A couple of things.
Flushed Away at the cinema, which I went to see cos it's an Aardman production and it was pretty terrific. Which is a good thing after the glut of complete dross, bandwagon-humping CG-animated films recently. Does that sentence make sense?
More significantly is
El Espíritu de la colmena (
The Spirit of the Beehive) came through the post from America in a beautiful Criterion edition. An utterly, utterly gorgeous and unusual film that could potentially be one of my favourite films of all time. So simple, so haunting, just beautiful. Cinema as poetry.
