Walkabout (12) Home Ents Review

August 7, 2022August 7, 2022 Colin Dibben David Gulpilil, Jenny Agutter, John Meillon, Luc Roeg, Walkabout

L’Argent (12) |Home Ents Review

August 7, 2022August 7, 2022 Colin Dibben Caroline Lang, Christian Patey, L’Argent, Sylvie Van den Elsen, Vincent Risterucci

July 9, 2022July 9, 2022 Colin Dibben Edward Woodward, Jane Merrow, Samantha Weysom, The Appointment

A welcome return for this lost gem, a very British ‘weird tale’, unseen for decades after its time on regional ITV channels.

Wayfinder (PG) |Close-Up Film Review

June 30, 2022June 30, 2022 Colin Dibben Anita Neil, Maa Afua, Mataio Austin Dean, Perside Rodrigues, Russell Tovey, Wayfinder

Intriguing and frustrating in equal measure, British-Ghanian artist Larry Achiampong’s film essay is a fragmentary, poetic reverie on race, class and economic exclusion in post-colonial England.

Revolver (15) |Home Ents Review

May 15, 2022May 15, 2022 Colin Dibben Agostina Belli, Fabio Testi, Frédéric de Pasquale, Oliver Reed, Paola Pitagora, Revolver
