Director warns of ‘very serious moment’ for film industry in attack that echoes Martin Scorsese’s takedown of superhero movies
The director Joanna Hogg has sounded a warning on the future of arthouse cinema in a call to arms that saw her attack a “certain kind of cinema” for being “homogenised” and lacking passion.
Hogg, whose most recent film, The Souvenir, won a Grand Jury prize at the Sundance film festival, was speaking at a screening in
London on Tuesday of a freshly restored silent film, and echoed Martin Scorsese’s recent attacked on superhero films.
