China in the turmoil of Japanese occupation is the evocative setting for this unusual and visually stunning tale. Recruited before she is truly aware of her purpose, a young woman is groomed to become an irresistible siren, an icon of contemporary eroticism to ensnare a collaborator who has wreaked havoc amongst her people. Ang Lee's stunning follow up to "Broke Back Mountain" is in essence a thriller but as with all his films it is the richness and depth of the characters that really drive the

Liam Neeson surpasses himself with his portrayal of the legendary Irish folk hero in this stirring historical drama. The controversial patriot's life, from his advent after the Easter Rising to his untimely death, is vividly depicted by a sterling cast in this passion-packed biopic. Excellent.

The Vermas are preparing for an arranged wedding in the sweltering heat of New Delhi and tensions are running high... very high. The father has worked himself into a state of near apoplexy and like the coming rains, it is clear that both family and friends are preparing for a momentous if unintended out pouring. 'Monsoon Wedding' is a deliciously raucous and bawdy affair, hilarious, farcical and thoughtful it's well worth sharing in the chaos.

Carmen is a terrorist who falls in love with a young cop guarding a bank that she and her gang try to rob. She leads him on, the pair of them legging it to her film-maker uncle's beach pad, while dragging the two of them closer to their ultimate doom. Carmen runs around naked a lot, string quartets play Beethoven, uncle (Godard himself) can't get his film act together and the romance fizzles out. As for you Bizet fans out there, make of it what you will, but 'Carmen' is in there, albeit in a con

Tom Stoppard made his debut as a director with his most famous stage play. The story is a clever re-working of Hamlet based around two minor characters from the play stumbling through a land where reality and illusion overlap, unaware of their scripted lives and unable to deviate from them. This is an award winning and inspired transition from stage to screen.

Altman's highly acclaimed and superbly directed mish-mash of Raymond Carver's short stories. We flit between numerous characters and their strange, confusing, moving and emotive daily lives. The range of emotions, and the incredibly cynical humorous touches brilliantly deconstruct American life.
