who is conflicted about his sexuality and that is something in which terrence davis has addressed indirectly in his films before. there s the issue of religion. siegfried converted to catholicism later in life and terrence davies kind of famously. turned his back on the church after feeling abandoned by it. and so what you have is an artist, a poet of the cinema making a film about a poet whose life encompasses and social changes but at the centre of it it is a really kind of heartbreaking story about somebody who can t be who they are, isn t sure who they are, isn t certain that the art they are making is actually as good as it ought to be and seems to be trapped in a situation when they want to change the world, they want to change themselves and they are constantly thwarted. it s like a collage, it flips backwards and forwards in time and we get different actors playing the same characters. as always with terrence davies movies, is beautiful to look at, he is a real poet o
Movies, is beautiful to look at, he is a real poet of cinema. but the best thing about it is, it s a personalfilm, you can feel the film maker talking to you through the film. i think that terrence davies is one of our great treasures. he makes films like four or five years, he doesn t churn them out. but every time he does, they are worth stopping and watching. if you are a terrence davies fan you go, 0k, fine, great it s a terrence davies film. if you re not, i think this is a very good way in because it s accessible. people know the story of siegfried sassoon to some extent. they know the story, they know the parameters. this is a way of looking at that story. it is emotionally exhausting. it s not a bunch of laughs although there are laughs in it, strangely enough. but i just thought it was.

From the italian director, a memorable portrait of him and his exuberant family in naples as he was growing up, and beset by tragedy. watch out for that traffic there. number eight, from sir kenneth branagh, another personalfilm account of childhood, in this case belfast. the film is a valentine to the city and a loving tribute to his family, helped by a brilliant portrayal by young actorjude hill. your breathing is stressing me out. this will affect the entire planet. in seventh place, don t look up, adam mckay s refreshing media satire, speculating on what would happen if a giant comet was hurtling towards earth, spelling total extinction. what i see in her is obvious. what she sees in me is a little more puzzling. in sixth place, annette, the opening film at this year s cannes film festival, in which the story and songs came from the pop duo sparks. a seriously weird but
