Movie: Temps du loup, Le (2003) Posted: 27 Jan 2013 Much of this film relies upon guesswork, knowledge of survival in its most desperate form, and a mixture of patience and understanding of human emotions, and being confronted with abject and... |

Movie: Guerre du feu, La (1981) Posted: 23 Jan 2013 This is quite a fascinating film, giving us an insight into the problems facing the need for fire and existence as a whole. There is in fact more than just a rear shot of a boy in the tribe, for... |

Movie: Du er ikke alene (1978) Posted: 21 Jan 2013 You are not Alone is not a remarkable film in terms of acting quality, plot or overall atmosphere. Although the two main characters have been suitably chosen to reduce the blatancy of the... |

Movie: Io non ho paura (2003) Posted: 15 Jan 2013 I have to say that this is not a film I would recommend to anyone who expects either a gripping tale or notable acting. But then it is Italian, and very few Italian film-makers have managed to... |

Movie: Robby (1968) Posted: 7 Jan 2013 A charming film with an implausible plot. The acting has much to be desired, but they were only very young, so bless their hearts, as the saying goes. The stills, however, are quite intriguing! |

Movie: Genesis Children, The (1972) Posted: 7 Jan 2013 This is without doubt one of the most rediculous films I have ever seen. It has no plot; the acting is pitiful and the actual camerawork can only be described as risible! As far as I can tell, it was... |

Movie: Guerre des boutons, La (1962) Posted: 7 Jan 2013 This is a truly marvellous film, which in terms of pulling out a great many stops, gives us a wonderful insight into childhood and innocence. The nearest the British ever came to this was the... |

Movie: War of the Buttons (1994) Posted: 7 Jan 2013 Sadly, this version is not a patch on the original French version. I agree with Shadrach in that it is charming and amusing, but it lacks the atmosphere and acting qualities of the B&W 1962 film.... |
