Jane Foster Looks At Scott Graham's Scottish Road Racing Film RUN.

With the interesting premise of a working- class man using the speed of late night, street drag racing as an escape from his rather grim daytime existence, RUN has some of the hallmarks of the fantastically successful, ‘Fast and Furious’ franchise. However, this is no mega budget, glamorous escape by rogues and road warriors who make their living by speed and crime, but a more serious look at the boredom and frustration which finds an outlet in this dangerous urban sport. By daytime ‘Finni...

It’s always interesting to watch how fads in film come and go, especially when it brings all that was good about the first time something was in fashion, and mixes it with a fresh current take, which somehow makes it ‘right’ on trend once more.

Although billed as a comedy, drama and adventure, veteran auteur film maker Terry Gilliam’s take on Don Quixote, is so much more. As with all Gilliam’s work, the film is als...

BritFlicks Reviews A WHITE, WHITE DAY: Elegant In Its Simplicity, And Starkly Powerful.

Deeply thoughtful and sincere, Hylner Palmason’s second feature is the sort of film that’s destined to stand the test of time, even if it’s no commercial blockbuster, and was never intended to be one either. Set in rural Iceland, A WHITE, WHITE DAY, is simply a sensitive take on central character, Policeman, Ingimunder’s struggle with grief, betrayal and rage. However, this is a man who, clearly, right from the start, has absolutely no idea how to express anything more intense than light...
