MELANCHOLIA ICON RELEASED 30 September 2011 Lars, Lars, Lars. After the superb ‘Antichrist’, a horror film worthy of Polanski or Hitchcock, you’ve decided to make a metaphysical take on the end of the world, but forgotten what it is you wanted to say. Urgh.. There’s a giant planet (called ‘Melancholia’, as if – it would [...]
‘Beloved’, the new one from Christophe Honoré. French. Has tres-sexy Ludivine Sagnier in it. And old French bird Catherine Deneuve.

So the Cannes ‘elite’ win again. Curse their stylos! Here’s the official Cannes website, updated daily. C’est bonne, eh! [...]
‘The Kid with a Bike’ is the new one from the Dardenne Brothers, multiple previous Cannes winners. I’ve seen one of theirs, ‘The Child‘, and it was superb. Trailer looks very-Dardenne. Here’s the official Cannes website, updated daily. C’est bonne, eh! Tweet This Post
It’s day 4 of Cannes, so how about ‘Pirates 4′! Playing out of competition, these big Hollywood movies that turn up are usually crap. I’m pleased to report that, unlike ‘Pirates 2 and 3′, ‘Pirates 4′ isn’t crap, just a bit bland. Here’s the official Cannes website, updated daily. C’est bonne, eh! Tweet This Post
