Bed & Board [Domicile Conjugale] **** (1970, Jean-Pierre Léaud, Claude Jade, Hiroko Berghauer) – Classic Movie Review 2589
Bed and Board [Domicile Conjugale] is often highly amusing, perceptive and very touching, though overall perhaps slightly less so than its 1968 predecessor Stolen Kisses (Baisers Volés). Jean-Pierre Léaud again stars as the twentysomething French hero, […]
Unbroken **** (2014, Jack O’Connell, Takamasa Ishihara, Domhnall Gleeson, Garrett Hedlund, Luke Treadaway, Jai Courtney, Finn Wittrock) – Movie Review

Based on his autobiography, this is the upsetting and honourable true story about Englishman Eric Lomax, one of thousands of Allied prisoners working like slaves on the construction of the Thai/Burma ‘Death Railway’ during World War […]
