Embrace Of The Serpent - Ciro Guerra (2015) Shades of Fitzcarraldo and Apocalypse Now. Visually amazing odyssey in the upper Amazon. I'll definitely rewatch this soon. An interesting choice to film this in b&w, when colour would have been the more obvious decision.

An amazing finale to a first season that was so good it eclipses anything else on the tube. I'm ready to rewatch the whole thing.

Umimachi No Diary / Our Little Sister - Hirokazu Kore'eda (2015) The spirit of Ozu lives, even down to the Kamakura setting. A real delight, I loved it. Goes on my ten best of the year list.

Deepwater Horizon - Peter Berg (2016) It doesn't touch on the aftermath, the huge environmental damage or the legal case. However it is a gut wrenching, supercharged disaster film par excellence.

The History Of Mr Polly - Anthony Pellisier (1949) John Mills is perfectly cast. Orchestral score excellent. The Years Between - Compton Bennett (1946) I hadn't seen this one. The end of WW2 and it's effect on a well to do family. Michael Redgrave plays a privileged, self important toff, back from the war after being thought dead. In the meantime his wife has carved out her own career. Trouble ensues.

Rewatched Bosch season two. BBC Rillington Place episode one. Genuinely dark, grim and unsettling. I didn't think anyone could match Attenborough's original performance but Tim Roth is in sterling form. Samantha Morton equally good as his wife. Impressive and very chilling.

I can't speak for you but I enjoyed it. In Her Shoes makes a good pairing. Curtis Hanson is best known for LA Confidential but he was a deft hand at whimsical drama, tinged with ironic comedy. RIP.
