Martha Marcy May Marlene

Terrifying and beautiful, this might well be the best film of 2012.

Review: Acts of Godfrey

84 minutes of rhyming couplets? It sounds well annoying but I actually loved it.

Review: The Descendants

Nice film, shame about the voiceover.

Tinker Tailor Whack-a-Mole

There's a mole at the top of The Circus. Can you bash its face in?

Review: Like Crazy

A superb anti-rom-com that breaks some cliches and obeys others, which only makes it more moving.

Review: Shame

A devastating, magnificent film that trades almost solely in sex – and yet looks right through it.

Review: Coriolanus

Like Olivier and Branagh before him, Fiennes makes Shakespeare as gripping as it ever was. Verily, Voldemort did good.

If Newsreaders Did Shakespeare...

Inspired by Jon Snow's role in Coriolanus, here are some other Shakespeare adaptations starring newsreaders.

Review: The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo

After Benjamin Button and The Social Network, this feels like Fincher back in Se7en territory. Grizzled, haunting and beautiful.

Woody at the BFI

As the BFI's season of Woody Allen films continues, we look back at some of the director's best (and worst) films.

The Artist

A feel-good treat, pure and simple. You’ll swoon, you’ll sigh, you’ll want to tap dance.

"Yes, I was tipsy, I did a dumb thing. I killed my gigolo..."


That's no song for a young boy to sing, but Serge Gainsbourg is no young boy - soon to grow up into one of France's greatest mavericks, the musical genius of Gainsbourg had him singing before he even grew out of shorts. And you can watch ickle Serge sing his socks off with this new clip from the upcoming biopic.


Directed by graphic artist Joann Sfar, Gainsbourg shows us Serge's life, from 1940s Nazi-occupied Paris through his successful song-writing years in the 60s until his death in 1991. Think Amelie meets La Vie En Rose and you get the rough drift.


Gainsbourg is released in UK cinemas on Friday 30th July. For more information, the trailer's over in the video section, or you check out the official site. Otherwise, read on for the new clip. One, two, three, all together! "Yes I was tipsy, I did a dumb thing, I killed my gigolo..."

Director: Pierre Morel
Cast: John Travolta, Jonathan Rhys Meyers
Certificate: 15

"Every man has his vice. Mine is a royale with cheese." That's John Travolta there, in character as psycho secret agent Charlie Wax, referencing his earlier work in Pulp Fiction. It's either an audacious and brilliant in-joke, or it's just lazy. And depending on your view of that line, you'll pretty much think the same of the whole film. It's from the director of Taken, if that gives you a clue what to expect. And you wouldn't be far wrong. Except that this is far more entertaining.

Carla Bruni, Mrs Nicholas Sarkozy, has said yes. Yes, to Woody Allen's offer of a role in a future film. France's First Lady, former singer, model and now stateswoman, is now set to follow in the steps of her sister, Valeria Bruni Tedeschi, who is an experienced actress in her own right.


Mrs Bruni, with her brief appearance in Robert Altman's Pret-a-Porter and alleged affairs with blokes from Eric Clapton to Mick Jagger, seems the perfect fit for the neurotic sex-mad film-maker. "I'm monogamous from time to time, but I prefer polygamy and polyandry," Bruni once said. It already sounds like a line from Mia Farrow or Diane Keaton.


Previously, Allen said: "I'm sure she would be wonderful. She has charisma and she performs, so she's not unknown to an audience, and I would cast her in many different ways. She is an accomplished artist, she is very beautiful and I am sure she would have a gift for comedy." I'll wait to see the proof of that last part.
