We’re working on it. Had an issue where both people who worked on this in left quick succession.

We’re onto it and you will see that improve again now. Thanks!

"Clouzot’s version is a cinema tour de force. Tense from beginning to end, perfectly framed and edited, brilliantly acted. A must-see."

So so viewing
I had wanted to watch this when it was out at the cinema but never got chance. Having just watched it on Sky movies I'm glad I didn't go to the cinema. The movie really failed to hold my attention and I ended up reading more about it online than watching.really wouldn't recommend this one!

"There were a number of key films that taught me that great and startling cinema could come from outside Europe and away from Hollywood. I found Touki bouki (with its anarchic, vigorous style, brilliant colors and sounds, and charismatic heroine) completely surprising when I first saw it—and, more generally, it stands for the eye-opening cinema of Senegal."

Ministry of Illusion: Nazi Cinema and Its Afterlife

Book Favorite

"A wonderful critical reexamination of German cinema under Joseph Goebbels. Rentschler goes far beyond the demonizing approach employed by most writers on this subject (like Susan Tegel in Nazis and the Cinema). His excerpts from Goebbel’s diaries are priceless. And after all these years he dares to make a fair appraisal of Nazi filmmaker Veit Harlan."
