Liberté (18) | Close-Up Film Review

January 10, 2021January 10, 2021 Colin Dibben Laura Poulvet, Liberté

A period drama about sex and libertinage that manages to be both intense, immersive and tedious. Liberté encapsulates the exasperations and provocations of slow cinema rather well, but it may be considered obscene by some of the arthouse audience.

Train to Busan Presents: Peninsula (15) | Close-Up Film Review

November 28, 2020November 28, 2020 Colin Dibben Gang Dong-won, Kwon Hae-hyo, Lee Jung-Hyun, Train to Busan Presents: Peninsula

Eternal Beauty (15) | Close-Up Film Review

November 19, 2020November 19, 2020 Carlie Newman Alice Lowe, Billie Piper, David Thewlis, Eternal Beauty, Penelope Wilton, Sally Hawkins

Circus of Horrors (15) | Home Ents Review

October 11, 2020October 11, 2020 Colin Dibben Anton Diffring, Circus of Horrors, Donald Pleasance, Erika Remberg, Jane Hylton, Kenneth Griffith, Yvonne Montaur

Daft and overblown, this film looks great in a 4K restoration. But it is so repressed, in such a dull, British way, that it is ultimately a bit of a letdown.
