Christopher McCandless is a bright, likable, precociously perceptive, young middle-class college graduate, who, tortured by his dysfunctional childhood, is determined to find a simpler, purer and more harmonious life. He gives away all that he has and sets out across North America, his ultimate goal the perfect isolation of the Alaskan wilderness. Based on real events 'Into The Wild' is beautifully judged, paced and performed; an epic, gloriously visualised road trip and also a moving and though

When Jean, as an outsider and a city-dweller at that, inherits a smallholding, the locals will not help him, and his struggle, against both nature and humans and their tragic consequences, is riveting and compulsive. Depardieu's performance, all towering strength and heartbreaking pathos, supplies the heart and soul of this beautiful saga of greed and resentment. And you'll want to watch the sequel, "Manon De Sources", immediately.

Few of us are devoted to our work but imagine that sort of diligence, devotion and honesty when your job is a portaloo plumber. Meet Kenny, a simple man who gives his all to his work with a passion unbridled; knowledgeable, thoughtful, decent, funny and imbued with a life affirming pathos that borders on Zen, an inspirational character in a world of sh*t. Filmed in a pseudo documentary form ‘Kenny' is reminiscent of the iconic ‘The Castle' in its warm hearted, quirky celebration of working class

In his altered state of reality Sam must prove himself to his 'new boss', the hot-headed DCI Gene Hunt, all the while unsure whether he is awake or dreaming. In Episode 1 he hunts a serial killer and in Episode 2 he attempts to

Episode 3 is one of the weaker sketchs with a rather silly plot about a scab in a textiles factory getting killed. However Episode 4 is much stronger with corruption in the police force the core of the story. Which way will old-style police thug DCI Hunt swing, will he back up Simm or continue on the take? The series is now beginning to motor, the dialogue in this script is some of the smartest and the series is doing what it does at its best, parodying both 70s cop shows and the 70s themselves.

China in the turmoil of Japanese occupation is the evocative setting for this unusual and visually stunning tale. Recruited before she is truly aware of her purpose, a young woman is groomed to become an irresistible siren, an icon of contemporary eroticism to ensnare a collaborator who has wreaked havoc amongst her people. Ang Lee's stunning follow up to "Broke Back Mountain" is in essence a thriller but as with all his films it is the richness and depth of the characters that really drive the
