Glorious 39

Last week I saw a few films, one of which was Glorious 39. This is easily one of the best films I’ve seen lately! The film itself was beautifully shot, and the soundtrack is excellent. The storyline was what had me most intrigued though – stuff like this always makes me wonder if any of it is based on reality? It doesn’t appear to be from what I can find out, but it’s certainly a storyline you could imagine having its seeds in truth.

Anyone else seen it? What did you think?

Age Of Stupid

Went to see Age of Stupid last night at the GFT…

Oscar-nominated Pete Postlethwaite stars as a man living alone in the devastated world of 2055, looking at old footage from 2008 and asking: why didn’t we stop climate change when we had the chance?

It made for sobering viewing… a vision of a world where we wipe ourselves out. Yet it closes with hope, that this is simply what could happen, but it doesn’t have to be that way. I think it was all the more powerful because much of the footage was real. I recommend you check it out if you get a chance, great movie.
