Laurence Anyways

BFI London Film Festival: Laurence Anyways

Laurence Anyways, a 160 minute opus that tracks ten years in the lives of Laurence—a teacher who undergoes a sex change—and his/her girlfriend Fred, who must endeavour to come to terms with his transformation. And it may be the most exhilaratingly, beguilingly, apocalyptically stylish thing I’ve ever seen.

Film: What Have You Done Today Mervyn Day? East London Before The Olympics.

Long before the reknowned Olympic Stadium was even a twinkle on the landscape’s eye, before the area was momentarily the centre of the world’s gaze and only mere weeks before the success of London’s bid to hold the 2012 Olympic Games. 2005,

CPH:PIX Film Festival: The Legend of Kaspar Hauser

Even with the involvement of American provocateur Vincent Gallo, visual artist David Manuli’s take on the fabled German tale is obscure, brash and, above all else, boring.
