Tony Wilson is very entertaining. Certainly a much better dvd than 24HPP. It's a shame. I wondered what he would do next... wnd3 ___________________________________________________________ Yahoo!

This time it was Sand In My Joints, throttling forth as a skinhead Gary Oldman hared down a tunnel during Mike Leigh's Meantime. A great surging adrenalin rush. It kept playing over the canteen riot in Scum. Oi ! Keep strumming those guitars ! British social realist filmmaking was the subject of The HIstory of British Film, and pretty good it was too - all the usual suspects of course, but I've always had a soft spot for this area of filmmaking. A shame that Terence Davies has not been able to secure funding for any projects since 2000. Though since Distant Voices, Still Lives, he tended more toward stylisation and sentimentality. His autobiiographical Trilogy (1976-83) was an absolutely outstanding achievement, made on shoestring commission budgets. Three short films, Children, Madonna & Child, Death & Transfiguration, all with virtually no dialogue, scenes shot like tableaux vivants, burn a hole in the back of your skull. Both dreamlike and grim. A Tarkovskian stillness at times. Especially powerful sequence in the last fim of the charachter in old age, played by Wilfred Bramble, dying slowly with an atrocious ephysemiac's wheeze. A death rattle till the final frame. I managed to rent a video of this years ago (long since unavailable), but have not seen it on DVD. I wish someone like the BFI would put it out. Or the beeb would put it on and I could set my VCR.

'Cavalier disregard for the rules of the free market' might serve as a half decent epitaph. I can't think of anything better to say right now. As to the Mondays, I would stick up for bummed as a longevity event and some of the rest of it if you happened to be there. But it is exaggerated, true.
