Slapstick tale of organised crime and family conflict amongst three generations of gypsies, from the former Yugoslavia. Set on the banks of the Danube, the riotous action centres on the old-style octagenarian gangsters, their crooked and conniving offspring, and the youngest generation, whose touching romanticism bring a touch of whimsy to the proceedings. A twisty turny farce with a cruel humour and moments of inspired surrealism.

DELICATESSEN (1991)
Certification15 Our Rating
A dazzlingly visual and atmospheric piece of cinema. The location is futuristic France with Doomsday looming. The setting is a butcher's shop run by a crazed cannibal. Add some peculiar tenants, the barbarous landlord's love-struck daughter, and some vegetarian freedom fighters, and you have a devilishly original, stylish black comedy.

Superb.

THINGS TO DO IN DENVER WHEN YOU'RE DEAD (1996)
Certification18 Our Rating
Stylish, slick gangster thriller with brooding dark humour and a language all its own. Ex-hood Garcia agrees to do one last job for local mafioso Walken, but incompetence strikes and it all goes horribly wrong. Sometimes staying alive is not the hardest choice you have to make. Definitely not to be missed.

TOGETHER (2001)
Certification15 Our Rating
It's Sweden in 1975 and Elizabeth finally decides to leave her drunken and abusive husband, finding refuge in her brother's commune. The environment that Elizabeth finds herself in is a far cry from her previously suburban existence, and she quickly warms to it, only her children are less convinced, seeing as they do a world no less full of deceit and hypocracy than the life they have left. Together is a joyous movie, sharply observed, often very funny and with a satisfying feel good after taste
