    Fun sure, but I'd rather drive rusty nails through my skull than watch that bit when they're in the crypt and telling him about his having been born on a leap year again.

    I don't know how Mike Leigh brings his down-to-earth sensibility and works it with these characters and this subject matter but he does and it works so well.

    Despite being a topic of intense interest for me I honestly have an aversion to music hall performances in full so this film gives me just enough to immerse myself without causing me the same physical pain as watching the whole of The Pirates of Penzance.

    Softspoken impeccably well-dressed man becomes very important. Also, something to do with wives or something.

    The Road to El Dorado

    ★★★½

    It's a gay break-up film about letting go of worldly possessions and owning up to your white privilege all set against the backdrop of one of the most horrific colonial human atrocities in history.

    Thank you, Elton John I'm breaking it down sensitve-renassaince style in my bedroom.
