NEW SITE!

Hi everyone,

We apologise for any issues being experienced while we migrate our old site to the new one!

Most films are working fine but some will require further maintenance. We'd really appreciate you letting us know of any that you encounter problems with.

Issues have been compounded by the fact that we've added the additional Flash (H.264) format for playback and have so many new titles we're trying to add at the moment.

Although we shall eventually be offering films to specific countries (dependent upon licensing agreements), we can currently only offer films on-line within the UK. 

Many thanks for your patience!

   

SKELETONS

Nick Whitfield’s début feature and winner of the Michael Powell Award for Best New British Feature invites us to peer into the idiosyncratic worlds of Davis and Bennett as they go about their work for the largely unexplained Veridical company. They are practitioners of The Procedure: a means of determining, psychically, where the eponymous skeletons lie in peoples’ closets. Their services are procured, often by couples, or by those simply seeking clarification and resolution in their lives. Being confronted with the truth about ones secrets by someone with the manner of a
professional delivering one a report doesn't always prove as welcome as it might originally have seemed. Imagine being delivered an inventory of your deepest and darkest secrets. Uncomfortable enough alone....
Davis and Bennett are played with discreet gusto by Ed Gaughan and Andrew Buckley whose chemistry sparks and fizzes as they bicker and fuss. The fine supporting cast includes Jason Isaacs as The Colonel, the duo's stern handler in their work for Veridical and Danish actress Paprika Steen as a woman who grieves for her vanished husband and whose daughter won't speak. Skeletons looks lush and full and Simon Whitfield's eerie but comforting soundtrack chimes perfectly with the mystery and other worldliness of this queer little gem; like Kusturica doing an Ealing Comedy. Recommended.

FOUR LIONS

With great gags from the off and the seeming authenticity within the artifice which is his hallmark, Chris Morris offers us his first feature; a farce about a British Mujihadeen terrorist cell planning a coordinated suicide-bomb attack on the London Marathon. The film is well structured and maintains impetus with textured and often hilarious dialogue from Morris, Jesse Armstrong and Sam Bain all delivered via unflinching and solid performances from the cast. Deriving humour from everyday absurdities colliding with the cramped and fraught conditions of these desperate urban guerrillas, this disarmingly compassionate film has some genuinely tender moments. The characters tend to be credible and are drawn, according to Morris, from life; some are composites, and some merely sketches though none felt insulting or dissonant. Morris claims to have set out to show the “Dad’s Army” side of terrorism in all its fumbling, misguided folly and to our minds has achieved this amply. His talent of exposing the idiot within delivers the requisite degree of despair to the mighty and their wannabes alike.
But the film goes so much further. Morris points squarely at the elephant in the room so subverting our comforting yet corrosive and lazy notions of otherness.
