One Year, One Night
A deftly handled drama about recovery from trauma. Based on the life and account of a survivor of the Batalcan terrorist attack, One Year, One Night tells the story of Ramon and Celine, a couple who attended the gig that night, and who make their way through the next year processing what has happened to…
Pacifiction
Well that was a whole load of nothing. The blurb to this film makes it look quite interesting, a largely powerless figurehead of the French government in Tahiti, part of French Polynesia, has to manage rising tensions between the indigenous population and some recently stationed naval officers as rumours swirl that nuclear tests will resume.…
My Emptiness and I

This year it’s Girl, the first feature by Adura Onashile, who did the excellent short Expensive Shit, and starring Deborah Lukumuena, from the The Braves…

The Craft
I love The Craft, but I haven’t actually watched it since the 90s. I was delighted to find it exactly as I remember it – fucking awesome. My clearest memory was of my deep lesbian devotion to goth queen Nancy, played by Fairuza Balk. Tellingly, I had completely forgotten Skeet Ulrich was even in this…
