BIRDY (1985)
Certification15 Our Rating
Two soldiers return from Vietnam, one mentally scarred, the other physically. We flashback to their childhood and the fascination the slightly crazy one has with flying. So maybe after the horror of war it's a more logical decision to be a bird! A brilliant film about disillusionment, growing up and existential madness.

BLACK CAT WHITE CAT (1998)
Certification15 Our Rating
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.

BLIND SHAFT (2004)
Certification15 Our Rating
A bold feature from writer-director Li Yang, also producer, film editor and focus puller, who is not afraid to expose the 'every-man-for-himself' corruption and swindling situations of China's miners' conditions. Seems like a sad story, yet its plot progression is as taut a thriller and chilling as it is straightforward, with its dauntless depiction of the ugly, the callous and the innocent. Amorality and moral strength are at play here, and the script was written with dramatic turns akin to the

BLUE VALENTINE (2010)
Certification18 Our Rating
Gentle natured high school drop out Dean works for a removal company and while relocating a frail widower into a retirement home, spots Cindy, who, through charming persistence, he eventually wins over. This however is not where the heart of the film lies, the majority of 'Blue Valentine' is set six years later and is a tale about the death of love not its fruition; a hauntingly perceptive and beautifully moving observation of two people who can no longer share the same life. Michelle Williams a

BRAZIL (1985)
Certification15 Our Rating
A work of genius. A sort of 1984 gone haywire about a humble clerk and his efforts to find the girl of his dreams. The backgrounds and the details are all superb in one of the most immaginative films ever released, although the studio that put up the money wanted a happier ending. A Must see!

BROTHER BEAR (2003)
CertificationU Our Rating
Kenai is a young Indian on the cusp of manhood, but after a tragedy he becomes consumed by revenge, the consequences of his retributions result in his transformation into a bear, an opportunity given to him by the spirit world so that he may learn the error of his ways. Brother Bear is a delightful animated adventure, beautifully drawn, funny, and with a morality that's rather less saccharine than many a Disney offering.
