Coming to a theatre near you....

Sin Nombre
Dir:Cary Fukunaga





Broken Embraces
Dir: Pedro Almodovar




Two beauts of movies in my mother tongue....well the subtitles will be. Sin Nombre won the award for Directing and Excellence in Cinematography at this year's Sundance Festival and is executive produced by Gael Garcia Bernal and Diego Luna for Canana their production outfit designed to foster emerging Mexican talent and films dealing with Latin American issues. I've got my tickets booked for Sunday in the Lighthouse as a reward for making it through yet another weekend in work. I remember Fri and Sat freedom with fondness, sigh.

I read a really positive review of Broken Embraces in The Sunday Times Culture magazine. It was part of an interview with Almodovar where the word 'genius' was bandied about like nobody's business. But then someone told me they read a bad review and a tizzy ensued. I'm going to favour the good review. Vive el Pedro.
