Have to agree and emphasize the wonder of this film. Haven't seen it for a few years but saw it a good few times. Fiorentino gives a spellbindingly classy...

I also thought that this was a pretty impressive film, and also have to confess I'm a great fan of Huppert. Some of her character's actions were a bit extreme...

Strong, powerful and brutal stuff. Loosely based on the infamous experiments at Stanford Prison in 1971, it tells the harrowing drama of an experiment getting...

i loved 'funny games'. 'THIS IS YOUR LIFE AND IT'S ENDING ONE MINUTE AT A TIME' andie On Mon, 1 Apr 2002 05:03:03 -0500 Peter Langley...
What a bleeding rip off. Instead of the usual Monday members price of £1.50, I was told I had to pay the weekend members rate of £2.50, purely because it was...
Each to their own I suppose - but how can you say that????? The Night of The Hunter is genius - Mitchum is probably the best he's ever been and how about the ...
I tried to see this film for weeks before I finally caught it at The Filmworks in Manchester. My friend I went with called it "The Film We Didn't See" as we ...
Joe Pesci, the actor who so convincingly plays the psychopathic sidekick to DeNero in Goodfellas and Casino, here turns his hand to comedy, and does a credible...
Another film that I have only just caught up with. Besides Gosford Park, this film seems fairly inconsequential. It's about a gynaecologist, Dr T (Richard...
hey, you're from manchester? me too. i go to filmworks quite a bit. nice cinema, very expensive coffee! 'THIS IS YOUR LIFE AND IT'S ENDING ONE MINUTE AT A...
Another critically acclaimed film which has left me cold. This Thai parody/homage to the Western, is about Dum, who falls into the bandit life and becomes the...
Another of those films I've just caught up with. This one is great. A film about growing-up that, as well as being very funny, dares to be subtle. It concerns...
My favourite film of last year! I loved this film, Steve Buscemi is excellent as always and I thought the art class scenes were hilarious. I'm also fond of...
Yes I also thought that this film was a disappointing nothingness. It claimed to be a send-up of Thai films - I'm not an expert so I can't deny or agree with...

A restrained and intelligent look at a different side of war. A French officer is sent to the front soon after the outbreak of WW1, but becomes horribly...

I thought Illeana Douglas as the Art teacher was brilliant in this. She is one of those actresses that crops up in loads of films, from: 'To Die For' to even...
I have mixed feelings about this film. On the one hand their is the brilliant directing, with haunting imagery and fantastic battle scenes. On the other...
This is the 3rd Dogme 95 film, and is at heart a fairly conventional romantic comedy, but with a deliberately new-wave style. Kresten has to move back to his...
I'm quite a fan of Terence Davies' films. This trilogy comprises 3 shorts from Davies' early years, and deals with the life of Robert Tucker - as a schoolboy...
Chopped up by the studios, who also tagged on a happy ending, it is amazing that this film still manages to be so good. Some of the sequences are just...
Italian Americans, don'tcha just luv em. They came to America loaded down with: Pasta, Cappucino, Guns, Dons, da Famelee, and Reespeect. This movie cooks up...
If you enjoyed the recent "Together" by this director, then I recommend you see this, his earlier film. It is currently being shown on Film Four, as part of a...
Yep, Film Four been showing it again, mainly because it was an influence on The Royal Tenenbaums (hey, that was my idea!). Welles is a genius, and it's a...
We had a brief discussion some time ago in this Group about the portrayal of grief in the cinema, and how it is often inauthentic. Well, for my money, this...
This film is definitely an excellent example of ensemble acting - all the people in it are wonderful, despite some of them having quite "luvvyish" reputations....
I'm not usually a big fan of this type of film but I found it amazing. After first seeing it on BBC many years ago, I have watched it with some of the meanest,...
the theatrical acting style is very much about the traditional Japanese style and as far as I am aware is something expected by the home audience. Apparently ...
I saw the Director's cut of this film, which was a far too long and rambling 3 hours. This makes the film far too long and rambling. However, there is a lot...
When I went to see this at the pictures, the whole audience erupted into giggling during the long (and I mean long) sex scene at the beginning of the film. I ...
i don't think it's too long at all, the shorter version that was released missed out a lot of cool scenes including the bank robbery one which was briliant....
