They come to compliment each other, in their differences. T find out more...

The educated eater is back, and living the life of the free. Dr Hannibal Lecter is now residing in Florence but he still preys on the mind of FBI agent Clarice Starling and one of the main courses from his early years, a terribly mutilated tycoon determined to exact an equally perverse revenge.

LONDON (1993)

CertificationU Our Rating

The 'story' is structured round three journeys undertaken by the Narrator and his friend Robinson to research the source of English Romanticism. As the pair attempt to get a grip on the city's history, contemporary events distract them from their planned route and their focus on the past.

MANHATTAN (1979)

Certification15 Our Rating

Woody plays Isaac Davies, a man with a social conscience and a tangled love life; his wife has recently left him for another woman, his new girlfriend is only seventeen, and he's in love with the mistress of his best friend. A bittersweet social comedy framed as a loving tribute to neurotic New York, overlaid with an evocative Gershwin score, it's funny and sad in exactly the right proportions. Allen could well strive vainly ever to better this film. Filmed in black and white. find out more...
