BLUE / GLITTERBUG (1993)

Certification15 Our Rating

Derek Jarman faces up to AIDS, the loss of loved ones, the breakdown of the body, blindness and his own approaching fall into the void. The constant blue screen provides a backdrop for Jarman's words, which are delivered by a host of famous voices. His eloquence, and unsentimental account of his own plight are deeply moving. A challenging and abstract film. The dvd contains Glitterbug, a 60 minute collage of Jarman's super 8 footage which he shot between 1970-1986. find out more...

BOMBAY BEACH (2011)

CertificationE Our Rating

The rusting relic of a failed 1950s development scheme, the Salton Sea is a barren California landscape often seen as a symbol of the failed American Dream. First time director Alma Har'el visits this poetically fruitful terrain and finds there a motley cast, including a bipolar seven-year-old, a lovelorn high school football star, and an octogenarian poet-prophet. Together they make up a triptych of manhood in its decisive m find out more...

BRITAIN IN THE 30S (HISTORY OF AVANT-GARDE) (1930)

CertificationE Our Rating

Award wining documentary �Song of Ceylon�, is a lyrical beauty, but owes its enduring charm to its anachronistic notions of Empire and Englishness. �Bread� is a slice of realism that looks at hunger in Britain. �Beyond This Open Road� shows the urban populace journeying into the countryside during their weekends away from work; the imagery and utopian aesthetic are reminiscent of the work of Leni Riefenstahl. �Coal Face� is an experiment in realism that focuses on the importance of coal mini find out more...

CLOSE-UP (1990)

CertificationU Our Rating

The true story of Hossain Sabzian (playing himself), arrested and prosecuted for impersonating Iranian director Mohsen Makhmalbaf (playing himself). A combination of dramatic re-enactment and real footage of all those involved, including the ensuing trial, 'Close Up' is the story of a man whose only crime is a passion for film, his guilt borne not of malice but beguiling naivety. Witty, touching, thoughtful and creative, this is a film that celebrates not just the individual but people's ability find out more...
