It’s been a long month with many big life changes happening since this year’s BFI London Film Festival, but I couldn’t resist reporting back on what was a particularly successful festival. 60 years of bringing the best of world cinema to London masses, the Festival felt the need to go large or go home. And … Continue reading
(There currently isn’t an official trailer – that’s how exclusive this film is.) Saving my in-depth analysis for my favourite film that I saw at Cannes. I need to stress that there were many great films that I didn’t get to see – this was the best of what I saw. AFTER LOVE for me … Continue reading
https://youtu.be/KhvyupqNhL8 I could rightly be called a charlatan in making this admission but do know I aim to rectify this current state in the immediate future – I am loathed to admit that I have never seen a Walt Stillman film. After LOVE & FRIENDSHIP, this will soon change. Thoroughly charming in every way, … Continue reading
The Baftas are on tonight! And I feel a little bit warmer towards them than I do the Oscars (I will explain my reasoning next week), so here’s a quick round-up of nominations. I’ve selected in Pink who MIGHT win and GREEN for who I would like to win because it’s all about me and … Continue reading
While reading the beautifully melancholic but hopeful Patricia Highsmith pulp classic, The Price Of Salt a few years ago, I had a passing thought that this would be the perfect Todd Haynes venture – an apt follow-up in some respects to one of the most graceful odes to the 1950s era, Far From Heaven. His … Continue reading
Frank Oz’s LITTLE SHOP OF HORRORS brings back fond memories of watching this as a child (although I had the theatrical version with the distinctly happier ending) and while nearly decades ( yes decades) have passed since I last saw it, I can still sing nearly word perfect at least three of the songs – the titular … Continue reading
WARNING: SPOILERS AHEAD. So if you don’t want it ruined then I recommend you go watch the film and come back here. From its opening credits it’s obvious that the audience is about to see something…different. Eye-catching credits to perfumery and lingerie in indulgent velvety fonts sets the tone of what’s to come. Or so one would … Continue reading
Love Is Strange.
Wonderful drama starring john Lithgow and Alfred Molina Continue reading
– What could possibly cause a potential aneurysm just by sitting down for two hours? The film WHIPLASH of course! Electrifyingly kinetic from performance to edit, every moment is intimately indicative of the suffocating world of obsession as Whiplash tells the story of music student (Miles Teller) and his fractious relationship with toxic mentor ( JK Simmons). In my … Continue reading
Seems like only yesterday I was thinking about the film goodness I consumed in 2013, so it’s a little disconcerting that the time has come around again so quickly. 2014 has been a good year for film in my opinion. I think it has more to do that because the last year has been decidedly … Continue reading
