Links to the movies:

Nightwatching (2007)

Drowning by Numbers (1988)

A Zed and Two Noughts (1985)

The Draughtsman’s Contract (1982)

This is really interesting. This film was shot on 16mm (so it is VERY grainy)!

Articles

The Draughtsman’s Contract

Here are three articles about the movie. These are not as interesting as the ones about Cook, Thief, but they may be interesting. The first is another short ArtForum review. That is a good magazine. The second one is from 2001, from something called “Sense of Cinema.” It’s okay. The third one is a long scholarly article from a professor at Yale. It might be interesting, but it is very esoteric, and I’m not sure it is as much about the movie itself as much as using the movie to make some other point about philosophy.
