Cambridge Film Festival 2004 This is one of those films which I find hard to evaluate on one viewing. It's an intriguing analysis of a peaceable, lonely young...
I do find that as I have thought about it more after the film, there are a lot of logical elements that begin to unravel, although I'm perhaps being unduly...
Cambridge Film Festival 2004 Special guest: Marilou Berry A film which mixes natural, unforced comedy with real depth of characterisation. Lolita is trapped at...
Cambridge Film Festival 2004 If only for its cinematography, this is a pretty amazing film. Christopher Doyle has done a fantastic job. But there is so much ...

Yes saw a review of this on a Friday's (a few weeks back) Newsnight late review. This seemed to be made in a typical 'Michael Moore' style. In the interview...
Cambridge Film Festival 2004 Typical Jarmusch that he has the audacity to make a film consisting of coffee table conversations. It's a very strange brew, but...
