it misses out a rather glaring fact - that the Mossad accidentally murdered a Moroccan waiter in Norway whom they thought was a 'terrorist'; why was it...
As Walk The Line is out this weekend, here is my review from this years London Film Festival, courtesy of http://www.gleeson0.demon.co.uk/index.htm Fine...
Hi all. I've been a member of the group for a while now and i've enjoyed reading everyones opinions on films and filmmaking. I've just set up a film website at...
Hi guys, just to let you know that I watched Harvey recently and It's great. You can check imdb for the synopsys. Basically, it used to be a very famous ...
Yes, Harvey is one of those classic films that are well worth revisiting. Did you watch the film on DVD? I just wondered what the picture quality is like -...
... I still have to check 'Lavender Hill Mob'... I was quite surprised. For once, it was in a dvd store that there were some advices. I noticed it because one...
David Strathairn gives a forceful performance as Edward R Murrow, the broadcast journalist who helped take on McCarthy. Here Murrow is self- contained,...
Hi Mike I saw this one myself on Saturday, and like you found a lot to commend about it. My one reservation was that it never (for me anyway) really conveyed...
At first, I thought Herzog was giving these people too easy a time of it. Treadwell, on the face of it a rather irritating fantasist, and his friends, are the...
Hi all, just joined the group so i thought i'd introduce myself and share thought on a couple of films i saw recently. I'm a Brit living in Beijing, and the...
This is a Russian movie about a father who one day suddenly reappears in the lives of his two sons 12 years after deserting them. He decides to take them on a...
Hi all, I have just joined the group and thought I would tell you a bit about myself and what films I enjoy. I adore film, now that's easy to say and I am sure...
Hi, and welcome to Film Talk UK. I enjoyed The Constant Gardener very much as well. Have you seen the director's first film 'City of God'? If not, I highly...
Hi Mike I've seen City Of God and thought that it was a superior film to The Constant Gardnener. Although The Constant Gardener was an important film that...
There are some thoroughly unpleasant characters in this film, but it still proves to be a funny and rewarding cinematic experience. It's partly because the...
Capote tells one character in this film that people tend to make assumptions about him - perhaps based on his distinctive dress, his strange high-pitched...
A satisfying and enjoyable meal of deep cynicism and bad taste. Nick Naylor (played to perfection by Aaron Eckhart) is a champion of the moral underdog - a...
A great start to the festival with two fantastic films:- Mon Ange (My Angel) [Serge Frydman, 2004] A strange fable with good-hearted prostitutes, violent pimps...
Be With Me [Eric Khoo, 2005] As carefully crafted as a sonnet. Each shot beautifully photographed and precisely framed. The scenes modulating though mostly...
Silentium [Wolfgang Murnberger, 2004] A cheerfully irreverent comedy thriller. Along with the expected plot twists and chases, there are some nice surreal...
Happy As One [Vanessa Jopp, 2006] Interlinked stories; loneliness in an alienating metropolis; a film developed through improvisation: all elements central to...
Magic Eye [Kujtim Cashku, 2005] There are some interesting ideas here about the manipulation of the image, and the relationship of the image to reality. I...
Berlin Stories [Irene von Alberti / Miriam Dehne / Esther Gronenborn, 2005] Apparently, this consists of three `challenging tales' where `Berlin… is the main...
Co/Ma [Mike Figgis, 2004] In CO/MA you can't trust anything. Apparently it's a documentary about a group of filmmakers attending a workshop where they have to...
Summer In Berlin [Andreas Dresen, 2005] A crowd pleasing comedy drama that has much to recommend it. The friendship between the two leads characters is...
