No idea what that sentance means

Just incase... Its not based on any hoolie groups, and Tony Scott is apparently remaking it. He's said he won't be sticking too closely to the original (So I'm guessing no baseball Furies and loads and loads of guns)

No ENglish hoolies are used for the gangs. Trust me, I'm a geek when it comes to this film

I doubt if they are online anywhere?

Anyone seen this? I really recommend it.

i watched this feature length documentary couple of nights ago (the missus' call in fairness) and have to say i was astounded by it. Id never heard of this guy before but he is/was a genius artist/singer/songwriter who suffers from manic depression and paranoid delusions. He recorded his entire life on cassette tape and his early life on film.

I couldnt take my eyes off it. A true nut case genius - Cantona is a fraud compared to this guy.

Anyway, i found this review of it on imdb today which explains it a bit better than i can...

Jeff Feuerzeig weaves this material seamlessly into what is one of the most emotionally wrenching films I've seen in the last year and one of my favorite documentaries ever. It is hard to compare this film with documentaries like those of Michael Moore which are comedic and topical, or those of Errol Morris, which tend to focus on issues and facts. This documentary brings emotional threads and creativity into play in a way that dissolves the usual harsh contrast between a story and it's telling. You forget you are watching a documentary film, and become immersed in Daniel's life. Daniel's effect on those around him is interwoven with his own recordings. His family and friend are there to add to his story to show how his life is reflected upon them. Feuerzeig use of Daniel's parents narrative is simply masterful - it provides important information, and at the same time illustrates the the emotional turmoil his illness causes in the lives of those that love him. Daniel's family is portrayed from the early period of his illness when they have no idea what mental illness really means, to the present time when they become his supporters and advocates. Eventually, family and friend's are shown coming to terms with Daniel's mental illness, and experience their own emotional growth as well.

check it out.

suggest you check out daniel's music man, he's more clued in then you could imagine. I have a video of his posted recently in the good music video thread in the music forum

**Risteard** · 11/07/2007, 2:09 AM

I was going to set up this as its own thread because it deserves the attention.
A mountain of good films in the cinema at the moment but we were too late or tickets sold out for all of them the other night so decided to go to the next film on.
The Night of the Sunflower.
I'd say its now the best film i've ever seen.
Subtitled spanish.
Jean De Florette meets Pulp Fiction.
Please go see this film.

**jebus** · 11/07/2007, 2:43 AM

actually in the arthouse cinemas at the moment I'd recommend Scott Walker: 30th Century Man, and advise against 10 Canoes

**bennocelt** · 17/08/2007, 6:21 PM

We had a thread like this before (and one about books), but it vanished

maybe we can start it up again..............

Anyway tonight there is an excellent movie on the box..........no not that thrash "pretty woman" but "Twenty Four Seven" starring Bob Hoskins and directed by S Meadows.
its an excellent movie and very much underrated, dont know why it never did well
its about Bob hoskins, an old ex boxer down on his luck and he trys to rebuild a boxing club, and he is trying to get the young drop outs and dead beats to join. simple story but great acting, realistic, and great soundtrack

i think this was meadows second movie

anyway its one of my favs

**Soper** · 17/08/2007, 6:37 PM

I thought Hoskins was great when he used to be in Genesis

I was never in Genesis.

Ny the way, just watched Primer. Very odd movie shot on a microbudget, it takes a while to sink in. I'm thinking I'll watch it again later with the commentary.
