 In this issue

Our August issue celebrates the double bill - we ask 52 critics and programmers to nominate their fantasy pairings. Meanwhile with the dominance of comic-book films this summer, Roger Sabin asks what the creators of comics will do when the adaptation boom ends. In the second part of our David Lean celebration, Nick James examines the director's epic films while Ginette Vincendeau explores the resurgence of the French family drama and Oliver Assayas discusses his new film, Summer Hours.
