A film version of the notorious events surrounding the demonization and media witchhunt of the religiously nutty mother of a baby who was gobbled by dingoes near Ayers Rock..... the famous 'dingo baby case'. Just shows that the Aussie press, owned by you know who, is as criminally irresponsible, ie full of lies, as the Pommie press, owned by you know who.

An intelligent, bitchy script complements the fine acting, making this one of Time Out's top 100 films of all time. Won Best Picture at 1950 Academy Awards.

Let's be honest, you either love or hate cinema's infamous enfant terrible, Lars von Trier. Those of you who love him you will find ‘Antichrist' his most entertaining and beautifully orchestrated work to date. Layered, witty and wryly tongue-in-cheek at every turn, ‘Antichrist' is brutal, honest and intelligent in both its observation of human emotion and in its exploration of a life riddled with love, loss and psychosis. Those of you who hate him however (and for newcomers who aren't familiar w

Two middle aged people meet in Tuscany; he is a British author in town to talk about his new book, she is a French gallery owner in search of originality. Together they tour the local exhibitions, cafes, museums and discover that nothing is quite what it seems and truth, like art, is always open to interpretation. An artistic conceit, though an often playful and witty one, from the director of 'Taste of Cherry' and 'The Wind Will Carry Us'.

The best of Fellini went into this bleakly funny study of five young men adrift in the wasteland of their provincial home town. Middle class layabouts living by cadging off their families, aimlessly spending their days in pursuit of amusement and girls while nursing vague ambitions never likely to be more than pipe-dreams, they are trapped as much by their own moral bankruptcy as by the futureless society in which they have never quite grown up. Beautifully shot and performed, and governed by an

An 11-year-old girl has been raped and murdered in a small community in the Pas de Calais and the man assigned to hunt for the killer is anything but your average hard bitten detective; Pharaon De Winter is a painfully shy and reclusive individual, constantly horrified by humanity's inhumanity, and emotionally ill-equipped to deal with such a vicious case. L'Humanite is an incredibly striking film, eerily haunting and with a dark lingering power.
