Certification15 Our Rating
Talented young sketch artist Jerome Platz escapes from high school to a tiny East Coast art college. Here his ambition is to become, like his hero Picasso, the world's greatest artist. Unfortunately the beauty and craft of Jerome's portraiture are not appreciated in an art class that he finds bewildering and bogus, neither his harsh judgments of his classmates' efforts nor his later attempts to create pseudo-art of his own win him any admirers, though he does attract the attentions of his dream

BRIDESHEAD REVISITED (2008) (2008)
Certification12 Our Rating
Narrated via the memoirs of Captain Charles Ryder while stationed at the Brideshead Castle during WWII, we follow his increasingly intense, confused relationship with the aristocratic Flyte family and in particular brother and sister Sebastian and Julia. An impressive if slightly pointless cinematic adaptation of Waugh's classic much better done in the epic television drama.

THE RULES OF ATTRACTION (2002)
Certification18 Our Rating
Life at Camden arts college in New England is a pretty full on affair. There's pitifully little time for the basics, such as sleeping and eating, so relentlessly busy are the students in their tireless endeavour to shag anything, drink everything and consume all narcotics so far known to man. The man whose book this is an adaptation of, Bret Easton Ellis, claims that this comes closest of them all to portraying the world he created in his novels. 'Rules of Attraction' is a dark, nihilistic, amor
