King Rocker (2020)
Rocking.
An investigation into the mysterious existence and five decades-long career of The Nightingales' lead Robert Lloyd, Britain's ultimate post-punk survivor.
Stewart Lee is obviously enamoured with Robert Lloyd and his legacy, which makes the documentary self-indulgent (nothing new for Lee) but also infectiously fascinating. They just play a great double act, Lloyd insisting that everything just happens and that's how it's gone, and Lee constantly overthinking and finding profounc significance in banal historical moments.
It's fun, fascinating, well-assembled and the music is great. Loved it.
8.5/10.
The Blue Candle (2021)
A stimulating teaser.
The Blue Candle is a new sci-fi short from director Bob Jordan of Obverse films...it is an exploration of the consequences to humanity as a species if we remain insular and fail to move on from Earth.
That's some pretty heavy stuff, dealing with big ideas...and what I liked about it was that it manages to get these ideas across in a simple, visually interesting way that doesn't make you feel small...it doesn't talk down to you, it invites you in...and it has this fantastic Philip Glass type minimalist music that I always love because it's sort of neutral emotionally. It doesn't tell you to be up or down but it stirs whatever emotion everything else is stirring in you...it's stimulating....and unlike the most famous Glass scored piece, it's going somewhere...in fact this is a prequel to a feature film which I believe they have just finished shooting called The Colour of Everything so I'm looking forward to seeing where they go with this premise...
So, The Blue Candle, a visually, aurally and intellectually stimulating teaser for what looks to be a very unique feature...exciting.
Saturday Night and Sunday Morning (1960)
He proper thinks he's it him.
Saturday Night and Sunday Morning - Karel Reisz (1960)
Arthur Seaton (Albert Finney) is a jack the lad of the highest kind, proper thinks he's it he does. But his leary boozy ways will catch up with him eventually...won't they?
Well of course they do, in the same way these films always did, but few of the others did it with such flair and confidence as this, with Albert Finney tearing up the screen as Arthur. A humurous tale of a delusional little boy freed into the world without any thought for the grim meat hook realities in store for him.
A classic.
8.75/10
