The Review - AT THE MOVIES with WILLIAM HALL
Published: 3 May 2007

Janet Leigh in Psycho

Pick of the Indies

SIXTIES icon Julie Christie – surely one of the most beautiful faces to ever grace the screen – makes a welcome return this week. On the back of her much-praised turn as a woman struggling with Alzheimer’s in Away from Her, the Curzon Soho is screening on Sunday a double-bill of two of Christie’s most famous films – Don’t Look Now and Billy Liar. Worth watching, if only to drink in the perfect symmetry of Christie’s face.

IF you did a poll of rep cinema favourites, I’m sure both Annie Hall and Psycho would figure pretty highly on the list. Everyone’s favourite, angst-ridden Jewish intellectual muses on life, love and the pursuit of Diane Keaton at the Everyman on Monday, while the Hitchcock film that launched a thousand slasher movies gets a screening at the Phoenix in Finchley on Wednesday.

FRONTLINE, a media club that champions independent journalism, hosts a provocative double bill on freedom of speech in Iraq at the Curzon Soho on Sunday. TV Iraqi Style and Damn Gum will be followed by a discussion on the role of the media in modern-day Iraq.
