[Tangled up in Blue]

Saw They All Came OUt to Montreux earlier (actually I'd seen it before on BBC 4 I presume but the chance to see it again opn the big screen was irresistible) at the Aribau 5 In Barna's IN -Edit (music festival).Excellent documentary,

The Omen (1976) - the first time I've been brave enough to watch it again in 40 years! Worth a watch imho.

I did this all for you!

Wrote and directed a fearlture called The Case (which was shot in London and Goa). Had it's prem in Soho's Fox Theatre, went to Cannes... then got shelved in a legal issue between the producer and a couple of the exec producers related to another project. Complicated and very frustrating.

Also directed docs around the med, Brazil, TV drama, shorts, TV commercials and music videos around the med mainly.

Did you do Glenn Medieros?

Watched this at the cinema this evening. An audacious offer of grand guignol if ever there was one.

Demi Moore s brilliant. As is Margeret Qualley. Quaid hams it up big time.

Writer / director Coralie Fargeat knocks it out of the park. Move over, Cronenberg.

Saw an excellent music documentary yesterday.Born to be Wild:The story of Steppenwolf at the Arribau1 In Barna's In -Edit music festival. Thought the band were German (after Herman Hesse's novel).Turns out they were Canadian (of German heritage).Loved their 2 tracks in Easy Rider,

Just back from the Odeon after seeing Lee Miller before it finishes and so glad I as a great movie based on facts of Lee being a War photographer after career as a model.

Also saw a bit more of Kate than I was expecting which was not a bad thing.

Watched this yesterday and enjoyed it. I like the style of the director and the way the shots are done, very good to have a film with little noticable CGI.
Mrs Winslet is certainly a quality actress.

Obvious propagnda (which I declined to see when we were in France recently.It's been on here too)Ditto.

 

[Tangled up in Blue]

Saw Pedro Almodóvar's The Room next Door with Mrs Tangled at the Balmes earlier .Quite liked it.Notice the Observer which reviewed it at the weekend didn't.His first feature length film in English + a shoe in for Tilda Swinton to get a best Oscar nomination I'd 've thought.While the Observer correcly pointed out PA's debt to Hitchcock they didn't attribute his use of colour to his love of French film particularly Rohmer.Critics hey!

 

[BALDY]

A very sad story---Great acting by Ms Swinton and Ms Moore.

I rolled back the years to 1947 (Richard Attenborough's ninth film).

Thanks for the reminder about this one which I had almost forgotten. Uncredited brief appearances by Diana Dors and Dirk Bogarde if I remember correctly.

 

[BALDY]

I am not sure about Dirk.....Diana Dors (very young) is in it.
