I could really leave the title at that and tell you to go watch the film, but I won't because I want to talk about it. More of course in the Spoiler review that I'll publish only when the film comes out. So some context. I am currently writing this since seeing the film on … Continue reading Tolkien (2019) – NON SPOILERS – Everything You Could Ever Want!
Parinati (1989) – Fate and Greed in Rajasthan A Long Time Ago
This film is so small it would be easily overlooked, the Wikipedia page is small as well as the Imdb. And this is small, filmed in the 80s with what looks like a small but makable budget and still making the most of it. This film even won the National Award for Costuming which is … Continue reading Parinati (1989) – Fate and Greed in Rajasthan A Long Time Ago
Piku (2015) – A Quirky Tale of Family, Heritage and Hierarchies

Ivan Tsarevitch and The Changing Princess (2016) – Silhouetted Fables With A Clear Cut Story
Ivan Tsarévitch et la Princesse Changeante is the films original French title. Taking fairy tales and changing them or telling them anew is not a new thing, but the way this film frames it makes it ever more delightful that the ones who have remade stories in recent years (yes, Disney I mean you). Summary: … Continue reading Ivan Tsarevitch and The Changing Princess (2016) – Silhouetted Fables With A Clear Cut Story
Some Indian Travel Songs
I was on holiday in Scotland we rode a lot in the car and I listened to A LOT of Indian music while in the backseat. Pritam in the Highlands and A. R. Rahman on the plane, they both seem to have perfectly captured what it feels like to be somewhere else in their songs … Continue reading Some Indian Travel Songs
Belladonna of Sadness (1973) – Evocative, But Suffers From A Mixed Message
Whoo boy is this going to be a complex movie to tangle open. Not in a plot way, but just in the imagery and how to put it. ANYWAY THIS MOVIE IS FOR ADULTS SO KIDS STAY OFF THIS ONE!

After (2019) – SPOILERS – Some Good, Some Bad
This is really more of an expansion of my thoughts about the movie already discussed in the non spoiler review. I've now had time to think and let the story sink in and think about it for a couple of days. I will start with the positives. Firstly, the humour. The boyfriend that felt more … Continue reading After (2019) – SPOILERS – Some Good, Some Bad

Tapestry of Bronze: The Niobe Trilogy – Myth in the Making
Rarely have I come across a book trilogy that I love so much. I love ancient greek myths and the Bronze Age because it was the time many of the myths and legends were happening. But what sets this series apart from all the others is that the power of the gods is complicated and … Continue reading Tapestry of Bronze: The Niobe Trilogy – Myth in the Making
