Elena
Generational and class divisions are the terrain upon which Zvyangintsev constructs his vision of ‘the cruel laws of reality’.

Mat Whitecross Interview
Jim Ross speaks to Mat Whitecross, director of SEX & DRUGS & ROCK & ROLL, about his new film ASHES – the difficulties of making of the film, the performances of the cast, and Whitecross’ career to date.
Thundercrack!
A rare screening of Curt McDowell’s THUNDERCRACK! was one of the unsung highlights of CFF2012. Melodramatic, naturally sexy and wonderfully absurd, this B-movie pastiche is Rocky Horror in extremis, writes Rosy Hunt.

LIBERAL ARTS is a gentle mix of romance, drama and comedy resistant to the formulaic mess it could so easily have collapsed into, writes Jim Ross at the Cambridge Film Festival.
