The runaway success at last year's Goya Awards, Pablo Berger's Blancanieves takes the tale of Snow White and resets it in 1920s Andalucia, telling the tale of Carmen, the young daughter of a celebrated bullfighter, and her passage into adulthood and conflicts with her evil stepmother (a wondrously wicked Maribel Verdu). A beautifully-realized homage to the silent cinema, it will inevitably draw comparisons with The Artist, though its blend of youthful ebullience and Grimm-like find out more...

A strange and often engaging mixture of pseudo documentary and downright fiction starring Naomi Watts as Ellie Parker, an aspiring actress struggling to deal with the day to day humiliations, set backs and frustrations of her chosen career. That you spend so much of the film wondering how much is true, from the monster that is Hollywood to the do anything weirdness of its ‘star' makes Scott Coffey's film a fascinating, amusing, if not altogether believable minor pleasure. find out more...

It's unnerving and, somehow, everything seems eerily sexual, too. Then we are invited to go underwater where we get a closer look at the strange story science and earth have to tell. There are only mothers and sons in this coastal town. There is routine and control - but who is in control and what happens if someone starts to ask que find out more...
