Review: Up In The Air
Jason Reitman’s feature follow up to the Oscar Winning Juno is many things. Up In The Air is an indictment of the economic misfortunes and the erosive nature of corporate culture, it is a road movie populated by dysfunctional family members (who are not related), it is a love story in reverse peppered with distant [...]
Get More Out Of Film In 2010
2009 was a big year for British film, and hopefully that will continue into 2010. There has never been a better time to immerse yourself in cinema, and there are many ways to get involved beyond just going to the cinema. If your new years resolution was to get more into movies, and you live [...]
Glorious 39 – Taking Another Look
Stephen Poliakoff’s dark, labyrinthine account of England’s tumble into the Second World War was premiered at the London Film Festival this year and we were impressed by it.
As today sees the film’s release I wanted to take another look at this drama, to see if it lives up to its name.
Glorious 39 is not as [...]
The Wizard of Oz Returns to the Big Screen
There are classic movies and there are enduring tales of timeless adventure; you could fill a dozen multiplexes with critically acclaimed films but often the most perfect films are relegated to DVD shelves and (if we’re lucky) a Blu-ray restoration.
Films were meant to be seen on the big screen and now the BFI are giving [...]
BFI LFF Review: Nowhere Boy
Nowhere Boy marks the feature debut of director Sam Taylor-Wood, from a script by Matt Greenhalgh, who wrote the screenplay for the acclaimed Ian Curtis biopic Control. The film, which closes the 53rd London Film Festival tonight, deals with the coming of age of John Lennon and the complicated domestic turbulence between his Mother [...]
BFI LFF Review: A Serious Man
A Serious Man is the Coen brothers’ darkest comedy to date and perhaps their most personal film, set as it is in the Jewish-America suburbia of Minnesota in the 1960s. Their purposefully erratic filmography is a definite advantage as with most Coen films there is no indication of which direction the wild wind will blow, [...]
BFI LFF Review: Glorious 39
Glorious 39 marks acclaimed filmmaker Stephen Poliakoff’s return to the big screen after twelve long years and it is an epic triumph of ambition and craft, delivering a superb and engaging thriller of duplicity and deceit on the eve of World War II.
Threatened by the impending ‘little war’ the aristocracy, fearing their way of life [...]
BFI LFF Review: Chloe
Atom Egoyan’s remake of Anna Fontaine’s 2003 thriller Nathalie relocates the French thriller to a beautifully filmed Toronto and employs Mamma Mia’s Amanda Seyfried as the eponymous escort in what can only be described as an ‘erotic thriller’ (I know”¦) that falls short of complete satisfaction.
The film is ostensibly a simple thriller of deception and [...]
