East End Film Festival — A–Z of films

Silver exposes is an underlying, deep-seated prejudice rather than some sort of murderous instinct.

If this weren’t a documentary, these five people would surely find themselves nestled in the pages of some postmodern epic.

An intensely sad and affecting look at a hugely talented young woman, ill equipped for the all-consuming fame which her soulful voice would bring her.

Llansó's manages to combine the poetic sci-fi of Andrei Tarkovsky with the surrealism and dark humour of his fellow countrymen such as Luis Buñuel, Luis García Berlanga, or more recently Sergio Caballero.

Both Gamboa and Barberini acquit themselves admirably in what is almost a two-hander.

An intelligent script and strong acting bring life and depth to the characters.

Norfolk is as much a statement about land as it is about the people who live there.

A lot of people live like this and their stories need to be told, but it's not clear here that the director is always on the right side of the line.

Blake - who also wrote the script - has ideas with potential but he needs to get a firmer grip on his genre and pacing in future projects.

It is this film's universality that gives it relevance - that, and a remarkable central performance from newcomer Kerri Clarence.

Unsettling, probing and smart, they may only be looking at a town of 24 but this film has implications for people across the world.
