This week Alex is joined by semi regular guest Paul to bring reviews of some of the special programming from the recently wrapped up 65th BFI London Film Festival. Between satellite screenings around the country and at home screenings on BFI Player, this year had a packed schedule with plenty for everyone. We take time to review six of this year's offerings ahead of their upcoming releases.
Julia Ducournau's French thriller 'Titane' is the Palme d'Or winning follow up to 'Raw' and has been the subject of much discussion and hype since it's premiere there. Kristen Stewart stars as an imagined version of Princess Diana during a pivotal Christmas with the in-laws in 'Spencer', Edgar Wright's much anticipated time warping thriller 'Last Night in Soho' stars Thomasin McKenzie and Anya Taylor-Joy, 'Flee' is a much talked about animated documentary detailing the journey of a young gay refugee from Afghanistan, Jeymes Samuel opened the festival with his stylish western 'The Harder They Fall' which stars Jonathan Majors and Idris Elba, finally Lee Haven Jones' strange Welsh language horror 'The Feast' features a dinner party unlike any other.
