    The French Connection

    Wasn't sure if I should log this because despite thinking I may be able to stay up late to watch the BBC's Hackman double bill (this followed by The Conversation) I struggled to stay awake even through this. That's no reflection of the film, the bits I did see were great, I'm just very tired.

  • Sister Midnight

    Sister Midnight

    ★★★½

    Well this is all over the place and I think I mean that as a compliment. I couldn't quite get on board with all of it but admired it throughout for whatever it was trying.

    I'd never heard this film and because of this I suspected it wouldn't be very good. I've now seen some reviews and it seems a lot of people really didn't like it but I completely adored it. From the magical opening I was completely hooked. I generally don't like long films but this passed by with beauty and charm and I don't think I've smiled so much before. I can't claim to understand it all, the ending left me perplexed…

    The Satellite Girl and Milk Cow

    ★★★½

    This is the best film I've ever seen about a satellite who transforms into a girl and befriends a boy who's turned into a cow featuring a talking toilet roll. Ever.

    Obviously it's all kinds of weird in a charming way but unfortunately there's not really enough story to sustain the running time.

    I wonder what Noam Chomsky would make of this.
