Let the Right One In

Yesterday, the SWS Film Club went to the special preview screening of 'Let the Right One In' at the Watershed.

After having a few ciders, and watching the queue grow before the Cinema 1 doors opened, we took our seats to find a copy of the book and a drink waiting for all cinema goers. Sweet. I hadn't heard much about the film before hand, and was pleasantly surprised as the film unfolded. It was a interestingly shot film with a love story narrative that I also hadn't expected.

The thing I enjoyed most was the attention the film paid to the child actors. The adults that appeared had a transient feel, which really focused the mind on the characters of Oskar and Eli.

The horror is not gruesome, but is tense, with some clever twists and turns that have you thinking about the film long after you leave the cinema. Let the Right One In is one general release from Friday 10th of April, and the SWS Film Club thoroughly recommends it.

Suggestions are open for the the next film club meet on the 20th of April. Add your suggestions via the comments section below.

Suggestions

Seems as though there aren't all that many quality films on general release for the week starting Friday 17th April... But I think 'In The Loop' looks like the best of the bunch. Sadly the Cube has a talk rather than a flm on the 20th. But the Watershed does have The 400 Blows (though it is an early session) and then Tony Manero for the later evening session, so I think either of those would be a good pick!

Film club virgin

I am new and desperate to post an exciting trailer but can't find any that interesting for the 20th :( I'm well up for a bit of "I love you man!" Had a scan through the Cube as well but nothing else really floated my boat. Always up for a bit of ice ice baby too so antartic I up!
