I thought this was good fun. It had a bit of a shaky start, but got better as the film progressed. As so often with me, music was an important hook: I loved...
I thoroughly enjoyed this film. It may be melodramatic, last well over 3 hours, and break out into Indian song every so often, but its hugely entertaining. ...
I agree that "Hannah" is a most enjoyable film, but I disagree with the comment about Allen's acting style. It's just as much a fictional character as any...
Yes, I know this series of ten one hour films were orinally made for Polish television, but their style and sensibility are cinematic, and it is through the...
The more I see of Medem's work, the more impressed I am. His most recent films, "Sex and Lucia" and "Lovers Of The Arctic Circle", are some of the best cinema...
My expectations had been raised so high by all I had heard about this film, that I was a little disappointed to begin with. However, as I relaxed into the...
This is a charming, impressionistic film. It's slight storyline, about a family living in a remote village in Castille, is secondary to the imagery running...
If you've enjoyed the film, you might consider reading Richard E. Grant's
film diaries, With Nails. The book has a very interesting chapter on
Withnail and...
I remember the first time I saw this film - I was living in Camden; suddenly, I realised that my long coat was a bit of a cliche but I also felt totally ...
Thanks for the recommendation, Christine. I think we've got that book in paperback somewhere in the house - not yet read. It's just a case of finding it now!...
This is an impressive film, and for me, more rewarding than La Dolce Vita. The storyline sounds unpromising: an innocent-like prostitute meets a series of...
Giulietta Masina is so great in this film. I saw her first in "Ginger&Fred", in her old age and she was fascinating. Then I saw "Giulietta of the Spirits" (I...
I was lucky enough to see this film at last year's Cambridge Film Festival, and to see the director (Chereau) and lead actress (Kerry Fox) interviewed after...
This is the first of Blier's films that I've seen. Based on this, I shall certainly be looking for some more. Mind you, this is a pretty strange film - a kind...
Saw this some years ago and found it a very warming and wonderful film. Actually thought that Giulietta Masina in the role of a prostitute with a kind heart...

As with many Mamet films, this has an intelligently scripted complex storyline. It may not be one of his best, but it certainly provides an excellent vehicle...
Fancy a new car ? Getting tired of those old wheels ? Yet you just can't be doing with all that buying, selling, HP forms and filling in logbooks nonsense....
A low-key "real-life" film about bored youngsters in a French country town. They race around on their motorbikes, throw racial taunts at the local Arabs, and...
This is the most enjoyable Allen film I've seen so far. It seems to have just the right balance between sharp one-liners, concise characterisations, wonderful...
I enjoy Woody Alen's films as well. I don't really remember Manhatten as clearly as I would like and must watch it again. My own favourite has always remained ...
Sorry "Manhattan" ... <HR> <html><body> <tt> I enjoy Woody Alen's films as well. I don't really<BR> remember Manhatten as clearly as I would like and must<BR> ...
Manhattan is also one of my favourite Allen films. Haven't seen it for ages. Did see it immediately after it came out here on general release - over 20...

Manhattan. What a wonderful film! And an inspired idea to have it printed in monochrome (it was shot in Technicolor, 'cos the film stock's cheaper). After...
Hi, I just received the invitation to come here today. I had decided to quit all discussion groups a while ago, but decided to give it the benefit of the doubt...
David Welcome to the Group. Please feel free to post comments on any other films you like, or maybe even ones you don't like! Mike ... decided ... the ... the...
This is one of those philosophical French films with voiceover throughout. And despite that, I thought it was quite good. It's a film about loneliness. The...
I enjoyed the bit with Diane Keaton and Michael Murphy discussing candidates for "the old academy - i.e. the academy for the overated", at which point Diane...
Michael Murphy was excellent. He was also in Altman's Nashville, The Year Of Living Dangerously and Batman Returns. He appeared in a comedy on Broadway last...
I'm not quite sure why, but I really enjoyed this film. From the shots near the beginning of young Camille wheeling a supermarket trolley full of sea gulls,...
