  • Asterix and Obelix take on Caesar (1999)
    Review preview for Asterix and Obelix take on Caesar

    Angus Wolfe Murray · 1 out of 5
    Live-action version of the comic book.
  • Coffee And Cigarettes (2003)

    The film's charm is the feeling of spontaneity and randomness.

  • Night On Earth (1991)
    Review preview for Night On Earth

    It's largely in Jarmusch's preferred genre of tittering, offbeat comedy, though, and he conjures up some brilliant scenarios and characters.

    Ben Sillis · 4.5 out of 5
    One night, five taxis, different countries, awkward moments, some humour, much humanity.
  • Pinocchio (2019)
    Review preview for Pinocchio

    Garrone establishes very early on that Pinocchio's woodness means he doesn't feel pain - during an unfortunate fire incident - so even when our hero is in deep trouble, there's always the sense he is protected.

    Amber Wilkinson · 4 out of 5
    A faithful adaptation of the well-known story of Pinocchio, about a wooden boy who longs to be real.
