it has to be swung to make a film like this really work.

	Physical Therapy / Editor's Note
		If Livingston and Evans (who wrote the Doris Day song) were right about "what will be, will be," we would not be dieting, exercising, taking cholesterol-lowering drugs, or engaging in a variety of activities to prevent pathology as well as primary and secondary disability.
		What Will Be, Won't Necessarily Be The 1956 Hitchock film The Man Who Knew Too Much featured a Doris Day song so saccharine-sweet that the very memory of it makes me want to increase my insulin levels.
		Much of those resources are funded by overtaxed insurance systems and supported emotionally by families already traumatized by the patient's initial injury.

		Even then the stench would remain." And so it has, hardly touched by the different kind of stink made by a film like 8MM.
		In its first few minutes, Michael Powell's regaled and reviled 1960 film Peeping Tom composes, among other achievements, a trenchant essay in film theory.

	MMI Movie Review: Shattered Glass
		In the end, Shattered Glass is more about the pathology of one particular liar than the hallowed ground of the Fifth Estate, and that's why the film stayed with me. Christensen is supported by a meaty cast, although Hank Azaria, Chloe Sevigny, Steve Zahn and Rosario Dawson have little to sink their teeth into.
		At the age of 24, Stephen Glass was an associate editor for the New Republic, which the film reminds us more than once was dubbed "the in-flight magazine of Air Force One." He was also freelancing for George, Harper's and Rolling Stone.
		Based on a true story the film stays respectfully close to the Vanity Fair article by Buzz Bissnger on which it was based.

	Witchfinder General
		Reeves' subject is in many ways situated within the pathology of his own audience; the peculiar need and taste for supernatural belief that links the modern taste for Freddy Krueger with the 17th century audience for the public execution of witches.
		Reeves almost seems to have an unfashionable agreement with the premises of the moral panic surrounding the film's release.
		The only supernatural component in Reeves' film is contained within the frightened social imagination of Civil War England and in the rhetoric of the witch-finders.

	Research Associates
		Lise Wilkinson’s research interests are in the history of medicine and veterinary medicine, particularly ideas concerning transmissible diseases of humans and animals, with reference to virology and virus diseases, and to consequent development of comparative medicine and pathology.
		In the first of these two areas of research, he is putting together a thematically coherent collection of essays tracing the broad development of medical and health-related film and television production and highlighting the value of archival medical films as source-materials for the history of health and medicine in the twentieth century.
		His current research focusses on two very different subject-areas – archival medical film and history, and Anglo-Irish medico-legal relations from the Act of Union (1801) to independence and beyond.

		The first, Chuck and Buck, is a film at least as strange as this one, involving two guys who were friends in childhood, through some serious pathology forward to their adult lives.
		This is the second low budget independent film collaboration for director Miguel Arteta and Screen writer Mike White.
		There are some extremely interesting things that happen in this film, and I believe it would be worth a look, if you have avoided it so far.

		The contemporary police/gangster film Infernal Affair s centers around two duplicitous characters.
		This third and final installment of Hong Kong's most ambitious blockbuster franchise takes place a year after the period of this first film with equal time given to flashbacks taking place a few years prior.

	M (Bfi Film Classics)
		It is one of the first film about serial killers, and already Lang goes beyond depicting the pathology of such criminal; what M examines is the pathology of 20th century modern society.
		For further reading I would encourage people to do a websearch on Fritz Haarman or Peter Kurten the actual serial killers the plot was loosely based on.
		The book is well written, hard to put down, and it really compliments the movie experience without either watering it down or making it too cerebral.

	Europa Europa Movie: Europa Europa DVD is available from Bestprices.com
		It was about social justice, while Nazism was clearly a pathology from the beginning." Holland talks with Amy Taubin about her film "Europa Europa." -- Sight & Sound, 11/1993
		A true story based on the remarkable autobiography of Soloman Perel, this film details the events of his life as a Jewish boy in World War II Europe as he undergoes an odyssey for survival over the period 1938-1945.
		Agnieszka Holland’s EUROPA EUROPA is the fascinating fact-based story of Solomon Perel (Marco Hofschneider), a German Jew who survived the Holocaust by concealing his identity, literally within enemy ranks.

	Breaking the Waves
		With blanched color and Robbie Müller's handheld cinéma-vérité photography von Trier literally thrusts the film's over-the-top passions and pathology in your face, making Breaking the Waves an uncompromising immersion in obsession and an overwhelming emotional workout that is ultimately a religious experience.
		It may well be the most draining and rewarding film of the year.
		She upsets her closed-minded fundamentalist neighbors by marrying Jan (Stellan Skarsgård), a foreign worker on one of the offshore oil rigs, and, when he is paralyzed in an accident, further alienates them when she tries to cure him by sleeping with other men and telling him about them.

	BOYS DON'T CRY - DVD
		The film lacks texture: Brandon Teena may not have considered himself a complex human being, but his gender morph made him so and warrants an interpretation with greater, better-defined motives; only the pathology of the trailer trash villains registers with any clarity here.
		The filmmakers want to martyr Brandon and are too afraid of undermining his innocence; in the name of tragic romance, Brandon's tempestuous past is glossed over--I wonder why they alluded to it all.
		Somewhat gallingly, the film's unsettling, protracted climax seems to come at the expense of Brandon's backstory, as if the drifter's untimely death, and not the life before it, is what attracted Peirce to the project.

	slant // magazine.com: DVD Review - Man on Fire
		Scott dawdles his way through the drawn-out prologue, which is all the more frustrating considering the film's unmistakable interest in festishizing Creasy's vicious torture of the Mexican lowlifes (known as "The Brotherhood") involved in Pita's abduction.
		Scott's increasingly showy cinematographic sensibilities tend toward the ephemeral and shallow, making it nearly impossible to find meaning amidst his films' chaos.
		On his solo commentary track, Tony Scott reveals the pathology of his exoticizing aesthetic in expert if not wholly unconscious fashion—if you believe the world is your playground, then this track is certainly for you!

	rimric folio Hitchcock's Vertigo, by Phil Landon
		For the vertigo effect in the bell tower (and elsewhere in the film), he finally hit upon the idea of dollying the camera away from the stairs (which meant physically pulling the camera away) while simultaneously zooming the lens in on them.
		Vertigo is about just such attempts to realize an ideal image and to capture an illusion, using its main character's obsessive pathology to convey this theme.
		At the film's opening, Scottie loses his footing while chasing a suspect over rooftops, falls, and hangs over the street below, suspended only by a sagging rain gutter.

	extrasonic: November 2003 Archives
		Oberon came out of the surgery like a champ, but we were informed by the vet afterward that while there were some very tiny stones in his bladder, there was a thickening of his bladder wall in one area, and that a biopsy was taken and sent to a veterinary pathology lab for analysis.
		Finally, two of our largest categories were split up - "books" was split into "books" and "comics" (complete with an icon straight out of Detective Comics #27), and "film / tv" was split into (you guessed it) "film" and "tv".
		We were still concerned about Oberon's age, but at this point he was between 9 and 10 months old and we didn't have any other options, so we chose to have the surgery performed.
