“ | In general, the impossible must be justified by reference to artistic requirements, or to the higher reality, or to received opinion. With respect to the requirements of art, a probable impossibility is to be preferred to a thing improbable and yet possible.
- Aristotle, The Poetics (335 BC) Book I, XXV |

Awful, heart twisting tragedy about drug use, ad absurdum. Seeing once is enough.
Modern day Pinnochio brought to life through a dystopic world where the love of a boy for his mother is manufactured and sold like a commodity.
Williams is a calm, collected crime novelist and killer who wants the detective, Pacino, to believe that if nobody knows what has happened and the abusive boyfriend of the dead girl is locked away instead, this is as good as justice being done. When Pacino, whose character is "Dormer" dies in the end, he is relieved of his guilt as his deal with Williams will be revealed, and his previous attempts to cover up evidence come to light. It's about the flaws of utilitarianism.
Slightly nauseous but crowd pleasing tale, shrink wrapping the Britishness of various characters who meet in a big love-filled happy ending at a primary school.
Superb historical recreation which goes too far in trying to make a rather small point with extended scenes of messianic torture.
John Le Carre's story of the murder of a diplomat's wife, leading to the uncovering of corporate drug testing on African people.
Recreation of the absurdity of trench life, between the British, French and German lines on the first Christmas of the War.
One of the most creative recreations of the muck-filled life of a 17th century Parisian boy with the gift of smell.
A mysteriously compelling retelling set in the dark and dirty alleys of Victorian London.
Slow, but ethically charged film centring on a black mother's wish to have her child schooled without being disturbed, mixed up with a über-bureaucratic mother superior that wishes to sideline her pastoral colleague.
The most intelligent thriller ever made, where the Joker is guided by a philosophy of anarchism, his traps employ game theory and the characters evolve with the unmakeable choices.
The quest to watch the world's rarest bird, brings a boy-scout and an elderly man into your heart.
The mind-bendingly imaginative plot takes professional dreamers to implant the idea of love for a father in the thoughts of the heir to an energy empire.
