This is the letter from Rajko Radovic of Toronto.

‘One does not read Iain Sinclair’s ‘M: Murder in the City’ (Sight & Sound, April 2010), one watches it like a just uncovered underground feature. At the end of every line is a cinematic cue after which comes a new moving image. And it all plays like a well documented dream sequence. Projected against the deliciously weird black hangings of a film essay, it turns the casual reader into a screening device for the mind’s eye’s pleasure.
I would just hope that there is yet a visionary producer left afloat on top of that toxic shroud we call the British film industry who would lock Mr Sinclair in what’s left of Pinewood Studios and give him free rein to turn ‘M: Murder in the city’ into some kind of delirium inducing political punk thriller with big bucks.’

best,

Iain
