I'm really tired with the idea that 'dark' is adult. If anything, as an adult I've come to cherish really stupid comedy as possibly the highest achievement of mankind. Because it's the thing we do that most points away from death. I'm increasingly unafraid to say that A Matter of Life and Death (1946) has been replaced as my favourite movie of all time by One of Our Dinosaurs Is Missing (1975).
