Director / Uli Edel

The last of my trio of films is the 'Sehr kompliziert'! film.

Der Baader Meinhof Komplex

This was another flashback for me at the Arc in Stockton.

It is definitely the sort of film that I need to watch again and maybe even more .

Although in German, the subtitles were great , it is just the whole political angle that is so confusing. I can't have taken a lot of notice in my teens, but there was a revolution going on!

As a Geman tutor, I feel that this was an insight to an era that I really should know more about. Needs some more research!

Great film!

The second film of my January Season is Danny Boyle's \Slumdog Millionaire.

I got chance to slip off and see this at 'the Gate' in Newcastle.

Fantastic film! It has got everything, it is hilarious in places and tear jerking in others.

Love it!

3 films

I have recently had the chance to go to the Cinema quite often.


The first film I have seen recently was a film that I saw back in the 70s.



I was in London and had an hour or two to kill when I noticed the film advertised ' Bring me the head of Alfredo Garcia'.
It was part of the Sam Peckinpah season at the National Film Theatre on the South Bank.
I loved it!!
I have always thought that it was a weird title for a film, but having seen it again after God knows how many years, it confirmed the violence that I vaguely remembered.
Great film!

World Forum.

It's not too often that you can gaze out of the window where you are working to see Big Ben!

That was the case last Monday in the QE11 Conference Centre,London.

I was showcasing the Grundtvig project and I realised that I was just around the corner from Parliament.
