'Abel Ferrara' Book Launch

On the 21st of March Edward Colless launched Adrian Martin's translation of Nicole Brenez's Abel Ferrara (illinois University Press 2007). A crowd of friends and staff of Film and Television Studies at Monash were witness to Edward's extraordinary appraisals of both Nicole's authorship and Adrian's translation and Nicole Brenez herself e-mailed her appreciation to Adrian which was read out by Deane Williams. The launch was followed by a rare screening of Ferrara's Mary (2005) accompanied by wine and food. The launch was very successful with all available copies of Abel Ferrara selling. More copies have been ordered by the Monash Bookshop.

Update:

Commenters both here and in digg have complained about the accuracy of the list (not including IJ4 and ….).As I mentioned in the post this list is prepared by Yahoo.The only thing I’ve done is gathering some info from IMDB and finding official trailers from YouTube.But about the phrase “As we look back into 2007, we didn’t have many remarkable movies” this is just my opinion and your movie taste may be different from mine.Maybe I should have replaced “We” with “I”
