since its release, the killing of america has surfaced in different, condensed versions and renan laments that his original cut, which he says featured more “elegiac” passages that helped break up the film’s darkness, has mostly been unseen in recent years. even then, though, renan admits that the killing of america, in any incarnation, “is a little bit of a sledgehammer. [ schrader and yamamoto ] did not want me, in any way, to mediate or make it a do - gooder thing. ”

renan’s reaction to making the killing of america was merely a precursor to the public response. when the film had its premiere at l. a. ’s nuart theatre in 1981, renan estimates that a third of the audience walked out. “they didn’t realize what kind of impact it was going to have, ” he says, looking back at the screening. even though plenty of the footage was already familiar to people by that time, like zapruder’s capturing of jfk’s killing, “it hadn’t been put together [ in that way ]. ”

events may unfold at about the same pace in the two shows, but they seem to move faster and more chaotically in “the killing. ” whether it’s the luxury of longer episodes or simply a matter of style, “forbrydelsen” is full of interrogations, briefings and discussions that impart information and guide us through the story. “the killing” reduced many of these scenes to curt exchanges or off - hand remarks delivered in passing .

london – august 23, 2017 – filming has commenced on bbc america’s all - new eight - part thriller, killing eve, penned by phoebe waller - bridge and produced by sid gentle films ltd. based on the ‘villanelle’ novellas by luke jennings, killing eve follows two fiercely intelligent women – a psychopathic assassin and the woman charged with hunting her down. starring sandra oh (grey’s anatomy, sideways) and jodie comer (the white princess, thirteen), the series – a combination of brutal mischief making and pathos – is filled with sharp humor, originality and high stakes action. killing eve is filming on locations including paris, tuscany, berlin and london and will debut on bbc america in 2018 .
the us murder rate has thankfully halved since 1982, but many of the social blights the film identifies remain pressing concerns in the united states today, from school shootings to unlicensed firearms. now that even the killing of america’s most searing images pale in comparison to those available on a litany of shock sites, a film once known for its sensationalism comes off as surprisingly level - headed .
the first comparison to be made between the two shows is a simple matter of mathematics. season 1 of “forbrydelsen” consisted of 20 episodes, each close to 58 minutes long (without commercials). season 1 of “the killing” comprised 13 american - length episodes of about 45 minutes each — roughly half the total running time of the danish season .
during the two years renan and his team were putting together the killing of america, new high - profile shootings would occasionally occur, including lennon’s assassination and the attempt on reagan’s life the following year. “it’s like, ‘you can’t keep up with it, ’” renan remembers thinking. “but it’s one of those things that tells you that you’re doing the right thing. ”

now with its release on dvd and blu - ray, a 35 - year - old movie no longer seems dated or forgotten. from its footage of then - president lyndon johnson making an appeal for sensible gun legislation to the scenes of shattered onlookers reacting to mass shootings or tense hostage situations, the killing of america feels like it could have been made yesterday—it’s only the names and the massacres that have changed .
renan put the killing of america experience behind him, eventually losing his only vhs copy of the movie, but the film itself didn’t vanish. beyond its success in japan, which renan bases partly on that audience’s attraction to the movie’s gruesome spectacle, the documentary also began to develop a following in australia—a country, it’s worth pointing out, that banned semiautomatic weapons in 1996, all but ending gun murders in that land. when renan flew from portland to los angeles to be interviewed for electric boogaloo, the 2014 documentary about cannon films, he discovered from the australian crew that “it turns out that [ the killing of america ] is this huge sleeper in australia. every college kid has seen it. most dorm rooms have a copy. ”
in the first 80 years of the 20th century america has had more than a million murders, more than all her fatalities in all her wars. no place seems safe not even the street; no person feels safe not even the president. not long ago the american dream seemed to come true: big cars, big houses, big everything. but not everyone could get an equal share of the dream. though it seemed impossible they existed side by side - america the beautiful and america the violent. the turning point was november 22, 1963, the day the american dream of freedom was wedded to the american nightmare of murder, the day when john kennedy was assassinated .

naturally, in that light, it was only a matter of time before lanthimos came to the united states of america, a place that spent 2016 swinging the pendulum between logic and emotion and eventually settled on madness. america is a place where lanthimos’ wry provocations have been enacted on a mass scale, where “dogtooth” has become less of a metaphor for the way we live now than a precocious abstraction of a country that’s been lied to and left to self - harm. in other words, “ the killing of a sacred deer ” has to up the ante, and it does. this is lanthimos’ most scattered and sedate film, but it’s his scariest as well .
taking as its central thesis the idea that the united states has an irrepressible systemic tendency towards violence, the film (and its almost laughably stern voiceover) offers a whistle - stop tour of more or less every terrible thing that happened in the country throughout the 60s and 70s. cinematic agit - prop at its most overt, the killing of america surveys assassinations, spree killings and death cults in a sustained attempt to bludgeon its audience over the head with the us’s sheer ugliness .

the british board of film censors took a dim view of the genre, initially banning and later censoring its first entry, 1962’s mondo cane. the notorious 1978 compilation faces of death (warning, contains grim footage), meanwhile, wound up on the british government’s infamous list of prohibited “video nasties”. even the genre’s most (grudgingly) critically respected work, 1982’s the killing of america, wasn’t submitted to the board until two decades after its completion, making this week’s release of a restored version on blu - ray, dvd and vod a rare opportunity to see the film in all its disquieting glory .

that so many of the film’s grisliest sights are now available to view online may dampen its impact, but it also strengthens the killing of america’s argument that grotesque violence has become so culturally routine as to be almost unremarkable. most haunting are the spectacularly gruesome events that time has still somehow managed to forget. one genuinely unbelievable sequence tells the obscure story of tony kiritsis, an indiana man who, in 1977, attached a sawed - off shotgun to the head of his mortgage broker and then held a press conference .

the economy is collapsing; government employees have not been paid for months; prices for food and fuel have skyrocketed; half the country' s health facilities are closed and a raging cholera epidemic is killing hundreds .
in the course of those 13 episodes the american show departed in many details from the original. but the similarities between the two — in premise, cast of characters and broad outline of the story — were much more pronounced. watching “forbrydelsen” it’s clear that despite the hedging comments of the american producers, it was ordained that “the killing” would not solve its mystery in one season, and that it would need a full second season to wrap things up .
excellent book, connects the events leading to the decline of our standard of living, and who is behind this degrading of humanity .
initially, the killing of america sets up the narrative that the american dream and violence are wedded to one another and, given that the documentary focuses primarily on the 20th century, that the two were married when president kennedy was shot in november of 1963. it’s an interesting proposition, but one that refuses to acknowledge less contemporary events (at least to its time of making), such as the two world wars, the assassinations of earlier presidents, the country’s civil war, early 20th century gangsters and so on. it’s reductive because it favours the narrative that the filmmakers want you to process, which makes for an entertaining movie but inevitably reduces its argument’s legitimacy .
i’ve been reading all of the news and reaction to alaska airlines plans to euthanize the virgin america brand, likely by 2019. i, too, have been struck with emotion about this news breaking. but out of the dozen pieces i’ve read, no one seems to share the same reception as mine .
killing ground in a thriller from australia, a camping couple encounter an empty tent and a child wandering without his parents. from the trailer, it looks as if they stumbled onto a crime in progress .
holmes & apos; life as one of america & apos; s first serial killers has been the subject of many books and documentaries, including the devil in the white city (2003), by erik larson. the book is in the process of being adapted for the big screen, with hollywood heavyweights martin scorsese and leonardo dicaprio tapped to direct and star, respectively .
but the chronicling of actual killing took its toll on the filmmakers. “a lot of the things that i did on this film seriously messed me up, ” says renan with a rueful chuckle, recalling his time going through the los angeles coroner’s office’s files, even observing autopsies. “it’s hard to explain, ” he says of the experience of compiling the footage for the film. “it just really made part of you go dead. i basically had, like, ptsd. ”
, while chuck riley' s sonorous narration gives background information while also occasionally offering brief data points as to how many guns were in america at the time of the documentary' s making (i' m sure the numbers have only increased exponentially in the intervening decades) .
based on the novellas by luke jennings, bbca’s killing eve centers on two women; eve is a bored, whip - smart, pay - grade security services operative whose desk - bound job doesn’t fulfill her fantasies of being a spy. villanelle is an elegant, talented killer who clings to the luxuries her violent job affords her. killing eve topples the typical spy - action thriller as these two fiercely intelligent women, equally obsessed with each other, go head to head in an epic game of cat and mouse .
last june the first season of “the killing” on amc ended without a bang. a gun was pointed at a murder suspect’s head, and then there was a quick cut to the credits. the explosion came later, when complaints poured in that the show had failed to solve the season - long mystery the network had advertised with the teasing slogan “who killed rosie larsen? ”
america does stand out amongst the' industrialised',' developed' nations as a pretty grim and dangerous country. in that sense it' s quite a dark place; comparing apples with apples .
it was just another day in america. and as befits an unremarkable saturday, 10 children and teens were killed by gunfire. they died in altercations at gas stations, accidents in bedrooms, standing on stairwells and walking down the street, in gangland hits and by mistaken identity. like the weather, none of them would make the national news because, like the weather, their deaths did not disturb the accepted order of things. every day, on average, seven children and teens are killed by guns in america. firearms are the leading cause of death among black children under 19, and the second greatest cause of death for all children of the same age, after car accidents .
after several weeks of outrunning authorities, holmes was finally apprehended in november 1894. during his time in custody, he gave numerous stories to police, once admitting to killing 27 people. convicted in 1895, holmes appealed his case but lost .
in his 2015 book, between the world and me, ta - nehisi coates writes to his son about the danger to black bodies in america, and about the sting of his own father’s leather belt, which was the result of his fear of what might befall his son in the face of such dangers. this is a world that younge also explores as he writes of the “cocoon world” in which black parents try to wrap their children in the hope of keeping them safe. and yet in the impoverished communities where most of these victims exist, younge shows how this effort is often fruitless .
while rothenberg did not say all of west virginians talked funny or were uneducated, the implication of “a lot of” hits home here .
there are images of strong real violence, including an image of a man being shot in the head. there are also verbal references to the violent acts of a number of serial killers .
doesn’t leave the audience with a rousing call to action, or an uplifting end - credits song. the best you’ll get is “imagine” playing over footage from the public memorial service after john lennon’s 1980 killing, with a note that two people were shot during the vigil. what’s remarkable about
the second was that if you really wanted to know the answer, or an answer, all you had to do was watch “forbrydelsen, ” the danish show on which “the killing” was based. it revealed who killed nanna birk larsen, rosie’s european antecedent, way back in 2007 .
it’s an exercise i recommend, even if you have no interest in “the killing. ” season 1 of “forbrydelsen” is excellent, if conventional, television in its own right. it’s easy to understand why the show has been a hit around the world in its original form. and if you are, or were, a fan of the american series, watching its forerunner will give you a better understanding of the challenges involved in the adaptation .

“he wanted to turn the audience into murderers, ” renan says of schrader, who died in 2006 at the age of 62. “he wanted [ viewers ] to recognize that in themselves, ostensibly so that they would do something about it. ” later in our conversation, renan makes the point another way: “everybody thinks about killing people, in their mind. and everybody is guilty of all kinds of transgressions, in their mind .
sandra oh has the ability to go from wrenching to funny to total mess with a genius lightness of touch. phoebe’s vision is absolutely original, and sandra is utterly perfect casting we think for this key role ,
bbc america president sarah barnett said .
renan himself hadn’t seen the movie for years until he attended a recent screening. he was amazed how well the killing of america held up. and he still believes the movie’s value is in its asking of questions and its insistence that we take a hard look at how we’ve come to accept violence in our culture. what once was disdained as a cheap exploitation film now feels terribly prescient, and startlingly vital and urgent. “naiveté is a very poor strategy for survival, ” renan says about his film. “it’s better to know what things really are. ”
shocking and eye - opening, the killing of america is a documentary that has taken too long to make it to our screens, not necessarily because of its quality as a story - telling device, nor necessarily for the political angle its filmmaker’s have presented, but more because of the truth of the story that makes this at once relevant to its intended early 80s release date audience and indeed our contemporary landscape. this movie may have been banned from release in 1981, but chieko & leonard schrader’s documentary passion project has finally managed to find distribution and, like any good documentary, still successfully entices an audience and questions their moral values and principles all at once .
no wonder then that, underneath the paranoia and shock that reverberate through the killing of america, there’s also curiosity, even sadness, about the unspoken connection between americans’ thirst for violence and the easy availability of powerful weapons. “ [ violence ] is a discussion which is part of the american character—that’s how deep it is, ” renan says. “we have done terrible things in building this country, and then we paper over it. we don’t think about it. we don’t think about the violence that we ourselves experience and grow up in. we don’t think about the fact that at least one in every four women is raped. it’s just astounding what we don’t think about. ”
stereotypes are peculiar things. they make targets out of those who are different, be it in language or traditions. and it appears appalachia remains the last minority population in america for which it is socially acceptable to question intelligence, speech pattern, the way people dress. their uniqueness .
this is not an unforeseen or coincidental result of forces beyond our control ,
o' brien said .
it is a direct consequence of actions of the parties and supporters of the conflict .
four years ago, for a moment, there was considerable interest in the fact that large numbers of americans were being fatally shot. on 14 december 2012, 20 - year - old adam lanza shot his mother, then drove to sandy hook elementary school and shot 20 small children and six staff dead. mass shootings comprise a small proportion of gun violence, but they disturb america’s self - image in a way that the daily torrent of gun deaths does not. “seeing the massacre of so many innocent children … it’s changed america, ” said the democrat senator joe manchin, who championed a tepid gun - control bill. “we’ve never seen this happen. ”
jimenez has faced a barrage of criticism since the publication of his book and has had readings to promote the book boycotted. jimenez claims, however, that many of his critics have not actually read it. the advocate, america’s leading lgbt magazine, published a piece last year entitled: “why i’m not reading the ‘trutherism’ about matt shepard”. jimenez has been accused of being a revisionist, a criticism usually reserved for extreme rightwing ideologues that deny the holocaust, and labelled a homophobe .

so while many are upset about the idea of, at worst, their ticket prices going up thirty bucks or fewer flying options out of their local airport, there are virgin america employees literally in tears wondering about their future, how they will put food on the table, and what the heck happened to their loved brand that they worked so hard for .
could history’s two most notorious killers actually be the same man? jeff mudgett, great - great - grandson of america’s first serial killer and expert con man, h. h. holmes, and ex - cia operative amaryllis fox team up to investigate the theory that holmes was britain’s infamous murderer, jack the ripper .
the jack the ripper letters contain an unexpected link to h. h. holmes; scotland yard’s list of credible suspects uncovers a key detail of the manhunt; and eyewitness accounts reveal the face of a killer .
its absolutely disturbing how some of these people believed that they were doing the right thing by killing others, and how some found it amusing to do so. i liked the documentary though because it did shed some light as to why these people did what they did even though some of their reasoning are just not right. that' s just my opinion though .
audio commentary with director sheldon renan is available on the english version of the film .
the first ever u. s. release of perhaps the most controversial documentary in history
from fleabag creator phoebe waller - bridge, killing eve is a dramatic thriller that revolves around a psychopathic assassin and the woman charged with hunting her down. the eight - episode drama, picked up to series in november, will debut at a date to be determined in 2018 .
having watched the full first season of “forbrydelsen” doesn’t necessarily mean that i know where the second season of “the killing” is going to go, let alone who’s going to end up being the killer. but assuming that the american show continues to track the danish series in a general way, it’s safe to say that season 2 will be quite a bit more violent than season 1, with several characters, perhaps major ones, joining rosie larsen on the obituary page before the mystery is solved .
“the killing” has all of those elements, but they couldn’t play out and build in a linear fashion over the course of 20 hours as they do in “forbrydelsen. ” the danish show can get a bit slow and melodramatic at points — and clarity of structure does not make implausible coincidences more believable, it just makes them more obvious — but it offers a kind of formal, old - school satisfaction that the jumpier, more cryptic (as opposed to more mysterious) american adaptation has lacked .

the stories that younge has uncovered are often sensational but he tells them without hyperbole and accompanies them with an analysis that lays bare the reality of being black and poor in america: in the everyday existence, for example, of the need for local organisations such as mothers of murdered offspring, or in the matter - of - fact presentation of the more than 20% of children in chicago public schools who, in 2012, are said to have witnessed a shooting, or in the disclosure that african americans are six times more likely to be incarcerated, twice as likely to be unemployed, and almost three times more likely to live in poverty than whites .

tends to get a pretty intense public airing during election season, not to mention every time another mass shooting takes place, but for those of us who have been around awhile, the only mantra that seems to emerge from such discussions is

there' s a rather salient example of that maxim in
the biggest victims may be the people that have been wearing the virgin america nametag. there have already been some layoffs, but nothing in the news is making mention of whether more will head out the door. “in an airline merger, it’s common for most non - operations management employees at the acquired airline to be laid off. though some of the folks on virgin america’s marketing and product teams may end up at alaska, i expect most will not, ” says henry harteveldt, travel industry analyst at atmosphere research group. when an airline brand is sent out to pasture, there are often layoffs, requests of employees to move to another city, or others simply changing their clothes while they keep on keeping on, these are game changers that truly affect people’s livelihoods .

the need to readjust plotlines to fit into significantly shorter episodes was mirrored by the need for a season - ending climax at what represented the halfway point of the story. so it’s not surprising that the scene of belko, family friend and employee of the larsens, trying to assassinate the politician darren richmond was a wholesale addition, with no equivalent in the original. (the addition of the scene also suggests, for reasons that i won’t go into, that the american series might change the identity of the killer, a shift that wouldn’t be too difficult given the unusually large cast of characters and abundant red herrings. )
perhaps the most striking difference between the two productions is their respective emotional temperatures: danish cool versus american heat. not that there isn’t the same amount of grief, anger and shame in “forbrydelsen” as there is in “the killing”; it’s just expressed with greater reserve. the children who act out do so more politely; adults who scheme and fight do so with more compunction. some of this may be national temperament and some of it, again, may be the exigencies of short - season character development. as the victim’s mother, the danish pernille larsen starts out shell - shocked and gradually builds to anger while the american mitch larsen starts out in a rage and stays there .
look past the rage, though, and it becomes clear that winograd has an important case to make. in peta' s response to me, schinke wrote ,
winograd dishonestly and viciously attacks all open admission shelters, those that do not shut the door to any animal, even those for whom peaceful release is a mercy .
this is another way of saying that because peta accepts so many dire cases, cases in which euthanasia may very well be justified, it should be excused for killing over 99 percent of the animals under its care. winograd, however, argues persuasively that peta euthanizes far more than just the unadoptable cases. in the following excerpt from his blog, he reveals that newkirk admits to killing animals that are
adoptable

in an effort to reassure the public, the law established the assassination records review board to consider all decisions of whether to postpone the declassification of the records. by the time it concluded in 1998, the board had forced the release of thousands of previously secret documents from the cia, fbi, secret service and other federal agencies, as well as congressional investigations into the assassination. some of these documents showed that evidence had in fact been withheld from the warren commission, presumably to hide the failure to detect—and prevent—a plot to kill kennedy.
