Pick of the Litter (2018)
Interesting, and great camera–work.
Official Secrets (2019)
Keira Knightley & Ralph Fiennes are superb in this convincing political thriller. As good or better than Le Carre. Overall powerful and moving with interesting side–pieces on the Press cutting corners & powerful acting by all.
Yesterday (2019)
Not enough stars! Hilarious, well–acted convincing fun comedy.rnDon't miss the great extra with Richard Curtis & Danny Boyle – a witty & likeable pair. A work of genius!
Girls of the Sun (Les filles du soleil) (2018)
500,000 Yazidi Kurds shot & raped by ISIS unmentioned in Bolton's new book, showing the the US cared little. Yazidi Nadia Murad won a Nobel Peace Prize. See Al Jazeera online for details. V. fine film made in Georgia where many now live.
#Anne Frank: Parallel Stories (2019)
Brilliant and magisterially told by Helen Mirren. Heartbreaking but uplifting. Interviews with living contemporaries and historians. However often you've read her story, there is plenty that is new here. A modern doppelganger wanders with you.
Good Posture (2019)
A very incoherent film of doubtful wit.
Blinded By the Light (2019)
A really lovely film. Funny, up–to–date & stylish. Very clever story–line, great acting and superb camera work. Highly recommended!
Civilisation (TV Series) (1969)
Disc 1:Stilted Christian focus anti–Muslim. Disc 2: Better more attention on cultural context.#7 on Vermeer & Holland a delight still strong Christian & anti–German focus; ignores rest of the world.
In America (2002)
Wonderful, heart–warming film of true multicultural love. A movie of courage; bravely showing the way that families can be.
Grosse Pointe Blank (1997)
Good comedy!
