Onibaba

Onibaba remains a favourite more than 40 years since I first viewed

(Edit) 26/08/2024

I first saw Onibaba as a teenager in the 1970’s and have just watched it again as a 64 year old

It has not lost it’s power and ability to show just how much a small cast can knock you for six . Or sex.

It remains a favourite film which should be much better known.

Typist Artist Pirate King

Road Movie with a difference

(Edit) 04/06/2024

Probably best ever performance from Monica Dolan and I enjoyed this film very much and learnt something about Mental Health and how loved ones adapt and grow as a result . Excellent cast and brave direction

Gloria

Unfair treatment of child star John Adames ..

(Edit) 04/04/2024

John Cassavetes may not have directed many full length movies but they always impress me , especially when Gena Rowlands is one of main cast as with Gloria

Equally impressive in Gloria is child actor John Adames , in my view

However , some of the reviews of his performance were so extremely negative that John Adames decided to retire from the acting profession 

I think this is a real shame because great performances could have followed Gloria

When I think of fine actors who have a number of prize turkeys on their cv as well as celebrated gems - Bill Nighy and John Hurt spring to mind - I feel John Adames was unfairly treated

Water Lilies

short film review

(Edit) 31/07/2023

Not a patch on her later brilliant film - Portrait of a Lady On Fire. Though better than Petit Maman in my opinion
