CINEMATIC WORLD


Welcome to Cinematic World. On this site you will find my film-related articles. It will be updated as I add archive pieces plus newly-written ones. This page was last updated on 17th August, 2010 when I added my reviews of 'The Woman in Question', 'Dangerous Moonlight' and 'They Flew Alone' and also updated my biography/filmography.

EDITORIAL

As a passionate cineaste, I would have suspected that the recent demise of the UK Film Council would have filled me with greater horror/ shock/ outrage than it actually did. True, it funded many successful films (even if some were a million lightyears away from past glories- Bend It Like Beckham is one film that springs readily to mind as endorsing Truffaut’s famous statement about the British and cinema). On the negative side, I’m not sure it did much for films at a grass roots level- preferring to farm out such niceties as funding to regional agencies (who seem to have the same dubious politics as their parent). My biggest question is not ‘why was it abolished?’ but, to weave in a line from Spike Milligan’s feted Q programmes, ‘what are we going to do now?’
