Katie knows. She's been there. It was the end of the '70s: She was a sharp little chick in hotpants, with guest spots on "The Love Boat" and No. 1 in the US for a week! Today she's still got that voice and her fabulous looks; oozing sensuality and an acquired air of sophistication. But it's a fragile façade, she knows it's not going to last. She needs to reinvent herself. It's time to go home, revisit her roots. Stephen's always handy when you need a reality check - you can't bullshit your best mates. He's her 'lodestar', the only person she allows herself to lean on. They've rescued each other in the past, perhaps they can save themselves once more. Stephen can't wait for her to arrive. He's been playing all her old hits, much to the bemusement of his younger friend Mark, a hip songwriter with heaps of potential. But while Mark's interest has been piqued by this starlet from Stephen's past, he's busy hanging out with some other musicians right now.

In the cozy English village of Kromer, where few things are as feared as the werewolves who wander the surrounding forests and fields, two young and handsome wolves, Seth and Gabriel, meet and fall in love. Although their habits and appearance are essentially human - except for the pointed ears, coats of fur and bushy tails - the wolves are considered outcasts and a dangerous menace to the village folk. Seth and Gabs roam the fringes of Kromer, keeping their fur and friendship out of sight. But certain townspeople, afraid of those different from themselves, devise a fiendish plot to pin a murder on the hated and feared wolves. The local priest - himself a bit lycanthropic - stirs up and angry mob that pursues the young prey to the end. This tale of young love fighting the hypocrisy of an older generation, combined with elements of the classic British murder mystery, gives the film a rich and lively texture, and allows the character's diversity to show interesting contrasts. Our young wolves and their pack are urbane, glamorous and clubby but live in a world that is far from a metropolis. Their world is in fact a timeless world of waterfalls, lakes and valleys. In contrast, the village folk live an outward life of church going and piousness yet have evil on their minds. Keywords:Boy George

John Maybury's searing portrait of the English painter Francis Bacon (Derek Jacobi) at the height of his fame in the 1960s is one of the nastiest and most truthful portraits of the artist-as-monster ever filmed. It tells the story of the colossally self-absorbed painter and his self-destructive younger lover, George Dyer (Daniel Craig), and begins when Bacon awakens in his studio one night to discover a burglar on the premises. Sizing up the thief as an appetizing piece of rough trade, Bacon makes a proposition. If the robber sheds his clothes and comes to bed with him, he promises he can have anything he wants.

Genre: Comedy
Director: Gary Sinyor
Year: Y1998
Country: India, UK
Language: English
Cast: Peter Ustinov,Prunella Scales,Georgina Cates,Samuel West,Robert Portal



Set in 1908, Stiff Upper Lips chronicles the adventures of Agnes Ivory (Prunella Scales), a dotty spinster living with her niece Emily (Georgina Cates) in a Victorian gothic monstrosity near a railway stop called Ivory's End. Already 22, Emily is still unmarried, thanks to her impossibly high standards. Unluckily for Emily, her idiot brother Edward (Samuel West) has a Cambridge chum, Cedric (Robert Portal), whom Aunt Emily judges a perfect match. Emily finds Cedric's endless references to Homer, stiff mannerisms and preposterous mustache repulsive and rejects her aunt's designs on him. Her romantic interest lies instead with George (Sean Pertwee), a local socialist rabbit catcher who rescues her from drowning, alerted to her plight by Cedric's calls for help in Latin. Both fascinated and repelled by his lower class ways, Emily gets to know George better when her aunt hires him to accompany the family to Italy, where his main duty is to carry a crate of English turf and spread it wherever the family stops to have tea. After seeing Italy, the travelers are off to India for a stay with Cedric's great-uncle Horace, a dissolute tea plantation owner in India. Peter Ustinov, an Oscar-winner for Topkapi and Spartacus, plays Horace, a romantic reprobate and colonial magistrate who takes kangaroo courts to new heights. The charm of the mysterious East works its wonders on the six protagonists, who find true love in their own eccentric, very British way-Uncle Horace falling for Aunt Agnes; Cedric and Edward professing their love for each other; and Emily and George finally tying the knot. Prunella Scales and her son, Samuel West, can claim firsthand knowledge of this spoof's accuracy as both acted in Howards End -- as the patrician Aunt Juley and the proletarian Leonard Bast, respectively. In fact, West sees no need to play the upper class for laughs. "The wonderful thing about the British aristocracy in 1910," he told the London Independent, "is that so many of the things they do are ridiculous anyway. Their rules about etiquette and behavior are so extreme as to be self-parodying, so the straighter you play them, the funnier they are." Keywords:Sexual Awakening,Class Conflict
