Somers Town 7/10

Yesterday afternoon we watched Shane Meadows' latest film Somers Town. Not too bad at all, although to be honest it's pretty slight (not to say short, at just 71 minutes long). I doubt whether you'll remember much of it in the long term, but it was nicely shot (on DV in B&W) and even the Eurostar plugged coda is watchable, although the change to colour for the final reel is a bit OTT and sticks in my craw if I'm honest. 7/10

The Kermode's verdict:

I also watched a couple of DVDs:

Wim Wenders: Wrong Move (Ugh...totally pretenious crap! avoid it at all costs). It's hard to believe that a director as good as Wenders could come up with something as empty and pointless as this. 2/10 (the 2 is for the photography only!).

Version watched: region 4

Rainer Werner Fassbinders': Mother Kusters goes to Heaven. Not too bad, an interesting film that shows how a tragic event can be exploited for personal gain 6/10

Version watched: region 2
