Quiet Day review

This was quite an unusual film but entertaining nevertheless. If I had to be critical, I'd say that the supporting cast was not used enough. There were interesting cameos but all too brief.

I saw this film in London the actors were brilliant - I wanted the film to last longer as i was glued to the suspense. It's a shame they don't make more movies like this it's original which is what cinema's lack these days. It was a pleasant surprise to watch a film that wasn't a remake of a tv series.

Film Review

I had heard about this film when I was studying in Paris a few years ago. I finally managed to see it a few days ago and loved it. It's a classic sixties style French Film noir with lots of silhoettes, silence and smoking.
