Tilda Swinton recommended Gavin Maxwell: A Life in Books (curated)

"For good measure, and because of its brilliance, I include Douglas Botting’s biography of Maxwell, as the Germans say, “in partnerlook.” An immersive portrait of a fascinating and haunting man, traveler, naturalist, shark fisherman, art historian, bon viveur, classical romantic adventurer and tragic hero of his own high drama. A great life story, written by a friend, of a life lived with legendary vigor, idealistic courage and a heartbreaking undertow."

A very good and disturbing film
A very well made film with some talented actors. Based on a true story, it's very interesting to see how life was at that time. Some scenes are hard to watch but it shows the reality of how slaves were treated.

Very well written
Exactly what you would expect from Ricky Gervais
In parts is quite sinister (0 more)
After life offers good comedy value whilst at the same time taking on sensitive matters

At points is quite dark and touching unlike some other projects but Ricky Gervais

The way the various stories cross over
The visual look of the film
Comic book comes to life
A very stylish film based on a graphic novel, the film has a largely monochrome look which works well with the comic element. The film consists of a few stories that cross paths in Sin city. All of them are very good as well as the main story piecing them together. Very original.
