Winner of 2021 British Film Independent Award it stars some of the best of British acting talent.
Based on a true 1970 event it tells the story of the attempts to derail a beauty pageant by a group who say that it demeans women, well publicised at the time leading to an irreversible change in the way these events were presented.
A 2019 UK award winning film advertised as a horror film upon it it’s release but it ain’t , what it is is a top class psychological drama played to perfection by a relatively unknown British cast, it tells the story of a pious nurse who becomes dangerously obsessed with saving the soul of her dying patient.
Something a little different.
Lucem.
Classic is an overused and sometimes undeserved description when describing some films but……. this is a film recognised as a true classic.
A 1955 US film with a supporting cast which includes the best list of ” hard men” you could gather together at that time, but.. this isn’t your usual heavy film, it portrays a man who ” gives a masterclass in screen acting” playing a one armed WW2 veteran travelling to a small south western US town to honour a promise he gave to a colleague who died in action only to find the town is harbouring a secret they don’t want him to find the answer to.
Yes, you may have guessed this writer rates this film and as it’s been shown on his birthday what could be a better present.
Lucem.
