AT THE MOVIES #947   HERE’S LOOKING AT YOU KID

 

Simon Morris once again faces the challenge of making a radio show about a visual medium, including this week a comic book spectacular, a documentary about great – and indescribable – paintings, and a dialogue-free story of a runaway donkey.

 

 

The Marvels sees the MCU attempt to win over the teenage girl market, with mixed success.  Starring Brie Larsen (Room) as Captain Marvel and Samuel L Jackson (Snakes on a plane) as Nick Fury.

 

 

 

 

Ravilious: Drawn to war is the story of Eric Ravilious, a half-forgotten English war artist who 70 years later was rediscovered and hailed as one of English art’s greats.   Featuring Ravilious fans Alan Bennett, Ai Weiwei and Grayson Perry.  

 

 

 

And the multi-award winning EO finally arrives in New Zealand, the story of a lone donkey travelling through modern day Europe in search of a home.   Written and directed by 86-year-old Polish auteur Jerzy Skolimowski (The shout, Moonlighting).
