OUR DAILY BREAD (2005)
Certification12 Our Rating
An awesomely shot, sci-fi-like tableau of the high technologies and production line techniques involved in the modern food production industry. Shot with a Nietzschean eye to the beauty of man's mastery of nature and with a dry Germanic sense of humour "Our Daily Bread" may ignore both the damage to nature and the cruelty involved in these processes, but it sure makes fabulous art and great cinema.

THE FIFTH ELEMENT (1997)
CertificationPG Our Rating
Luc Besson goes big budget in this hi-tech sci-fi with Bruce Willis as an amiably tongue-in-cheek taxi-driver, Milla Jovovich as the bizarrely bandaged damsel in distress and Gary Oldham as the bad guy with the odd hairdo - and there's even a cameo from Tricky. A movie that delights in firepower, explosions and loudly destructive mayhem but the real stars are Dan Weil's production design, Jean-Paul Gaultier's outlandish costumes and Digital Domain's special effects.
