Rebellion review

rebellion-film-image

La Haine’s Mathieu Kassovitz returns, licking his wounds, to home soil following his less than auspicious results in Hollywood (he disowned the theatrical cut of his 2008 Vin Diesel apocalyptic actioner Babylon AD). Not one to shy away from a challenge, he’s back in the directors chair, as well as co-writing, co-producing and starring in [...]




Untouchable Review

Untouchable … Omar Sy and François Cluzet

With a set-up which sounds like it could easily have been concocted by a Hollywood studio to be packaged and presented to a Nicolas Sparks-type demographic, in reality, Untouchables (adapted from a real-life tale) is a winning slice of mainstream French cinema which successfully negates the slush even if it follows a familiar tried-and-tested formula.

Delicacy Review

delicacy

Audrey Tautou has come a long way since her touching, doe-eyed international debut in Amelie. The actress is typecast in such feisty, cutesy roles that it’s hard to determine whether she’s good or just a natural charmer – a bit of both perhaps. In debut directors David Foenkinos and Stephane Foenkinos’ new romance, Delicacy, we [...]

love theatrically amelie

**Read all the posts in our ‘Love Theatrically’ series here** #9 – “AMÉLIE” (2001) Directed by Jean Pierre Jeunet Despite emerging as by far the weakest installment in the series “Alien Resurrection” does at least have one positive thing in its favour insofar as it led to director Jean Pierre Jeunet returning to France and [...]

lebowski time magazine

Week 16 of the wonderful IMDb 250 project is upon us and we are now 80 films into the 250 target and almost a third of the way through the supposed best 250 films of all time. Week 16 gave me the chance to watch another wonderful selection of films in The Lives of Others, [...]

As a lover of films I proudly own a huge amount of DVD’s and Bluray films I’ve collected over the years, approximately 700 in all, and having decided to watch them all I’ve started a journey revisiting worlds, characters and stories that I may not have seen again as the DVD’s sit on their shelving [...]
