Don't even tell me it's not Wednesday.
JEUNE ET JOLIE
Francois Ozon's latest film, in an extremely long line in a mere few years, screened in competition this year at Cannes. It already being Friday (don't ask...), it's released today in the UK! I'm looking forward to seeing it within the next few days, not least for the fact that Marine Vacth is fit.
SAVING MR. BANKS
One of this year's Oscar frontrunners opens in the US next week, and in the UK today. I saw it today, and will review it later! You'd do well to see it, since it's likely to remain in the conversation 'round these parts for weeks and months to come, for better or worse! Emma Thompson gives a powerhouse performance as P.L. Travers. More on it soon!
OLDBOY
If you live in the US, and you can find one of the paltry few cinemas into which Spike Lee's Oldboy remake is being released, maybe you could go and see it! Critics have been more divided on it than they were on Park Chan Wook's Cannes prize-winning original ten years ago, and FilmDistrict don't seem to have much faith in it, putting it out into moderate release after a somewhat heftier marketing campaign over the last few months suggested that they had greater intentions once upon a time. So it's shit. Fine. Go see it anyway, America!
