8 WOMEN (2008)

Certification15 Our Rating

The ageing patriot of a country estate set in the hauntingly beautiful landscape of French winter, is found dead shortly before the families Christmas celebrations. There are eight suspects, all female, all with an incentive, each with a secret and all in their own very different ways, remarkable. Eight Women is a gloriously enjoyable whodunit, clever, witty and visually sumptuous, but it's the cast, ye gods the cast! That lifts it all that extra level. Excellent find out more...

ALL THAT JAZZ (1979)

Certification15 Our Rating

The story of a Broadway choreographer under such pressure to be top of the Bill that success could cost him his life. A film that is really a meditation on love, life, death and personal priorities. The real standout is the vibrant editing and music - long before MTV coopted the fast and loose cutting styles that make it hard to focus, Fosse put it to good use. He doesn't just cut for shock value, he cuts WITH the music, creating images that go right into your inner rhythm somehow. Brilliant ent find out more...
