METROPOLIS

Ahead of the print edition available from Monday 19th July, Issue 9 of The Big Picture Magazine is now available to download and enjoy in all its glory. Themed around the re-release of Five Easy Pieces, Director Bob Rafelson’s seminal portrait of a disaffected America, the issue explores the Road Movie as both a literal and metaphorical journey.

Along with the usual roundup of classic film posters, features include a photo essay on Neon lit cinemas of the great American mid-west, a location focus on the iconic Route 66, 1000 words on how Bonnie and Clyde became the catalyst for Hollywood’s Second Golden Age and a pictoral look back at the Haiti Kids Kino Project set up by Bristol’s Cube cinema.

By Gabriel Solomons

Gabriel's earliest cinematic memory was believing a man could fly in Richard Donner's original (and best) Superman. Following numerous failed attempts at pursuing a career as a caped crusader (mild vertigo didn't help), he subsequently settled down into the far safer – but infinitely less exciting – world of editorial design. A brief stint at the Independent newspaper in London sharpened his skills but cemented his desire to escape the big smoke forever, choosing to settle in the west country. He set up the arts and culture magazine 'Decode' in 2003 and currently edits and art directs the Big Picture magazine. When asked by mates what his favourite film is he replies The Big Lebowski while when in the presence of film afficianados he goes all poncy and says Fellini's 8 1/2.
