ok the link does not work but the film is at the moment in London with subtitles called The kid with a Bike by the Dardenne brothers . Won last year a big prize at the cannes film festival. Excellent.

Hi Brad,
I would like to recommend the screening of an incredible new documentary by East Sussex film maker Steven Ben Cole. It is called R-Evolution

Here is an eight minute trailer:

The Shop around the Corner is fantastic i suggested it last year already it would please everyone it is a gem.
The Artist has been seen by a lot now so not worth it and not so good anyway.
Les demoiselles de Rochefort is a classic as well as Les parapluies de Cherbourg (more tragic). I adored Cria Cuervos at the time, may I suggest Like Water for Chocolate a gem as well. I think no Bergman Peter Greenaway yes all of them are good ….
