Edie (2017)
really good film
Have just seen this at the Raindance but gather it is getting a UK wide release spring 2018. Lovely film at so many levels - reminded me in parts of Local Hero - beautiful Scottish countryside and a performance of her life from Sheila Hancock.
Other cast are excellent too - Kevin Guthrie is spot on - not overplayed - a man struggling with where is in life.
A thought provoking film as to what we should do with our lives.
It's a gem.
Le parfum de la dame en noir (2005)
Great Off the Wall Film
A genuinely funny and thought provoking film, with a number of surreal elements, and a lot of humour. The leading lady is always wanting to eat and announcing a meal - with shades of Bunuel's Discreet Charms - and there are very funny jokes dispersed amongst the film in the most unexpected places. It is very off the wall, and although others have said that it has disjointed dialogue etc, that's what's intended, and it is more like real life in a remote Cote d'Azure fort with such an odd bunch of people would be.
It's great - well worth a view. I saw it on a plane with English subtitles, and am now searching to see if I can buy it on DVD with subtitles.
