Neruda *** (2016, Gael García Bernal, Luis Gnecco, Mercedes Morán) – Movie Review
‘Jackie‘ (2016) and The Club (2015) director Pablo Larraín’s 2016 biographical drama is an unusual, surprising eye-opener of a film. It is most welcome as an intriguing, provocative and different film. It is full of provocative […]

Poet-film director Jean Cocteau’s standard-setting first film from 1932 is a dazzling series of enigmatic surrealist images conjured up as much to delight as to bewilder. As statues come alive and an executed revolutionary revives, […]
Le Testament d’Orphée [Testament of Orpheus] **** (1959, Jean Cocteau, Edouard Dermithe, Maria Casarès, François Périer, Henri Crémieux, Yul Brynner, Jean Marais, Claudine Auger) – Classic Movie Review 2985

By Our Selves *** (2015, Andrew Kotting, Toby Jones, Freddie Jones, Eden Kotting, Alan Moore) – Movie Review
