Leeds International Film Festival 2023
The Holdovers
Quite lovely. Utterly predictable but it’s a love letter to 70s filmmaking that is a joy to watch. An unlovable teacher and student find common ground when forced to spend Christmas together
The Hypnosis
At last, some Scandinavian black comedy! Lots of awkward and cringe inducing moments as well as some genuine hilarity. Watch it.
The Lady Vanishes
It’s a classic Hitchcock thriller. Always lovely to see this sort of thing on a great big screen.
The Monk and the Gun
Set against the backdrop of rural Bhutan gearing up for its first ever elections, this is a warm-hearted caper that with an eye on some serious issues. A gentle one.
The Spider Tattoo
Outrageously silly revenge drama. Runaway daughter is sold as a geisha, forcibly given a massive tattoo and exacts revenge upon all involved. Lots of melodramatic arguing and chaotic fights.
