Monday 12^th November            As You Like It

The new Kenneth Branagh Shakespeare film, with an impressive cast: Brian Blessed, Kevin Kline, Alfred Molina, Romola Garai, Richard Briers. Set in a lush beautiful forest in an imaginary Old Japan, populated by people of all races, this is an innovative and modern version rather than the conventional classic. The filming and cinematography is excellent with many close-ups focusing admirably on strong emotions exchanged between characters and with fluid language spoken in a very modern tone.

Monday 10^th December             The Good German

New thriller by Stephen Soderbergh set in immediately post war Berlin and from a cracking novel. Excellent cast: George Clooney, Cate Blanchett and Toby McGuire. This has a wonderful 40’s black and white feel.
