Servant, The (1963)

  • Losey, Joseph
  • 1963, Joseph Losey, UK
  • Leave a comment

A standout British film from the ‘60s, this hypnotic take on class and sex with tantalising bits of latent homosexuality, sees director Joseph Losey, writer Harold Pinter and actor Dirk Bogarde at the top of their game. 

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4 out of 5.

Martian, The (2015)

  • Scott, Ridley
  • 2015, Ridley Scott, UK, USA
  • Leave a comment

Ridley Scott is back in some style with this largely captivating stranded-in-Mars sci-fi adventure that is a potent mix of science and thrills.  

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Steve Jobs (2015)

  • Boyle, Danny
  • 2015, Danny Boyle, UK, USA
  • 1 Comment

Boyle, Sorkin, Fassbender and Winslet deliver some of their best work in this talky if invigorating three-act ‘cinematic theatre’ centering on the Apple co-founder.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 4 out of 5.

Exodus: Gods and Kings (2014)

  • Scott, Ridley
  • 2014, Ridley Scott, UK, USA
  • 1 Comment

As a swords-and-sandals biblical epic, it is fairly spectacular, but remotely engaging.

⭐⭐⭐

Dr. Strangelove or: How I Learned to Stop Worrying and Love the Bomb (1964)

  • Criterion Collection, Kubrick, Stanley
  • 1964, Stanley Kubrick, UK, USA
  • 3 Comments

Kubrick’s pitch-black Cold War comedy is absolute gold, intelligently poking fun at the sheer absurdity of nuclear war and rhetoric. 

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

  • Scott, Ridley
  • 2013, Ridley Scott, UK, USA

Robin Hood (2010)

  • Scott, Ridley
  • 2010, Ridley Scott, UK, USA
  • Leave a comment

A “Gladiator-ised” Robin Hood without the right punch in this missed opportunity by Ridley Scott.

⭐⭐⭐

Exhibition (2013)

  • Hogg, Joanna
  • 2013, Joanna Hogg, UK
  • Leave a comment

Architecture meets cinema in this minimalist if keenly observed, hauntological tale of two intimacy-starved artists living in a glass house in London as they prepare for its sale.

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Beat the Devil (1953)

  • Huston, John
  • 1953, John Huston, UK
  • Leave a comment

This is Huston in laissez-faire mode as a group of men with an ulterior motive to milk the riches of Africa meets unexpected obstacles in the form of a British couple, as the film explores human temptations of greed, lust and pride.    

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.

Moulin Rouge (1952)

  • Huston, John
  • 1952, John Huston, UK
  • 1 Comment

Huston’s Venice Silver Lion-winning costume drama focuses much more on disabled French artist Henri de Toulouse-Lautrec than the infamous Paris nightclub that he frequently visits in this ruminative take on love and loneliness.  

⭐⭐⭐⭐

Rating: 3.5 out of 5.
