We watched the latest Kaurismäki film last night, Fallen Leaves. Not much happened, not much was said. It was wonderful.

I heartily recommend a 2010 New Zealand film called Boy. An amusing and evocative account of growing up in the early 80s and, whilst it might be set on the other side of the world, will probably...

I thank that will be dinnertime listening this evening :thumbsup:.



That pleases me.

The Oscar-winning short film, An Irish Goodbye, is currently on Iplayer and I can't recommend a better way of spending 23 minutes.


Also watched the Bill Nighy film, Living, on Friday. A film...

Yes - watched that just over a week ago and really enjoyed it.

I can warmly recommend Talking About Trees - a documentary about the escapades of the elderly gentlemen of the Sudanese Film Club.

You are on the wrong thread.

I cannot recommend a documentary called The English Surgeon highly enough. It's about the work of the neurosurgeon, Henry Marsh, and his co-operation with a counterpart in Ukraine, Igor Kurilets....

We watched Orphans on Friday evening (it’s currently available on IPlayer). Unquestionably dated and of its time but a really enjoyable watch all the same.

I wish I could say I enjoyed Dunkirk...

Thanks, I enjoyed reading that.



Thanks for the tip - it looks like I'm going to have to sell my soul to Amazon to watch it but I think I'll get to it before the end of the week.

I watched Tinker, Tailor, Soldier, Spy at the weekend (it's on Iplayer); I was expecting to hate it but actually thought it quite well done. Obviously it inevitably means that I'll go back to the...

And alcoves.

We watched A Private War over the weekend. It came with a firm recommendation from some (Syrian) colleagues working in theatre as a movie that gives a fairly accurate feel for what being there is...

We watched that the weekend before last and really enjoyed it.

Went to the German premiere of Mary Queen of Scots last week (with the Take Time watch) and I wish it was anywhere near as good as The Favourite promises to be.

We watched it on Saturday; I thought it was excellent. Whilst the theme of a relationship that changes as the two people in it change over time and circumstance isn't novel, it's beautifully filmed...

I've just looked at the trailer - that looks very promising indeed.

Can you tell me how you saw it? Netflix, DVD or good old-fashioned cinema?

Berlinale is in full swing and I've seen two particularly good films so far.

Insyriated is a small film by a relatively obscure Belgian director - Philippe Van Leeuw. It's a day in the life of a...

A couple of weeks ago we saw Moka which has an absolutely excellent performance by Emmanualle Devos. The strapline may make it sound a little morbid but it's also a sort of whodunnit.

A friend of ours is going to Bruges with his partner later in the year so last night we had him round for dinner and a mandatory viewing of In Bruges. What a brilliant film.

...

Last night we watched Our Man in Havana. Simply excellent!

We watched The Lady in the Van on Christmas Evening - really enjoyed it and it's on Iplayer for another 25 days.

Last night we watched The Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner.

Excellent and quite a few familiar faces in minor roles.

Thank you - it's good to know I could have watched it without German sub-titles.
