Silent Souls(2010) and Romantics Anonymous(2010)


Silent Souls is a Russian film that takes its title very seriously, I'd wager over half the film is spent with ambient noises and the soundtrack being front and center of the film, with the Dialogue being used to frame the scene.

The Best Exotic Marigold Hotel(2011)

Alright, so i missed the session for the film i wanted to see this week(Life in Movement), and ended up being delighted with something different instead.
The best Exotic Marigold Hotel a bit of a who's who of British cinema with Tom Wilkinson, Judi Dench, Bill Nighy, Ronald Pickup, Celia Imrie, Penelope Wilton and Maggie Smith, and one from your younger generation with Dev Patel. The film has a simple setup, Through different circumstances, a group of elderly British citizens book in to spend the rest of they're twilight years at 'the best exotic marigold hotel for the elderly and beautiful', owned and operated by a young India man (Patel).
