Explore New Horror Faces and Timeless Art in Latest Issue

The latest issue of Objektiv delves into a variety of topics, from the emergence of new horror talents like Itan Hok to the artistic treasures of Dublin. This edition features exclusive interviews, film reviews, and significant anniversaries that will intrigue both art and cinema enthusiasts.

Among the highlights is an interview with Aleksandar Radivojević, the writer behind the controversial film “Srpski film.” His directorial debut, “Karmadonna,” premiered at the Toronto Film Festival and has since garnered accolades for both direction and screenplay at the Sydney Film Festival. This marks a significant milestone in Radivojević’s career, showcasing his transition from writing to directing.

In the realm of horror, the issue examines the release of “Black Phone 2,” a sequel that many consider unnecessary yet draws attention due to its connection with Hok’s rising fame. The publication also features the third installment of its stories from Ireland, which includes a stroll through Dublin’s galleries. Among the artistic highlights are works by Caravaggio, Titian, Rembrandt, Van Gogh, and Monet, but the spotlight shines on the impeccably preserved studio of Francis Bacon.

Anime fans will find excitement in the section dedicated to the hit series “Gachiakuta,” which has captivated audiences with its rich narrative set in a world of waste. This series is being touted as a potential key title in this year’s shonen genre.

The issue also critiques “The Woman in Cabin 10,” describing it as a fundamentally shallow adaptation featuring an irritating performance by Kira Knightley. Readers can also embark on a journey to Alaska through the series “The Last Frontier,” which has drawn criticism for being overly stretched and lacking in entertainment value, despite its ideological undercurrents.

Additionally, the publication celebrates the 25th anniversary of Pi Jey Harvey‘s coming-of-age album “Stories from the City, Stories from the Sea,” and reflects on the enduring impact of Linkin Park’s groundbreaking album “Hybrid Theory.” The issue also covers the London Film Festival, where it tracked films and panels featuring renowned director Richard Linklater.

A notable reflection includes the film “Mrtvi grad” by Velimir Stojanović, recognized as the first work of Montenegrin cinema to secure a major international award over 70 years ago.

This comprehensive edition promises a blend of horror, art, and music, making it a must-read for anyone interested in contemporary culture. Readers can access issue 494 online. Enjoy!
