Bob Crane was the star of the hugely successful 1960s TV series "Hogan's Heroes", a man of fine upstanding character until he's befriended by a svengali-like video technician. Together the two men embark on an increasingly dark journey of sexual hedonism that leaves Crane increasingly estranged from reality and, ultimately, dead. Auto Focus is a fascinating film, visually atmospheric, superbly performed by the two leads and an utterly gripping account of one man's decent into addiction.

Deeply thoughtful and immensely moving.

ZODIAC (2007)
Certification15 Our Rating
A suspenseful documentation of the search for Zodiac killer, who made the headlines with his apparently random killings and his coded messages to the press as to his identity, whilst killing with impunity, largely in the San Francisco Bay area of Northern California, in the 1970s. The story follows that of puzzle solver and cartoonist Robert Graysmith and is reflected in the somewhat amateurish, if occasionally compulsive, efforts of various resource stretched California police units.
