The Oxford Lieder Festival 2012
Lieder and songs sung by amateurs, Hollywell Music Room, Saturday 28 October 2012
What a lovely concert that was today: a series of lieder and songs (in French, English and Italian) sung by ...

Once Upon A Time In Anatolia [15]
A Turkish answer to CSI? Well almost yes, long long long (perhaps too long?) but fantastically filmed and interpreted. A cinema realite, that could be compared with some nouvelle vague films (refusal ...

Oxford University Orchestra
Wow! What a fabulous concert! It has been a long time since I have heard good orchestral music in Oxford. To be frank with you I had almost given up, resting my ...

The Woman In Black [12A]
The Brits have always been very good with haunted house stories and this film is no exception. It also has a Hammer style to it and no surprise, as it's produced by ...

Loose Cannons [12A]
Loose Cannons (Mine Vaganti) is a light comedy from Italy about coming out and could be compared with Pourquoi Pas Moi (for its Southern atmosphere and high bourgeois milieu), or even La ...

Another Year [12A]
As usual, monsieur Mike Leigh delivers a great film. It is not necessarily pleasant to see at times as some of the situations are so close to home somehow: a family funeral, ...

The Woody Nightshade
It is quite nice to have a friend who records albums. Because you can listen to them on your way to work in the morning. And in the evening. For the past ...

The Kids Are All Right [15]
Ah... so nice to see a Hollywood comedy being... so not like a Hollywood film - like all good Hollywood films are (does that make sense? Yes it does, well hopefully!)... very ...

Winter's Bone [15]
It is quite refreshing (or perhaps the word is wrongly chosen) to see an American film from the USA where people do not smile continuously and have false fake problems or Hollywood ...

Le Refuge [15]
François Ozon is indeed a great great director. One could compare him somehow with Almodovar; openly gay, starting a career with very shocking and over the top films (Sitcom for Ozon, Pepi, ...

Time to Leave (Le Temps Qui Reste) [18]
Le temps qu'il reste is about the end of the life of a young man (Melvil Poupeau), a successful fashion photographer who has just learned he has 3 months to live. He ...

Girl on the Train [15]
I cannot say that his was my favourite Téchiné to watch so far, and we are far away from "j'embrasse pas" or "my favourite season". Perhaps it is the subject, taken from a fait ...

Heartbreaker [15]
Heartbreaker is a silly little film, that's true- far away from the high-browed oeuvres of "intellectual" French films you very often see (or you are very often asked about, as we are ...

Sergei Leiferkus & Semion Skigin
It is always quite an emotional experience to spend some time in one of Europe's oldest concert halls, a place where musicians like Handel and Mozart used to play and where, I ...

Ultimate Picture Palace
Yes... I have to admit the UPP is my kind of place. I have been going there for a while, since when it was quite chilly in winter and it smelled of damp ...

The Ghost [15]
Yes, I do feel I got a bit lost in the plot, or perhaps I was tired I don't know. But I really enjoyed moments when I would think about previous films ...

The Last Station [15]
It took me a while to get used to the fact it was not in Russian (especially after having seen the wonderful Stalker at the MAO last Thursday - thank you very much ...

Nine [12A]
Ah too bad I arrived a little bit late and missed the beginning, or perhaps I would have been embarassed slightly like when I saw Penelope Cruz do her show. I have ...

Magdalen Arms
It is the first, since I have moved to your island, that I go to a place that is a British restaurant. This perhaps reflects the funny relationship British people have with ...

The Road [15]
Yes, a very interesting film, not the usual high-speed-loads-of-special-effect typical Hollywood film (with many exceptions though). A film perhaps that will make you think about some of Tarkovski's films such as Solaris ...

Pierre Victoire
My Oxford's favourite, definitely: I love this restaurant, feels a bit like I am home. Contrary to many French restaurants in England where I have been to, there is none of that ...
