"A fast, complex, exhilarating roadster ride through history and time.... Kino is an intoxicating Euro-brew, written with enormous skill and dedication." — Frederick Barthelme

"Jürgen Fauth's deft mashup of genre and historical period is both a full-throttle literary thriller of ideas and a contemplative examination of film and fascism. Kino is a debut of great intellectual force."– Teddy Wayne

"A surprising alternative history. Kino brings the golden age of German cinema to light with loving, sometimes gritty, detail and great precision." – Neal Pollack, author of Jewball.

"A delirious melange of conspiracy, magic, sex, history, bad behavior, and cinema, Kino is a stellar entertainment, and Jürgen Fauth is a writer of rare, sinister imagination." – Owen King, author of Reenactment

"A light-hearted romp that leads straight into darkness and back through the shadows on the wall."– Ben Loory, author of Stories for Nighttime and Some for the Day

"Movie nuts arise! A happy and felicitous debut."– Terese Svoboda

Southland Tales

Goldwyn has asked for an embargo on reviews until the week of release, so at this point there’s not much I can tell you about Richard Kelly’s follow-up to Donnie Darko. If you see me around town though, buy me a beer and I’ll let you know exactly what I think.

David Hudson rounds up the devastating reactions from Cannes; Kelly has since cut 19 minutes from the the apocalyptic romp and added a bunch of special effects. Starring Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Seann William Scott, Mandy Moore, Sarah Michelle Gellar, Curtis Armstrong, Cheri Oteri, Justin Timerblake, Jon Lovitz, Bai Ling, Kevin Smith, Miranda Richardson, Amy Poehler and Wallace Shawn. Southland Tales will open on November 14.
