Puritan (2005)
Stunning film!
Stunning film! I viewed this film with my boyfriend yesterday at the Frightfest Film festival and without doubt it was my favourite film of the entire festival.
The director introduced it along with the whole cast Nick Moran, Georgina Rylance and the iconic David Soul.
The film is calm, cool and collected, and I cannot believe it has been made in the UK, it feels like it came from the states as it really has a cinematic look and the plot is working on many levels than just moving from a to b. It twists and turns and never reveals itself and long after you have left the cinema you are thinking about it and discussing all the possibilities of its plot line.
The director said they shot it in 21 days which staggers me, because it is so beautiful to look at and so professionally done, my hats off to him and his amazing cinematographer.
This is the kind of movie the British film industry should be making, and its so good to hear an independent film maker has gone out there and done it completely of his own accord. Go and see it, i think its going to be one of those films that will become a favourite.
Yellow Dog (1973)
Undiscovered Classic
This film is an undiscovered classic.
the late great terence donovaan, one of the best and the most talented fashion photographers in the past 30 years directed this strange little film, about a Japanese cop in London.
Donovan was the director of the now famous and iconic robert palmer 'addicted to love' pop promo, which has become iconic in its imagery and has been copied and parodied a countless times.
The film is an oddity as fish out of water film were not really the fashion in the 1970's but its a very good precursor of what was to come in the form of all the cop fish out of water films of the 1980's, best exemplified by Eddie Murphy's Beverley hills cop movies.
I am dying to get this film but cannot find it anywhere.
