Film review: Aguirre, Wrath of God (PG)
06 June 2013 07:00 PM
First released in 1972, Werner Herzog's film is a tale of two trips, one of Spanish conquistadors trekking through the jungle in search of El Dorado, the other into an hallucinatory strangeness of the director's own making.
Film review: Populaire - You need more than 140 words per minute to write a decent script
01 June 2013 08:27 PM
The publicity for Populaire is selling it as "Mad Men meets The Artist", and you can see where it's coming from. Brylcreem, sharp suits and cigarettes by the truckload? Check. Feelgood French tribute to the cinema of a bygone era? Check. But it would be just as appropriate to compare Populaire to every film ever made about somebody competing in a contest, from The Karate Kid to Pitch Perfect.

01 June 2013 07:30 PM
A Richard Curtis-ian rom-com with a misanthropic twist, I Give it a Year focuses on a pair of newlyweds, Rafe Spall and Rose Byrne, who aren't sure whether to stay together. The problem is that we aren't sure, either.
