After failing to get in to both a play and a screening of the Lives of Others, we watched This Is England last night. Pretty good actually - best British film I've seen for a while in fact, which isn't saying a whole lot but it does contain the phrase "goggle-eyed twat', which is surely worth the admission price alone. Even better than that was Phil Mulloy's 'The Christies' which we saw on Wednesday night at the Roxy. It's an animated sitcom and a very dark and funny blend of Punch and Judy and Samuel Becket involving rockabilly, nazi decorators, paedophile Japanese blues guitarists and penis transplants. The characters are all voiced by computers, but are strangely human. It's written in episodes but has a fantastic narrative that runs through the whole thing. See it if you can!
