Loneliness of the Long Distance Runner (1962): Young feet running on England's green and pleasant land.
Civilisations (TV Series) (2018): Wonderful images, thoughtful commentaries.
Carnage (2011): In which civilized behaviour goes down the gurgler. The script zings.
Tenant, The (1976): Mr Polanski is pulling our leg a little here, surely.
Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin, The (TV Series) (1976): I didn't get where I am today without a catchphrase or two.
Cinderfella (1960): Lewis' brand of goofiness rises to its best moments when Basie is playing.
Plein Soleil (Purple Noon) (1960): Oh dear, a non–Patricia Highsmith ending.
Magic Christian, The (1969): The art auction is a hoot.; DVD $19.95
Duellists, The (1977): Atmospheric.; Blu-Ray $24.95
Distant Voices, Still Lives (1988): Nostalgia with a personal edge. "Men – if they're not using a big stick they're farting." Fascinating musical soundtrack.
