The Consequences of Love (15)

30 May 2005 in Film, Reviews

ALLAN HUNTER at the movies. AN ICE COOL Italian thriller, ‘The Consequences Of Love’ has the kind of steely intelligence and dry humour so often missing from its American counterparts. Reserved and detached like its central character, it sustains a sense of mystery that becomes more and more intriguing as the plot is revealed. It’s […]

A Common Thread (Brodeuses) (12A)

23 May 2005 in Film, Reviews

ALLAN HUNTER at the Movies. WARMHEARTED and meticulously observed, A Common Thread announces a promising new talent in French writer-director Eleonore Faucher. The story of a rural teenager coming to terms with her pregnancy is simple and straightforward, but Faucher invests it with a wealthy of feeling. Sentimentality is kept at bay, the performances are […]

The Jacket (15)

16 May 2005 in Film, Reviews

ALLAN HUNTER at the Movies. THE JACKET is a film that defies easy description. A mixture of love story, time-travel fantasy, murder mystery and B-movie shocker, it explodes in countless different directions like a catherine wheel. The result is often interesting but still leaves you scratching your head trying to make sense of it all. […]

Machuca (15)

8 May 2005 in Film, Reviews

ALLAN HUNTER at the movies. ANYONE WHO REMEMBERS Au Revoir Les Enfants should warm to Machuca. Like the Louis Malle classic, it is able to reflect a turbulent time in national history through the unlikely friendship of two schoolboys. Here, the setting is Chile in 1973 when the socialist government of Salvador Allende came under […]
