alexande who was a wannabe singer in the 1960s whose lives she starts to mirror and in fact starts to share that life is up on them on hand this is like a wishfulfilm on them on hand this is like a wishful film fantasy with somebody who loves a �*60s wakes up in the �*605 who loves a �*60s wakes up in the �*60s in a caf. it is also a nightmare because what happens is she starts to see things she can't do anything about. the thing i really love about him a big fan of edgar wright anyway, his movies of always sort of teetered on the brink of being musicals was up when he does a car chases there like musical car chases. when he does fight scenes it's like musicalfight scenes. this have dance scenes and big pop soundtracks but it slips between being between this and a slasher movie. at that was really clever between doing and how it shifted. people may find it's a bit to movie references because walking around in soho, every single street has a history of its own. he called it peeping toms midnight garden which i think is a brilliant description of it. i absolutely loved it. i description of it. i absolutely loved it. , ., description of it. i absolutely loved it. , . . ., loved it. i start twice and absolutely _ loved it. i start twice and absolutely love _ loved it. i start twice and absolutely love it. - loved it. i start twice and absolutely love it. and i loved it. i start twice and l absolutely love it. and the soundtrack _ absolutely love it. and the soundtrack is _ absolutely love it. and the soundtrack is supposed . absolutely love it. and the soundtrack is supposed to | absolutely love it. and the i soundtrack is supposed to be absolutely love it. and the - soundtrack is supposed to be great. wall—to—wall �*60s pop hits. i use brilliantly to get that slightly off—kilter field. he's brilliantly to get that slightly off—kilterfield. he's got brilliantly to get that slightly off—kilter field. he's got a great p0p off—kilter field. he's got a great pop sensibility anyway. i think you'd enjoy the photo i think you should see it twice because it's part of the second time. i should see it twice because it's part of the second time.- should see it twice because it's part of the second time. i see every film ou part of the second time. i see every film you recommend. _ part of the second time. i see every film you recommend. also - part of the second time. i see every film you recommend. also anotherl film you recommend. also another horror out is antlers. this film you recommend. also another horror out is antlers.— horror out is antlers. this is very stranue. horror out is antlers. this is very strange- from — horror out is antlers. this is very strange. from a _ horror out is antlers. this is very strange. from a story _ horror out is antlers. this is very strange. from a story called - horror out is antlers. this is very strange. from a story called the| strange. from a story called the quiet boy. this is executive producer... 0regon, ruraltown very impoverished. a teacher in dancers away but one of her here's a clip. i know you working on a story. willie reed _ know you working on a story. willie reed is _ know you working on a story. willie reed is a _ know you working on a story. willie reed is a little bit?

dune. as of tuesday part two is definitely happening. when you consider how many people have been defeated by the novel of dune, i think they've done a terrificjob. as i said last week on the show the massive space worms are really impressive. i mean that as a compliment. and best reissue? seven samurai is back in seminaries as part of the bfi japan season this is cura ao is masterpiece was that many people know because it's the film that inspired magnificent seven. back on the big screen. a great reason to go back to the cinema, every once in seven samurai but see a projected, on a big screen is really fabulous. it still looks as exciting and thrilling as it did when i first came out and it is fantastically influential. why, why is it so influential?
