Kidulthood
A look at the pressures encountered by a 15-year-old boy from
west London. Drugs, sex and violence as seen from a ‘true’
perspective by filmmaker Menhaj Huda.
King Lear (Korol Lir)
A re-release for this little known 1969 film, heralded as a
masterpiece – a visually astonishing Russian retake on
the play with incredibly vivid performances.
Last Holiday
Queen Latifah and Gerard Depardieu star in Wayne Wang’s
predictable remake of the 1950 film starring Alec Guinness.
Here Latifah plays a woman diagnosed with cancer who decides
to live for today, no holds barred.
Manderlay
The second part of the trilogy began by director Lars von Trier
with Dogville, Manderlay is an allegory looking at slavery in
Alabama of the 1930s. Difficult, challenging, uncomfortable.
If you liked Dogville, you’ll love this.
Stay
Director Marc Forster (Finding Neverland, Monster’s Ball)
does a Sixth Sense-style take with this thriller starring Ewan
McGregor as a psychiatrist who tries to stop a student from
committing suicide. Good cast; oblique narrative. |
