As her mother’s illness worsens, Anamika must prepare herself for medical and legal issues as well as her career and what lies ahead. With a meticulously crafted script this film shows the change in their relationship through dialogue.

The Second World War was the most destructive conflict in history, laying waste not only to Europe’s people but also its infrastructure, institutions and its moral foundations. Only at the war’s end was the true scale of human suffering and misery revealed, and so devastating was the scene that Europe was dubbed ‘The New Dark Continent'. But for civilians in particular, liberation often marked not the end of their troubles but the beginning of new ones, with famine and disease widespread and an atmosphere thick with ethnic tension and revenge. This film will re-examine the aftermath of the War to ask if too much stress has been laid on an optimistic view of victory in Europe with celebratory images of VE day and newsreel coverage of the liberation of places like Paris. While narratives of hope and reconciliation are important, are parallel stories showing the darker side of peace yet to receive due prominence? Liberation was bitter, bloody and vengeful, and there were profound and pervasive fears that the peace could be lost. Through rare archive and unique personal testimony, this film reveals the ‘poisoned peace’ of 1945 to throw light on a post-war Europe where civilisation teetered on the brink of chaos, but the story of the transition from war to peace forms the hinge on which modern European history turns.
两个不太可能的朋友着手报仇。如果你没去过伦敦,你就已经失去太多了。如果你去过伦敦却完全忘了到处走走,那就更糟糕了。但要想有一个想法,你当然可以观看 Lava。出于某种未知的原因,《熔岩》给我一种伦敦的感觉,尽管影片的大部分内容都发生在室内。菲利普在一家超市工作。他是一个安静的人,与他的父亲和生病的兄弟住在一起。他只想向那个将他兄弟打残的凶手报仇。当菲利普得知袭击者被释放后,他说服他的房客斯米吉(乔·塔克饰)来协助他。在购买了杀死他所需的小工具后,他们出发前往他女朋友的公寓想要杀死他,但发现他不在家。在等待期间,他们发现她从牙买加团伙偷走了大量可卡因。以诺丁山狂欢节为背景,这部黑色喜剧犯罪片给我们带来了几分话剧的感觉。这让我们认为导演塔克的电影是在有限的资源下制作的。不过,看这部小电影还是很高兴的。

一个男人由于患上了强迫性神经官能症,生活面临崩溃。可是在这样关键的时刻,他竟然遇上一段意想不到的风流韵事。黑色幽默的故事让观众惊喜连连。 The British indie DIRTY FILTHY LOVE offers a quirky spin on the standard romantic-comedy formula with the tragicomic misadventures of its neurochemically-addled hero. Mark Furness (Michael Sheen) is a thirtysomething architect whose marriage and career are threatened by his increasing obsessive-compulsive disorder and Tourette’s syndrome, which include repetitive and completely involuntary activities such as stair-counting, hand-washing, and swearing. When his wife Stevie (Anastasia Griffith) files for divorce and he loses his job to a subordinate, Mark turns to his doctor for help but instead meets a kindred soul, Charlotte (Shirley Henderson), who immediately diagnoses Mark’s mental disorders and offers him therapy via her own self-help group. The film’s darkly humorous yet poignant tone is carried by Sheen’s nuanced performance and an unsentimental script co-penned by Ian Puleston-Davies, whose own experiences with OCD lend authenticity to the proceedings.

BBC新剧《The Secret Diaries of Miss Anne Lister》(暂译:安妮 李斯特的秘密日记) 《The Secret Diaries of Miss Anne Lister》(暂译作:安妮 李斯特的秘密日记)是一部大胆并且充满热情的新电视剧,该剧由Jane English编写、James Kent执导,Maxine Peake担当主演并将在BBC2台播出。 Anne Lister(1791年—1840年)是约克郡的一个地主、企业家、旅行家和日记作者。同时她还是一个女同性恋。尽管当时的社会需要她最大限度地保守这个秘密,而她则以与同性爱人同居的方式来反抗社会传统观念。 Anne用一本四百万字的日记,事无巨细地记载了她的生活、爱情和情感,字里行间充满了吸引力和令人心痛的真诚。日记中相当大的一部分都是用密码记录的,最近对这部日记的解密工作让人们在惊讶之余进一步了解这位号称英国现代女同性恋第一人的她。 Anne Lister那非凡的日记和她那真实却又不同寻常的生活,奠定了《The Secret Diaries of Miss Anne Lister》(安妮 李斯特的秘密日记)这部影视作品的基础。 这部只有一集,时长90分钟的剧集汇集了众多闪耀的明星,包括Anna Madeley;Susan Lynch;Christine Bottomley;Gemma Jones;Dean Lennox Kelly和Tina O’Brien。 与此片同步推出的纪录片由喜剧作家兼推广人的Sue Perkins向我们讲述Anne Lister的故事,并跟我们解密她的日记。 BBC2台的管理员Janice Hadlow是这么说的:“它就像是Brontes姐妹(注:英国著名是三姐妹作家,和Anne Lister是同一个时代的人)的世界一样,不过和人们所想的不同,带着点扭曲的意味。这些非凡的日记向我们展示了19世纪约克郡的生活与爱情,比起你所读到过的名著小说,它更加非同一般,更加惊人。”
