Chow Mo Wan is a man whose painful past has left him wary of love. Now committed only to a lack of commitment, Chow embarks on a series of affairs that promise to fulfil little more than his carnal desire. The majority of Chow's passion is devoted to his Science Fiction novel, a tale of characters travelling on a train to the future in order to reclaim their past. Set in the 1960s and following on from Wong Kar-Wai's passionate but ephemeral ‘In The Mood For Love', 2046 is a ravishing tale of lo

A bandit leader and a fugative IRA man join together to rob a bank in an explosive spagehtti western set in Mexico in 1913. Having already, in Once Upon a Time in the West, taken energetic liberties with the typical Fordian Western, it's not surprising that Leone should have taken a sideswipe at another of the director's stereotypes, the revolutionary Irishman, in the second part of his trilogy of political fables. But the specific IRA background of Coburn's Sean is as ultimately unimportant as

60s folk music was big business and ‘The Folksmen', ‘The New Main Street Singers' and ‘Mitch and Mickey' were at the top of the heap. Forty years later and in honour of their recently deceased manager, these musical icons decide to reform and put on a show at New York's town hall. Just like Best in Show, Spinal Tap and Waiting for Guffman, Christopher Guest has crafted an acutely observed mockumentary, sublimely eccentric, gently satirical and with numerous one liners that are delivered with an

Blending elements of "Shallow Grave" and "Fargo", this noir-ish thriller should satisfy the most demanding fan of the genre. Set in the snowbound Midwest of America, the cautionary tale begins when three locals discover a crashed aircraft containing a dead pilot and millions of dollars in cash. Half-witted good ol' boys Jacob and Lou can't wait to get stuck into the obviously ill-gotten gains, while the sensible, principled Hank just knows it'll all end in tears. Of course, the trio go for the j
