Journey to the Centre of the Earth

(Entertainment In Video, PG, retail & rental)
Film - Journey to the centre of the earthAFTER a couple of short-lived flourishes in the 1950s and '70s, it's good to see 3-D enjoying a major revival. (14/11/2008) Read More [Read More]

Hourglass Sanatorium

(Mr Bongo Films, 15, retail)
Film - Hourglass SanatoriumIF David Lynch's Eraserhead is the closest cinema has come to mapping the disturbing territory of a nightmare, Polish director Wojciech (The Saragossa Manuscript) Has' 1973 Hourglass Sanatorium must stand as its equal in terms of capturing the roiling brew of memory, nostalgia and fantasy that distil into dreaming.

War Requiem

(Second Sight, 12, retail)
Film - War RequiemEFFECTIVELY an 85-minute classical music video for Benjamin Britten's War Requiem, which uniquely blends the Latin Mass For The Dead with the work of First World War poet Wilfred Owen, Derek Jarman's fitful 1989 film veers between heartbreaking poignancy and, occasionally, an excess of artsy indulgence.
