There are no upcoming events for Studio Ghibli
A great big vulgar firework of a movie, full of sweeping vistas and gay abandon. Worth catching the 3D version just for the green light through the mist. Once it settles down, it serves the story reasonably well. The valley of ashes looks amazing, New York more so. Sadly the soundtrack features Foghorn Florence, which spoils it for me, old sport.
Worth seeing.
The Film Club was in agreement that this was an excellent film.A gripping film from the off. Well acted well paced but sufficiently slow to allow the tension to build. First rate performances from all concerned but particularly Soren Malling and Pilou Asbaek (Kasper from Borgen). Strongly recommended.
I am looking forward to seeing
THE ROCKY HORROR PICTURE SHOW once again .
I can not tell you the last time I have actually seen this movie in the cinema .
The Film Club weren’t at all excited by the latest from the great Spanish director Pedro Almoldovar, with one exception that it is. Most of us were familiar with all of Almoldovar’s work and were more or less unanimous that this was his worst film.
What made it more frustrating was that there was a cross-section of really interesting characters on board the Madrid to Mexico flight but none were fully developed. The director had claimed that the film was a satire on the state of the Spanish economy but, apart from a fleeing dodgy banker and a state-of-the-art disused airport, there was little evidence of this. A one joke movie and a dud
