In this very belated April 2025 edition of Film Filings we have reviews of Soderbergh’s latest, Carl Franklin’s 1992 neo-noir One False Move reviewed by Chris Witty, Nathan Gilmore’s Sunday Reviews, and Sam Stephens investigates the filmic joy of a bad 1948 classic.

This edition of Film Filings is four film reviews, and a special invitation to those cinephiles out there who have seen--or wish to see--the astounding silent film masterpiece 'The Passion of Joan of Arc'. We are looking for thoughtful and well-written short reviews to publish this coming May. See 'Film Filings' article for full details.

This edition of Film Filings covers: a Jean Renoir theater experience at Nashville’s Belcourt Theater, my film-viewing habits of the last four months, an excursion in British Folk Horror with Christopher Witty in the U.K., Nathan Gilmore’s reviews of two European classics, and a peek at a cool film that is now in production!

“The Bagheeta [...] will change at his coming into a beautiful woman and attempt to coerce him into an embrace. If she is successful, if the youth kisses her, his life is forfeited. Changing again into a black leopard, the Bagheeta will tear him limb from limb.”

– From ‘The Bagheeta,' a story by Val Lewton published in Weird Tales, July 1930.
