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 […]

Director Frank Lloyd’s exuberant 1938 historical adventure stars Ronald Colman as the knavish Paris philosopher-poet François Villon and Basil Rathbone as the shrewd French King Louis XI. Bot stars are excellent in Paramount’s sleek and […]
Paterson ***½ (2016, Adam Driver, Golshifteh Farahani, Barry Shabaka Henley) – Movie Review
Adam Driver is charming and funny in writer-director Jim Jarmusch’s amusing and touching 2016 comedy drama. It is quirky, quite deliciously quirky. Driver plays a character called Paterson, oddly enough, who lives and works as a bus driver in […]

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
Writer-director Jean Cocteau’s 1959 last film and movie final testament takes up where his first film Le Sang d’un Poète [Blood of a Poet] (1931) and arguably his most famous film Orphée (1950) left off. […]
By Our Selves *** (2015, Andrew Kotting, Toby Jones, Freddie Jones, Eden Kotting, Alan Moore) – Movie Review
Director Andrew Kotting investigates the life and thoughts of the poet John Clare in this typically eccentric and engaging documentary that carries on his profitable obsession with road trips. Remember how it started with Gallivant […]
