Last Film You Watched




Watched Benediction, new film from Terence Davies, who I knew from Of Time and The City. This is interesting as being about a poet it has moments of poetry like that old Liverpool documentary.
Benediction is a true story about a poet, Siegfried Sassoon, who during the great war started to question the huge loss of life. He ended up in a hospital where he met Wfred Owen who lived in Birkenhead.
It's a really good film, set mostly post war, it deals a lot with homosexual relationships, male love triangles.
It's a good true drama film, perhaps a bit too long though.
I really liked this. Was good to see a Terence Davies film getting out there on plenty of screens, as his stuff usually gets fairly limited releases. I also thought Capaldi was very good in this, as I find him to be pretty much the same in most things, but here he really went for a sort of performance.
 
Saw Top Gun: Maverick. Ridiculously entertaining, and a benchmark for how to properly do a modern blockbuster. I loved how it was so unapologetic in its approach - it didn't mind referencing the original, and never tried to be hip or clever. The most fun film in a long time.

Yeah that good points, Of Time and The City, I only recall it being shown at the Philharmonic.
