Joker: Folie à Deux  (Two Mad People).  Or perhaps Joker in love?   Alternatively The trial of Arthur Fleck?   Because these are the themes explored in this sequel to Todd Phillips’  2019 film Joker, which went into the back story of the character featured in the Batman tales.

There’s a great big existential horror hole at the centre of this 80s neo-noir/slasher/road movie classic and it will still suck you right in.

Colin Dibben

There’s a great big existential horror hole at the centre of this 80s neo-noir/slasher/road movie classic and it will still suck you right in. 

You’ll probably keep an innocent smile on your face – one that would do youthful looking lead Yuen Biao proud – while watching this immensely likeable blend of martial arts comedy and football. The Champions predates Stephen Chow’s more famous Shaolin Soccer by almost two decades.

This stately and austere Ancient Egyptian political thriller is absolutely unique and riveting to watch. It is, in fact, a sort of anti-epic, which refrains from using many of the engaging if excessive elements of Biblical/Ancient Egyptian epic cinema.

Pharoah (Faraon) (12) |Home Ents Review

Colin Dibben
This dark and acerbic 1960s British comedy explores our obsession with the ‘haves’ and their high-class mores through the tinted lenses of an ambitious working-class young man.

Looking pretty much like a classic of the gangster genre, this violent and visually stunning Korean film has not aged a bit. It has been restored for the 4K UHD market and is well worth watching.
