After 10 years of publication, 'Northings' (the monthly arts e-magazine for the Highlands & Islands) closed down in 2013 and is archived here. High Life Highland is pleased to enable this extensive body of work to remain accessible to the public. Please note, though, that material will not be updated or added.

Fantastic Mr Fox (PG)

22 Oct 2009 in Film, Reviews

ANIMATED films have become such hi-tech, cutting-edge extravaganzas that it is extremely refreshing to encounter something as hand-crafted and traditional as Fantastic Mr Fox.

The Imaginarium of Dr Panassus (12A)

16 Oct 2009 in Film, Reviews

TERRY GILLIAM has always seemed a magnet for calamity. The Adventures Of Baron Munchausen was crippled by a soaraway budget. The Man Who Killed Don Quixote was abandoned after floods destroyed the set and the leading man fell ill.
