About Time (2013) 7/10
Latest romantic comedy from Richard Curtis about a guy blessed with a gift of travelling back in time to try and improve things which he attempts to use to find true love. Its a funny and sweet film, with a strong cast, but a slightly annoying lead character which was my main problem with it. It never quite reaches the heights of Four Weddings, but at the end it suddenly becomes a very tender and deeply sad film about loss.
Pather Panchali (1955) 9/10
First part of Satyajit Ray's trilogy following the lives of a couple of children growing in a poor village in India. The story is very simple, but visually the film really captures the magic of being young and gives a real poetic sense of location, the performances are excellent, and the story thought provoking and powerful.
